Santoro In Buccinasco

Old farmhouse and inn in the Gudo Gambaredo area, authentic and typically Milanese cuisine, recommended.

One midsummer evening, we stumbled upon this very spartan place, a trattoria from days gone by. Everything has remained as it was in the 1940s. We ordered a first course for two, an appetizer for two, a second course each, water, wine, a dessert for two, and coffee. I'll start by saying that I made a mistake in not asking for the menu because everything was spoken out loud, like in any respectable trattoria. The problem comes later, when the bill arrives. You expect trattoria prices and then pay like a restaurant, so pay attention to this small detail. Otherwise, everything is fine.

We stumbled upon this trattoria on a bike ride. From the outside, it definitely feels like one of those old-fashioned places, where they focus on the essentials and don't waste time chatting. The cuisine is authentic and traditional. The first courses are rigorously freshly made, plentiful, and very good. Prices are truly reasonable. The owner makes the rounds at the end of the service to check if everything was fine, and offers guests a limoncello or amaro liqueur as a thank you. We'll definitely be back to try the winter menu. I recommend the risotto, truly excellent. Don't expect glamour or finesse when you come in; the food is good, the price is low, and you can enjoy the service, the food, and the conversation.

It is a very spartan country restaurant from another era where you can have a peaceful lunch and savour the menus of the past.

A trattoria in the Milan countryside. Just a short walk from the city center, you're immersed in a sublime atmosphere. Excellent dinners... food cooked to order by an excellent trattoria chef. TOP!

Characteristic place in the countryside...excellent food, friendly staff and owners.

We went to this place for lunch on a Saturday. They sat us outside, inside a courtyard, with a plastic roof over it. It looks more like a trattoria than a restaurant. The place looks very shabby. They sat us at a table with chairs recycled from a school (very uncomfortable). There were only us and a couple of workers in the place. There is no written menu, it is communicated verbally by the waitresses who do not speak Italian very well, so it was not easy to make ourselves understood. The menu includes mostly Lombard dishes with no light, healthy or vegetarian options. Even before we ordered, they brought us an appetizer with 6 slices of cold cuts, a few pieces of grilled vegetables with a lot of oil and 3 types of very small fried bread balls. All this without asking if anyone has allergies or food intolerances. When asked for the prices, the waitresses refused to share them saying "trust me". Despite my complaints, since they are required by law to display them, they still did not want to say them. We only had a risotto each, 1/4 of wine and water: €45 each couple. The risotto dishes were plentiful but of medium-low quality. The rice used was of low quality and was not creamed. The waiting times for the dishes were at least 40 minutes for each course. For a Saturday lunch it can also be acceptable. It is not a suitable place for a work lunch break. Overall it is an experience to do but I would not return due to the high prices, non-existent service and low quality given the prices.

A place of the heart! It seems that time has not passed. Arcangelo is always very nice. Simple, homely food. I can always come back! Never change!

I recently had lunch at a lovely restaurant and I have to say it was a fantastic experience. I had the opportunity to taste a donkey sausage, which turned out to be tender and tasty, accompanied by a truly spectacular Milanese risotto. The risotto was creamy and full of flavor, a real comfort food. The restaurant environment is very rustic, with a welcoming and warm atmosphere that makes every meal a special moment. The staff were also exceptional: kind and helpful, they helped make our experience even more pleasant. In conclusion, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious dishes in a charming setting. I can't wait to return!
