10/01/2025: An absolute must if you go to Milan. Inside, it’s a cozy, old-world Italian dream. The chef takes your order at the table, jokes around, pours himself a glass of wine (jokingly), and heads back to the kitchen. Occasionally, he answers the door to other hopeful diners, hoping to get a table. He is a one man band and food is made to order, so enjoy the company and the experience.
The food was incredible, with lasagna that might just ruin all other lasagna for me. But the experience? Completely unmatched. It felt like stepping into a movie—an eccentric, charming Italian film starring the chef as a real-life version of Remy from Ratatouille.
If you can find the back alley restaurant, near the Duomo, and get a seat at a table, don’t pass it up! We can’t wait to go again to what we lovingly call the “Knock, knock restaurant“.
09/01/2025: La Corte di San Maurilio is a place to eat in a good and genuine way, without too many frills, where you are welcomed. The value for money is excellent, also given the location in the center of Milan. Recommended for all needs, whether you are visiting as a tourist or for a lunch break from work. The kitchen is always open!
