12/07/2025: Giannino dal 1899 was top tier. The food was delicious and tasted authentic to the Italian cuisine we were looking for. We were not disappointed with our decision to dine here! The restaurant itself was very comfortable and beautiful. The service was phenomenal. Franco, our waiter, was more than welcoming. His kindness, catering to our needs, and amiable personality were very heartwarming and appreciated. This is an excellent choice for dining, and a restaurant you should not miss.
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!
