Antica Trattoria Monlue In Milano

10/10. Beautiful place and I ate divinely 💫

I went for lunch on Saturday. It's located far from the city, surrounded by greenery, in a beautiful garden, near Linate. For a moment, I felt like I was far from Milan, in another era. In fact, the trattoria dates back to the 1400s, even mentioned by Manzoni in his "The Betrothed." As soon as I arrived, I immediately fell in love with its vintage/retro style. It has several rooms, one more intimate with a fireplace, the others larger and more spacious (also for ceremonies). The trattoria offers over 150 wines. The menu offers traditional Milanese and Sicilian dishes. I tried: Welcome arancini; Pumpkin and porcini mushroom tart with fresh cheese cream and mustard; Suckling pig in tuna sauce with our giardiniera and its sauce; Mondeghili pasta with butter and salsa verde; Saffron risotto and veal ossobuco in gremolada (2 people per person). Wine: Mombrione, with an intense aroma and a bold, full-bodied flavor. Dessert: Shortcrust pastry cake with seasonal fruit and cream. I had a wonderful time; excellent food, fast service, and a charming location. Average prices.

Nice place Friendly staff Fair prices And good food What more could you ask for?

The atmosphere is welcoming, warm, and attentive. We had an excellent saffron risotto accompanied by delicious ossobuco. The staff was incredibly friendly and the location was charming. Highly recommended!

Excellent trattoria for traditional Milanese cuisine.

Eugenio is a very sweet person. We had a wonderful meal; his cooking is amazing. We'll be back soon!

I was here for the first time a week ago and I'm back already. The place is beautiful and welcoming, as is the welcoming, kind, and helpful staff. The cuisine is fantastic and meticulously prepared. I really like that the menu, which is essentially Milanese, has strong Sicilian influences. Highly recommended.

The ancient Trattoria Monlué is a restaurant offering both traditional Milanese and Sicilian dishes. This union is a result of the lineage of the owners, namely the former owner, who is Sicilian. After the management left, the new management decided to maintain the same selection of dishes without radically changing the menu. The restaurant, in addition to outdoor seating for the warmer seasons, has a very large and welcoming dining room with the option of reserving two private rooms upstairs. Delicious dishes and quality ingredients. Excellent for gluten-free options, with a variety of appetizers, first courses, second courses, and desserts. The service was quick and the staff friendly. Average prices. Highly recommended.

I had dinner with a colleague in Milan. A colleague from Tuscany told me that risotto is a staple in Milan, so I ordered the saffron risotto. For the appetizer, I had what appeared to be eggplant stir-fried with tomatoes. The eggplant was so delicious that it made me want to drink wine. Just as I was starting to feel good, the saffron risotto and another specialty, osso buco (veal shank stewed in tomato sauce), arrived. Both the veal and the risotto were exquisite, and whether eaten separately or together, the flavors filled my mouth. A plate that would have been enough for two people in Japan was easily devoured with red wine. I was stuffed after returning to the hotel, but I thoroughly enjoyed my night in Milan. The restaurant also had a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and the staff were all friendly and provided excellent service.

Dishes were not served simultaneously to diners at the same table. The food was nothing special, and I found the value for money to be inadequate.
