Mamma e Papa' — Restaurant in Milan

A surprisingly delightful neighborhood restaurant.

Just a few minutes’ walk from Lotto metro station. The owners—a lovely husband-and-wife duo—are incredibly warm and welcoming: mamma runs the kitchen, papà takes care of the guests.

My friend and I ordered four dishes. The Anelletti, a Sicilian specialty pasta, was a wonderful surprise—this was actually my first time trying it, despite studying in Milan for years as an international student from China. The tuna pasta with paccheri was perfectly balanced, with lemon zest, thyme, and just the right amount of garlic—left with its skin on, as the chef intended. The octopus tentacle with mashed potatoes was the standout dish: the purée was rich and silky, made with butter, potatoes, milk, and cheese. The octopus tentacle itself was impressively large and perfectly cooked—hard to imagine how big it was before preparation! Finally, the meatballs were spot on in both texture and seasoning. The bread served alongside was sourced from a southern Italian baker using natural yeast and hand-kneaded dough—you could really taste the depth of the grains.

They also use certified organic D.O.P. olive oil from the Valle del Belìce in Sicily.

Highly...

A Hidden Gem of Milano! This little Italian restaurant has everything you could wish for. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, friendly, and welcoming service that immediately makes you feel at home. The cozy Italian ambiance, paired with great music, sets the perfect mood for a relaxed and enjoyable meal.

The food is simply outstanding. I had the best lasagna and tiramisu I’ve ever tasted—authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The cutlet was perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned to perfection. And the best part? The prices are more than fair for the quality you get.

It’s the perfect place to eat—whether you’re craving classic Italian dishes or just looking for a charming spot to enjoy a great meal. Highly...
