Don Lisander In Milano

Bel ristorante a due passi dal duomo nel quadrilatero della moda. Locale molto grande, curato e accogliente. Servizio ottimo. Risotto alla milanese con ossobuco molto buono. Ampia scelta di vino al calice. A pranzo pienissimo. Vorrei tornare la sera o d'estate all'aperto.

Great food and atmosphere. Friendly and prepared staff.

Truly excellent restaurant in the center of Milan. The Milanese cutlet, very good.

Da alcune settimane il ristorante propone, anche in vendita da asporto, la nuova Torta Provvidenza. In effetti si tratta di una rivisitazione in chiave moderna della antica "carsenza", un dolce povero dei secoli scorsi, fatto con il pane avanzato ammollato nel latte cui erano aggiunti zucchero e frutta secca (a volte anche fresca) avanzata dal pranzo di Natale, il tutto cotto al forno. Si mangiava tipicamente a Capodanno e ne erano ghiotti Alessandro Manzoni e la prima moglie Enrichetta. Ora rivive e viene venduta in una scatola con l'effige di Manzoni, che i milanesi chiamavano affettuosamente Don Lisander. Una nuova torta di Milano, oltre al panettone? Noi ne abbiamo comperata una sabato scorso e mangiata assieme ad amici, accompagnandola con una pallina di gelato alla crema: ottima! Ne abbiamo già prenotata un'altra per Natale.

I was passing through Via Manzoni and I found myself in front of Don Lisander, I booked and went in. Apart from the surprise of the heated door handle, the elegance of the room decorated for next Christmas, the preparation of the service and the kind and discreet welcome. I had the culatello (which melted in your mouth) and the venison with mushrooms and mashed potatoes. Everything was really excellent. Panettone with excellent zabaglione and coffee. Wine: a glass of Prosecco from Conegliano and a Chianti. I knew the place from having been there in the summer a few years ago, but the room in the winter is really nice. I'll definitely be back!

Restaurant in the center of Milan where everything, absolutely everything, more than lives up to expectations. The owner Stefano welcomes customers as if they were family, the cuisine is spectacular (risotto and ossobuco not even our grandmothers make them so good) and the staff indulges every whim of even the most avid pains in the ass, like me. Very characteristic location, super-stocked wine cellar with top quality labels. Then the final blow comes from the Don Lisander cake: It's not cake, it's not panettone, it's just pure goodness. And proportionately it costs less than a trattoria. SEVEN STARS

This restaurant needs to be at the top of your list to visit. Our party of four had a wonderful time meeting the owner, enjoying the great service from his staff, and savored the delicious meals. Don Lisander is a beautiful, elegant, and outstanding restaurant.

We sat in the garden which was very nice. The staff were very friendly and professional. The food was good but a bit on the salty side.

Very suggestive, romantic and elegant place. Exquisite typical dishes of the Milanese tradition. Friendly service.

Well, it just seemed quite expensive to me, the tiramisu at 12.50, the most expensive we ate in Milan, a non-alcoholic beer €8, well, a bit expensive
