Consorzio Stoppani

According to the menu, this restaurant serves one of the 5 best cutlets in Milan, and I tend to believe it. The meat of the "cotoletta imbruttita" was very tender and fell right off the bone. The crispy breadcrumb coating was well-seasoned with salt and touches of orange zest, and had the perfect thickness in comparison to the meat. On the downside, the side of baked potatoes was small and too greasy for me, and it's a pity that the plate came without a side salad. We paired with a bottle of red Chianti Classico, which complemented the meat very well.

As first course, we took 2 portions of the risotto zafferano with ossobucco to share among the table. Very generous portion, and the taste of the creamy risotto was incredible.

On the downside, the restaurant was quite packed, and I could hardly get out of my chair to go to the bathroom. The interior was noisy and the waiters dropped food a couple of times, so the atmosphere could have been slightly better.
