Milan Handmade Pasta 🍝 | The Brera Queue King 👑

At the locally famous Osteria Da Fortunata - Brera, known for its handmade pasta, I arrived at 1:30 PM, and it was still packed with people. 😮 Who would've thought you’d need to wait in line for pasta? You can even watch the Italian ladies making the fresh pasta right in the window! 🍝👩‍🍳 Recommended Dish: Carbonara 🍳 How could you come to Italy without trying Carbonara? This restaurant serves their Carbonara with slightly thicker long pasta, paired with Pecorino 🧀 and Parmigiano cheese (traditional Carbonara uses only cheese, no cream, to give it that creamy flavor), plus pork neck and egg. The cheese adds a rich, salty flavor, and since they don’t use much oil, the dish is flavorful but not too greasy. The handmade pasta here is a little firm but pleasantly chewy. The crispy pork neck pieces are salty, almost like fried bacon 🥓—I recommend mixing them into the pasta for balance. The grated cheese, black pepper, and salt sprinkled on top should also be mixed in for an even, less overpowering flavor. 😋 The pasta costs €18 💶 + €3 💶 seating fee, a bit pricier than other places, but hey—it’s handmade! 🌍 Google: 4.1 rating, with 3500+ reviews 💰 Price per person: €20-30 #RestaurantRecommendation #WeeklyFoodieFind #Pasta #ItalianCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurant
