20/01/2026: Historic, elegant, and interesting restaurant with multiple rooms on two levels. Friendly and welcoming owners. Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent service.

19/01/2026: Outstanding quality food. Friendly and efficient service. Perfect for a relaxing moment.

16/01/2026: We were in Milan for the Procession of the Magi on January 6th and were looking for a place to have lunch in the Navigli area. The name of this osteria intrigued us, and we couldn't have made a better choice! Entering feels like stepping back in time. This small restaurant exudes the atmosphere (and the aromas of cooking) of old Milan. The atmosphere is homey, without unnecessary frills, making you feel right at home. I loved the set of dishes from Grandma's kitchen 😍😍 The menu features popular classics; we had fried brains, risotto with ossobuco, sautéed rice with luganega ragù and peas, and a pear and taleggio risotto—all EXCELLENT! What more can I say... I felt like I was at Grandma's house, having Sunday lunch, with the whole family, cheerful and boisterous. I hope it maintains this spirit over time and doesn't let trends change.

14/01/2026: Excellent Osteria on Milan's Navigli. The cassoeula is amazing.

28/11/2025: A beautiful and intimate find just outside the Navigli area of ​​Milan. Relaxed atmosphere, limited seating, and a welcoming atmosphere unlike anything you've come to expect. Excellent value for money for Milan. Highly recommended, I'll be back!

22/11/2025: Very good and nice little place, good service. Nothing to say.

01/01/2026: Business lunch with a group of clients. Everything was perfect.

28/12/2025: Too pretentious and overpriced. Six of us were asked to order no more than three different starters.

19/01/2026: The cutlet is passable, but it's not a true Milanese; they serve it thick and rare, or pounded until it's too thin, and definitely not fried in butter. The saffron risotto is the worst I've had in Milan. The place is too crowded and touristy. The prices are in line with Milan, but not with the quality of the food. The €3 gas charge is absurd: I've never experienced anything like it. I wouldn't go back and I don't recommend it.

16/01/2026: Exceptional experience with international customers. Superb quality in all dishes. Excellent service. Prices in line with the current market.

24/12/2025: Excellent Chinese restaurant, but reasonably priced. Service isn't exceptional, especially considering the location of the rooms. Extremely uncomfortable chairs.

23/12/2025: Great experience, a friend brought us there. Thank you! What can I say: Everything was great. The atmosphere was warm and traditional, yet elegant. The Cassoeula was great! We had a wonderful time.

03/01/2026: For us, Testina has now become a tradition.

28/12/2025: This restaurant is beautiful, the quality of the food and the presentation are excellent, the choice of wines is excellent, we often ask for advice on the dishes of the day.

29/12/2025: Excellent food, very nice vintage-style wooden place, but too noisy to talk... a real shame considering the excellent dishes!

14/12/2025: I've been there for dinner five or six times already... it's become my favorite restaurant ❤️... the atmosphere is impeccably clean and well-kept (that's not a given these days). The appetizers are excellent, with something for everyone. There's a corner of the restaurant where a "salumiere" prepares and slices the cured meats and raspadüra on the spot. This preparation ensures the dish is the best you could wish for. The meat-based main courses, for those like me who still love good beef, are truly worth trying: ribs, fillet, etc., served with vegetables and homemade sauces. A special mention goes to the porcini mushrooms, enjoyed fresh. They are sublime. The desserts, always homemade, are varied and all delicious for those with a true sweet tooth. (I can't recommend the first courses only because I've never tried them. At the restaurant, I prefer the second courses.) Wide selection of wines.

02/02/2026: A really, really good place. We ate in the basement, which is like a wine cellar. It was quiet, the service was impeccable, and the waiters were attentive to our needs at all times. They were incredibly helpful and helpful. All the staff were very accommodating. The food was very good, different, with Milanese influences. Highly recommended!

01/02/2026: We visited Trattoria Nuovo Macello and had a very enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is classic and authentic, exactly what you expect from a traditional Milanese trattoria: warm, welcoming, and relaxed. We had the cotoletta, which was excellent, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Portions were generous and the food felt honest and true to Milanese tradition, without unnecessary twists. Service was friendly, attentive, and professional, with a relaxed pace that allowed us to enjoy the meal comfortably. A great choice in Milan if you’re looking for authentic local cuisine in a genuine, no-nonsense setting. Highly recommended.

12/01/2026: Excellent food, very kind staff.

07/01/2026: Had an amazing meal here! Both the crab and shrimp pasta and the shrimp and squid pasta was really good! Tomato sauce was not overpowering and you could taste the crab flavour infused into the pasta. Friendly and nice restaurant with a really warm ambience. Good service! On a side note, the bread that was served at the start was the best we had in Italy!

30/12/2025: Drawn by the chef's cute videos, I rushed to City Life for the first time in my life for lunch at Ratanà. Parking isn't registered on Gmaps. The atmosphere is nice, nothing special; the City Life location seems cold to me. I had a truffle risotto, €80, and they didn't cut and weigh it at the table. It might be my fault for not usually looking at prices, but if I had seen it, I would have avoided it. Decent flavor, even too bland for me. Nothing exceptional. Then the mushroom skewer on mashed potatoes, a canteen dish, failed. Total €110, and they didn't serve coffee. The staff seemed average. I wanted a bitter, but the selection at the bar seemed poor. I won't go back, and yet it's always sold out.

30/12/2025: I've been following Cesare Battisti for a while; his cuisine intrigued me, and I wanted to try it for lunch. Expectations were very high, and... they weren't disappointed. Congratulations to everyone. More than a brigade, it was an army of attentive and harmonious young people... and then the food, speechless. Excellent products, expertly cooked and presented. The only drawback... I don't eat meat, and I would have expected more choice. Parking... A slap in the face to whoever wrote "difficulties," etc. There are two different parking lots 50 meters away, of course, paid, but that's the case everywhere in Milan. Let's hope for the next administration, but that has nothing to do with this... All things considered, it was a positive experience and definitely worth trying. Well done everyone.

16/01/2026: Excellent friendliness, helpfulness, and organization. Quality food, a bit noisy.

06/01/2026: A wonderful experience in this restaurant where I was able to taste typical Milanese food of excellent quality at a great price. Very friendly owners and very knowledgeable waiters. Truly congratulations.

26/12/2025: Very characteristic location, impeccable menu

21/12/2025: We went for dinner last night. Everything was impeccably prepared and the food was delicious. The table service, especially from the maître d', was remarkable. We'll definitely be back and I recommend it to anyone who wants to eat excellent Milanese food in a very beautiful part of Milan. Even though it's a touristy area, I wouldn't call this restaurant "for tourists" at all (unfortunately, this happens in certain parts of the city, but that's not the case at Vecchia Lira, where the food and atmosphere are authentic).

04/12/2025: Fixed lunch menu for workers under €15. À la carte dinner with typical specialties. Friendliness, hospitality, and professionalism. Honorable mention goes to Elena, with her unique empathy and mastery of her craft; Michel, resolute, fast, and kind; Christian knows, just listen to him and you're in good hands; Always compliments to the kitchen, which occasionally lets out a shout, I love it, all folklore. Thanks guys.

01/12/2025: Excellent service and food. Risotto and ossobuco, a sublime dish.

07/01/2026: The risotto alla milanese was very dry and bland, the rest was average. The staff was very friendly.

06/01/2026: We ate there for lunch. The food was delicious and the portions generous. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the owner and staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.
