Il Gallo In Savignano sul rubicone

09/06/2025: Giannino has been an “iconic” restaurant in Milan since 1899, in Via Vittor Pisani 6, between Piazza della Repubblica and the Central Station. Founded in 1899 by Giovanni Bindi, known as "Giannino". The restaurant has gone from a simple wine shop to a point of reference for the Milanese bourgeoisie and the international jet set. Over the years, it has hosted celebrities such as Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly and Maria Callas, whose photographs still adorn the walls of the restaurant. Giannino's culinary offering combines Milanese tradition with international influences. Among the classic dishes, the Risotto alla Milanese, the Costoletta alla Milanese and the Veal Ossobuco stand out. Chef Maurizio Lai, together with executive chef Andrea Locci, has also introduced innovative dishes to the menu such as Fregola mantecata ai crostacei con miso di riso and Hummus di ceci al lime. Very interesting environment, excellent service, raw materials used and dishes. Highly recommended!

19/05/2025: I went to Giannino for a dinner with friends and I left fully satisfied! The place is well-kept and maintains an old-world charm without appearing "lived in". The staff is courteous and knowledgeable, and here a special mention is due to Dennis, who accompanied us throughout the evening knowing how to guide us through the menu and wines, meeting everyone's tastes. We ate very well, simple traditional Italian dishes but executed to perfection, tasty and prepared with quality ingredients, congratulations!
