Osteria la Carbonella In Milano

La Carbonella is an absolute gem — a true testament to the passion and warmth of a family-owned Italian restaurant. From the moment we stepped in, we were treated like family. The ambiance is rustic and charming, with the perfect balance of cozy and elegant. The food? Out of this world. The carbonara was easily the best I’ve ever had — rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of pancetta and pecorino. No shortcuts here — just traditional Italian excellence. And the steak… wow. Cooked to perfection, juicy, and incredibly flavorful with a gorgeous sear. You can tell they take pride in sourcing quality ingredients and preparing them with real care. It was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the whole experience felt personal and heartfelt. La Carbonella is more than just a meal — it’s a celebration of authentic Italian cooking done right. We’ll be back again and highly recommend eating here.

Andavo sempre anni fa, siamo ritornati ed è sempre la migliore carne di Milano: una fiorentina eccezionale! I proprietari sempre gli stessi, la carne sempre più buona! L’atmosfera è come essere in famiglia: eccezionale!

Such a nice experience, lovely hosts had the risotto and it was delicious - full of locals

We had a great time, in an authentic atmosphere and with good products. We got our ticket at the end, and we paid the prices displayed on the card. We recommend this place!

I loved it, highly recommended. The food was very delicious, the house wine was very good. He Service is excellent, the owner and his wife take care of you. Very friendly, one of those places that have their charm in the personalization that is lovingly designed by the owner. Quite an experience, there is no parking. Excellent place. The cuts are spectacular. Walking there was quite an experience. The streets, the area in particular, are beautiful.

Ci sono tornato ieri sera dopo una assenza di circa cinque anni. Ristorante storico milanese in stile vintage aperto nel 1978 e gestito da Santo, il mitico e arzillo proprietario che ha ormai raggiunto una età veneranda e dalla sua signora. Abbiamo degustato una Fiorentina eccellente, qualità di carne una delle migliori a Milano a confronto di altre blasonate bracerie e questo detto da un carnivoro come me. Eravamo in moto e quindi non abbiamo toccato vino o altri alcolici ma solo un paio di bottiglie d’acqua. Abbiamo gustato una Fiorentina da 1,5 Kg, due contorni di patate saltate e due dessert, frutti di bosco con gelato spendendendo 60€ a testa. Un prezzo perfettamente in linea per la qualità e la quantità della carne che ci è stata servita e tenendo conto dei prezzi di altri ristoranti in centro a Milano. Chi si lamenta dei prezzi nelle altre recensioni è mai stato in altri ristoranti in centro a Milano o solo nei ristorantini a menù fisso in periferia?

It was a really good meal. We ordered the Florentine for 2 people, it was really good. The staff was friendly, and overall it's a good restaurant 🙂 (sorry if my Italian isn't good, because I'm not from Italy)

Good! This is a real and authentic Italian Osteria!

The service, atmosphere and food are delicious, I recommend it

The food is very authentic and feels very homemade.
