Maia Bistrot Ristorante Caffetteria — Restaurant in Milan

A Hidden Gem Near the Duomo

This charming restaurant, tucked away on a quiet street near the Duomo, is an absolute gem! Being slightly off the beaten path means it’s wonderfully peaceful and not crowded, offering a relaxing dining experience right in the heart of the city.

We tried the risotto, cutlet, and tortiglioni, and every dish was a delight. The risotto, in particular, was outstanding – perfectly creamy and bursting with flavor. To end the meal, we indulged in their tiramisu, which was a true highlight. While the portion wasn’t huge, the taste was phenomenal, and I highly recommend trying it.

Without a doubt, it’s my top choice whenever I'm in the...
