Trattoria Fà Ballà L'Oeucc — Restaurant in Milan

I was fortunate that this restaurant was my first, after arriving in Italy for the first time! The staff was so friendly and helpful. I arrived at about 6:30 pm and was told that the entire restaurant was reserved at 8:00. But after talking with them, I was able to convince them that I would not stay beyond 8:00. A few other small parties arrived after me, and were able to negotiate the same arrangement.

And what delicious food! I started with a bottle of wine that, based on its quality would have cost two or three times as much at a US restaurant. The tagliere was sumptuous, with a pumpkin flan that was sublime. Braised beef with polenta followed as the secondi, and I was immersed in northern Italy. Finally, a cheese plate to aid in the completion of the wine.

By the time the large party showed up, they did not occupy the entire restaurant, after all, and the staff were very happy to have us stay until we were finished. Ludovica was bright and attentive with her service (and her fluent English was an added bonus).

My first Milanese restaurant was delightful, but there were many others to come during my culinary adventure. Thank you Trattoria Fà Ballà L'Oeucc, with fond...

I am french and was on a solo trip in north italy. I spent two nights at the san siro hotel nearby the trattoria and found the restaurant by using the explore what's nearby feature on google maps. I didnt have any ideas expectations, it seemed good. What a wonderful surprise to find that the waiter spoke french (and quite good). I took a beer and he offered me advice on what i should order. I wanted something from the region, it told me about the risotto ossobuco di viletti and it was exquisite. I asked about desserts and he told me honestly there was one homemade and others commercial, i took the homemade which was a really good tiramisu. Before the dessert he offered me some fried polenta with cheese (i didnt order for it) and a liquor after the dessert (i didnt order for it as well). Overall, I spent a wonderful dinner. It made my day. I...

Premesso che voglio essere totalmente onesto, sincero e trasparente.. ma tutti quelli che dicono "trattoria d'altri tempi" ma cosa fumano? Era senz'altro un'ottima trattoria pre covid, autentica e genuina. Oggi si può dire tutto meno che sia una trattoria. Di fà ballà l'oeucc c'è proprio poco.... Eravamo in 3, abbiamo preso un antipasto del territorio (che è per 2 persone) e una lingua in salsa verde. L'antipasto del territorio costa 20€ ma posso assolutamente garantire che non si è mangiato per 10€ a testa. Ci fosse almeno 1 pezzo per persona.. boh vabbeh. Poi abbiamo preso 2 risotti (un giallo normale e uno con pere, radicchio e fonduta di taleggio); entrambi arrivati freddi... il mio era anche poco salato e una zuppa di cipolle. Segnalo che non l'ho finito tutto e alla domanda della cameriera se tutto fosse andato bene, ovviamente l'ho fatto notare. Per finire prendiamo una oreggia classica da dividere come assaggio, niente male, ma nulla di indimenticabile. Abbiamo preso un rosso Sforzesco, che era buono e un'acqua frizzante. Ma mi chiedo, una trattoria che non abbia vino sfuso? :/ Niente dolci e niente caffè. Andiamo in cassa per pagare e la proprietaria chiede se era andato tutto bene, anche lì faccio notare cosa non fosse andato, penso che quantomeno poteva offrire almeno l'amaro ma niente. Non importa, ma di certo non è una trattoria che tiene d'occhio le cose con attenzione (come si suol dire in dialetto milanese fà ballà l'oeucc). Mi dispiace.. ma priorio no. I prezzi sono anche "buoni" ma le quantità per niente.. Non mi sento di consigliarvelo se cercate un milanese veramente buono. Ripeto : lo era.....
