Macelleria Popolare In Milano

This is the best effing meal I’ve had in Milan and in years. Beats many Michelins I’ve been to, and I live in New York, and ate through various notable metropolitan cities and travelled quite a bunch. The chef is personable and charming, and I’m so humbly honored to be able to taste his creations. He was so genuine in his recommendations. Even the only beer on the menu is amazing (Italian Saison, really unique). They offer great cuts of beef and lamb, including dry aged, but I attacked the unique ones like veal brain (fried Milanese style), head cheese (amazing horseradish garnish that cuts the gelatinous grain), intestines in pomodoro sauce, grilled sweetbreads, and a simple lamb chop. Surprisingly, the lamb was a tad over done since I’m a medium rare person but I assume that’s just how they eat it here. The ordinary stuff pales in comparison to the unique items. My favorite are the intestines, that just broke away in Al dente strands against the umami rich tomato sauce and balance of pecorino. I assume they are San marzanos. The next best is the head cheese, which is in a rich gooey sauce that sticks to the teeth a little like toffee with intense rich demi glacé / ligament like flavors. I’m going to try the tiramisu next because wife, she’s not too into the off cuts - just means more for me. Also got the kidneys as well, loved it. I’m still tearing from gastronomical pleasure. It’s a journey of flavor and surprise. Watching baby ducks on the canal is a big plus. I rarely post any reviews, but this is an intense call to action, please keep this shop alive till the end of time. I’ll bring my yet to be born kids here one day.

It's an experience for the palate.

It's one of those places I'd always like to return to. Unique food, incredible service, and top-notch product quality. These are the places that deserve everyone to visit and are the places that deserve to do very well. Order the Svizzera Panini and the Tiramisu.

Divine food, extremely homemade

The place of the heart. The best place in Milan where everything is perfect.

Nothing special… we took various dishes. Long wait and high prices, personally I wasn't crazy about most things. Very good bombette, grandma's meatballs 90% bread, liver skewers ok. Other places in the market are more interesting

There're those traditional butcher shops where they will prepare for you the meat you bought. This place is exactly like that, without the shop part. High quality food, excellent and lovely service, fantastic preparation.

Excellent experience, a little expensive if you want to try multiple courses as they are finger food portions but the selection of raw materials is very careful. Exceptional Swiss sandwich and braised meat sandwich. I would go back.

Goodness 10 stars! 10 star service! Very prepared team. Well what can I say.... Top 10 places to eat in Milan. Unique and inimitable! Highly recommended!

¡Justo lo que anhelábamos! Sabrosa y deliciosa carne acompañada de vino brillante! Nunca esperaríamos algo tan bueno en el mercado. Realmente recomiendo una visita!
