Osteria del Balabiott In Milano

Sunday lunch. We are three. The dishes and wines to pair are explained and recommended to us. We choose one off the menu and we are told the price. The service was impeccable; our table was changed due to an inconvenience although we had not requested it. As for the food, everything was perfect. We are welcomed with excellent crostini with salami paste and wild fennel breadsticks. We order a platter of appetizers with homemade fried gnocco; I don't like fried foods but I had to change my mind due to the lightness of the product. Ossobuco with impeccable risotto as well as the rustin nega'a ravioli. For the small inconvenience mentioned above we are offered some sweet "pampering": biancorí and barbajada as well as coffee. In conclusion: everything was excellent, from the cuisine, to the service, to the environment which evokes the Milan of Gaber, Jannacci, Milan and Inter and everything that made the city immortal.

Refined cuisine, zealous and competent service in a place with soft black and white photographic references of local personalities. A pleasant moment!!!

True Milanese cuisine, typical dishes, super friendly staff.

Very nice eloquent maitre maitre

Good choice! We'll definitely be back 🔝👍

Il balabiott è un locale che si trova immerso nel cuore di Milano, poco distante dal centro. Una perla autentica in una città che pullula di locali turistici. Qui, invece, si respira area della vera Milén. Piatti della tradizione: due cotolette, una ricetta antica, una ricetta tradizionale con orecchie di elefante. Ottimo il pane di accompagnamento. Prezzi modici rispetto alla media milanese. Personale molto molto gentile. Bellissima la cucina a vista. Molto consigliato

Vero ristorante milanese, ottima cotoletta! Qualità/prezzo comunque valida Servizio molto valido, gentilissimo e disponibile.

Osteria Del Balabiott: what can I say? I've been in a sad period for restaurateurs (damn COVID-19 😷) but I have to say that when you see young but mature guys in organizing a place well, I can't help but give a review. The place is very well organised, the environment is comfortable, well furnished in 70s style, the crockery is clean and shiny, the environment is well divided giving a sense of security and privacy that is not easily found in other places . The kitchen is open to view (the one I prefer) and the chefs are therefore scrutable in their "correctness" and cleanliness in preparing dishes for customers. The restaurant manager is courteous and personally serves the dishes, revealing his enthusiasm and professionalism. If we then add that dogs (docile and well-behaved) are welcome, I think that for us dog lovers, it is the classic icing on the cake. I ate a good cassœula and a homemade dessert with my wife which, in addition to being good, was also well presented. The recommended glass of wine paired well with the dish. Good coffee. Account without surprises, in line with the market. In conclusion, having also "cast my eyes" at the dishes served (and presented at the other nearby tables), I recommend you try it, as I did and where I will certainly return with some friends, as well as my dog ​​and I hope to go there for dinner, if the virus allows us…

Calling it a trattoria is an understatement! Lovely place with attention to detail. Expertly prepared food and excellent raw materials, priceless kindness and friendliness! What to say??? If you pass through Milan, it's an obligatory stop, it's worth the trip!

Excellent quality raw materials, preparations and prices that are truly at the top
