Osteria del Balabiott In Milano

I really enjoyed this cute Osteria. The wine was devine and the Horizontal Lazagnette literally melted in my mouth. 😋

We came across this restaurant on a recommendation. The food tastes good, but the portions are rather small. When the waiter asked us how we’d found the food, we politely told him what we thought, whereupon he insulted us and reacted rather rudely!

Typical Milanese tavern Excellent service

Chose this place on a whim, having never been to Milan before, and I would absolutely go back. Food was delicious! Wine was great. Ambiance was lovely. Service was a little slow, but that’s to be expected. They did have some outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. Indoor seating is neat because you can see into the kitchen. Menu is entirely Italian so you know it’s a “local” spot. Reservations encouraged. Highly recommend.

This morning I visited the "Last Supper" exhibition and the Leonardo da Vinci Museum. I asked my chat group for recommendations on delicious and authentic Milanese food nearby, and AI strongly recommended this restaurant. We cycled over. The restaurant is located in a residential area with few tourists. A humorous and handsome young man, who seemed to be the owner, greeted us and eased our unfamiliarity with Italian with his English and smiles. We ordered the classic risotto and oxtail shank with risotto. It was incredibly delicious. The oxtail shank was even better than I expected—tender yet firm meat with a well-distributed flavor. The tendons and marrow were especially delicious, and the portion was huge! I finished it all, but I was so full that I missed out on the very delicious dessert. Thank you to the owner for introducing me to Grissini, a wonderful Italian pastry. Its fragrant and soft texture, with the added fennel seeds, made it an instant favorite. I highly recommend it to anyone passing by!

Excellent typical Milanese restaurant with an informal atmosphere, courtesy and attention to customer service.

A wonderful discovery, recommended by friends in Milan. The plate of mondeghili is generous, tasty and perfectly fried, as is the fried Milanese cutlet, thick and juicy. The traditional risotto is also good. The service is pleasant and unobtrusive, the wine list is good, and the small outdoor area is welcoming. Highly recommended.

Russian salad, vertical lasagnetta and barbajada. Wonderful 👍😃
