La Pagnotta In Milano

We hoped to find a place to eat that was NOT made for tourists, so we walked away from the Duomo. What a gem! The delicious Sardinian food was prepared with care and our owner/host (for 40 years!) recommended perfectly paired wines. The potato and mint ravioli and grilled radicchio with cheese were my favorites. At the outdoor tables, we talked with a local regular and my son got up to kick a ball with a small boy. Wonderful last night in Italy!

Great hospitality- end of story

What a great find in the center of Milano. The food is so GREAT. Everything that we ordered from the Pecorino cheese plate, to the milanese meatballs, parmigiana di melanzana, and octopus plate. Delicious deserts (tiramisu and upside down apple tart). The owner (Gigi) is one of a kind.

Now this is a proper neighborhood bar. The friendly owner is clearly passionate and runs a great operation. Simple yet delicious food options, mostly from his island home of Sardinia. A full bar including some good wines. Many locals stopped in for an afternoon espresso while we were there. He insisted on making us a cold espresso drink before we left called caffe shakerato. Keep in mind, your experience will be more enjoyable if you have some knowledge of the language.

We went for aperitivo before a concert at the Chiesa San Antonio D’Albate around the corner. The Sardinian owner is incredibly charming and the wine list and home made snacks excellent. Highly recommended. Xx

Amazing service and laughs from Gigi! He made us an incredible homemade gnocchi with fresh tomato sauce and crostini. He suggested fantastic wine from Sardinia and Puglia. Loved Gigi and his food!

Incredible authentic and intimate wine bar 200m from the Duomo. Great selection of wine, excellent food and superb service. 3 glasses of beautiful wine plus excellent food for 50 euros. Loved it!

Finally a place to feel at home in Milan! Excellent quality homemade food and owners to have a laugh with

Courtesy and genuine food in a place with a welcoming atmosphere!

This restaurant is authentic! The few dishes on the lunch menu are like home-cooked to the tradition, the service is genuinely personal and the ambience is peaceful. Step back in the last millnnium for an enjoyable lunch.
