Caffe' Trattoria Ambrosiana In Milano

The simple and genuine trattoria of yesteryear

Antica Osteria (probably opened in 1936), with an excellent quality/price ratio. Simple atmosphere, but quick service. Highly recommended. Grandfather Renato

Hidden in a little street near Piola, a very unsocial place, absolutely not Instagrammable, but we like it immensely that way. It's all exactly like it used to be: fast, direct, without a lot of unnecessary frills and focused on substance. For example the service. "What are you eating? First courses first." A risotto and spaghetti with meat sauce. In less than two minutes everything is served at the table, strictly made of wood and set with paper tablecloths and napkins, just as the old school of Italian trattoria wants. This time we'll tell you the price straight away: €12 for a first course, a second course and a side dish. No, it's not a joke... in 2025 something like this is still possible in Milan! Let's move on to the dishes: the risotto is simple and effective, without frills, the spaghetti with ragù balanced and without excess. To finish, a steak with a side of fennel. Essential, but visible to the eye (and in the era of globalization we believe it is a real panacea). What can I say??? …Milan is a great Milan!

It feels like home. Excellent food and generous portions. Fixed stop every time I'm in Milan.

Milanese trattoria with typical dishes without many pretensions and cheap.

As always, the food is good, the price has increased a bit since the last time I was there but it's okay, the owner is a bit rigid in general but never rude, in short, everyone has their own character

Una delle pochissime vere trattorie rimaste in città. Voti da 1 a 10: 9 per il locale. Semplice, pulito, con qualche decennio alla spalle, giustamente chiassoso e un po’ rustico. Bellissimo. Atmosfera tanto informale quanto piacevole. 9 per il cibo. Buono il risotto con i funghi e buona anche la cassœla. Per la verità la cassœla era un po’ brodosa e non molto ricca, ma a quel prezzo non si può chiedere di più o di meglio. 7 per il servizio. Un po’ lento ma cordiale. Eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo. Ci tornerei? Sì. Lo consiglierei? Assolutamente sì.

Good food, generous portions, very quick service and low prices. I highly recommend for business lunches

Local and very familiar place. The food was excellent, Tommaso looked after us very well. Quality price, highly recommended. Try the artisan desserts (very good)

Ormai è un punto fermo per pranzi al miglior rapporto qualità/prezzo nella fascia dei ristoranti economici. Ci torno volentieri, trovo il menu giorno ad un prezzo sempre conveniente (12 euro, che con un quartino di vino rosso diventano 13,50 euro). Il cibo buono, anche se semplice, e le porzioni abbondanti. Provo spaghetti al ragù, bollito in salsa verde e spinaci; il giorno successivo risotto ai quattro formaggi, arrosto con patate.
