Locanda del Menarost — Restaurant in Milan

We found this restaurant because it was our first time in Milan and wanted some traditional dishes, but somewhere close to where we were staying. We made reservations for 7:30pm, when they opened. As North American tourists, we were the first to arrive. The smell coming from the kitchen was already amazing and in no time the place was packed with locals. The service was top notch and we were (apologetically) told that they only had menus in Italian, but if we needed help, she would do the best she could with what English she knew. We assured the server that we’d make due and went for it. We ordered the ossobuco Milanese and the cotoletta, plus a recommended bottle of wine, based on our meal choices.

The meals were huge and well priced. The music was fun and not too loud that we couldn’t talk. I can’t recommend this place enough. Well out of the tourist areas. This is food...

My family and I came here after a tiring day and a tiring trip- our last meal in Italy - and couldn’t have made a better choice. We speak no Italian and could only pick out a few words of the Italian-only menu. The staff were wonderfully accommodating and friendly, helping us make some delicious choices for our meal. The food was delicious - we had a risotto with pumpkin, a steak, and a truffle pasta with asparagus, and an excellent reasonably priced bottle of wine suggested for us. The service was excellent, with everyone on the staff friendly and welcoming. Highly...

Delicious!! Fair sized portions, delicious flavours, wonderful service and reasonably priced for the quality of the food. The house wine was also great, as were the three desserts we ordered (tiramisu, baked peaches ans fig and sheep's cheese). The osso buco, risotto gialla alla Milanese and the cotoletta, all of it was amazing! We were only passing through Milan, but if we were to visit the city again, we would pay this restaurant another visit....
