Osteria del Gnocco Fritto — Restaurant in Milan

May 15th, 2023 for Diner. In "Osteria del Gnocco Fritto", time has stopped to preserve a traditional dish for which the location is named after. The Gnocco Fritto is served with all sorts of italian meet and cheese, with delicious marmelade. The gnocco is served in "unlimited" quantity, they will even bring you hot ones to replace the ones that have gotten cold in your basket. We got offered a doggy bag to avoid throwing the great food. Then, as part of the menu, you are supposed to eat again. I say supposed because I was so full I could not even finish a small desert... The person with me however took one of the homemade pasta dish. It was so good she used a gnocco fritto to pick up all the sauce from the plate.

Special thanks to the very dynamic lady we had as our waitress. Your smile, enthusiasm and advices were appreciated.

All in all, I'm left with a lot of regrets from this place. Tired from the day, I did not order wine, which would have been fantastic with the food. Secondly, I'm too small of a eater and did not try a pasta dish. Lastly, we completely forgot to tip for the wonderful service... I will definitely try to come again someday and remedy that. Please...

I had dinner with a few colleagues at this restaurant during a work trip. We had booked ahead of time as we were a large group. The service was friendly and efficient and they used Google translate to clarify things for us. The restaurant was clean and old school and rather calm, given the touristy location, which was definitely a bonus for us. We ordered from the set menus (vegetarian, historic, …). The selections were great, and they accommodated our dietary restrictions / dislikes, and swapped items in the set menus. There was no seafood served. The cheese selection was brilliant - I loved the Gorgonzola and goat cheese. Lots of hard cheese options too. The gnocco fritto basket was changed with warm servings regularly. The main pasta servings were rather small. And each platter served 2-3 people rather than each person being given their only individual pasta plate. They did of course give us serving plates. Lots of dessert options. The tiramisu was huge and super delicious. The chocolate ice cream was indulgent. This restaurant was a...

Turists, beware. Owner is a rude man and does not like turists. I called twice. Wanted to eat there because of the google evaluations. The first time, I asked to make a reservation and the guy cutted me off after I asked the time that was available. Since it had 23h30m on google for closing time, I did not worry. Second time, this guy passed me over to someone that seemed to speak better english, and he said to me that I should get until 22h30m, besides the information on google. We used google maps and the train got late (dont know the reason). We runned in the rain to get as soon as possible, but as de got there before 23h they said they would not attend us. The first italian to attend the phone was really rude and it was our last day in milan . If you are a turist, do not go there. They are not ready for turists. If the onwer had told us the first time about the reservations hours, that dont match the google information, it wouldn't...
