Milanese Food

Amazing. Truly Amazing.

When traveling to different countries, I found myself wanting to try the traditional food of the city/country in each place. Thus, I’m making this quick and easy post about classic Milanese food/drinks.

  • Breakfast: cappuccino and brioche

    • Breakfast in Italy is fast. Good luck trying to find pancakes anywhere in Milan unless you’re seeking a restaurant that cooks American brunch on Sundays.

  • Lunch: cotoletta, prosciutto, or mortadello panino. pizza.

    • cotoletta is a classic type of thinly cut/pounded and breaded/fried chicken that goes into a sandwhich with mayo, lettuce, and tomato usually.

  • Dinner: Pasta, Risotto, also Pizza.

    • If you opt for for the pasta, I highly recommend a dish with burrata on top. I fell in love with burrata cheese. Miscusi and Maravea were my favorite places.

  • Regional Alcoholic Drink: Negroni or Aperol Spritz

    • If you’re planning on drinking, you must go to an aperitivo restaurant/bar. I love aperitivos in general. Love the concept, love the drinks. My favorites in Milan were the following places near Bocconi/Navigli:

      • The Doping Club

      • Ugo:

      • Rita & Cocktails

      • Mag Cafe

      • Long Island

      • Il Fortino

  • Dessert: gelato or tiramisu.

    • In the Bocconi/Navigli area, I highly recommend going to La Gelateria Romana. They have crepes!!
