This historic restaurant in Abbiategrasso was a favorite with my grandfather as a child, then with my dad, and now it's always a favorite when I'm in the area. The atmosphere is quiet and refined, and the Milanese cuisine is always the same, but always updated. The boiled meats and roasts are excellent, although this time I had the mondeghili and a delicious Milanese-style risotto.
The Campari sorbet was very original and delicious.
The price was fair for what we ordered.
I need to go back more often.

A fairly elegant restaurant. To enter, you have to ring the bell, waiting outside if no one is available at the reception desk. You enter into a lovely, welcoming, and clean space with a small room to the right and one to the left. The atmosphere is a bit noisy, but unfortunately, this is due to the diners, who often aren't aware of their loudness. The service is good, the wine list is encyclopedic in size, and the menu is interesting. The highlight is the boiled meat and roast meat trolley, which rotates through the rooms and offers dishes ranging from €26 to €29. The desserts and their wine pairings are also good.
The prices are a bit high, especially compared to the main courses. We ordered a boiled meat platter with seven different pieces, which was worth €29, while I personally ordered a roast meat platter with four pieces, and paid the same price. But things went even worse with the side dishes: since they were running low on potatoes, they gave me four and the other person four, charging us the same as a full side dish. The worst part is that when they replenished the cart with the potatoes, which had been prepared in the meantime, they didn't even think to top up our meager side dishes. The price was therefore inappropriate, and they even miscalculated our bill by adding a wine we hadn't ordered. Let's just say that the facade is beautiful, and renowned, but the contents could be improved. I ate well, it's true, but I don't think I'll be back.
