Albergo Della Corona

Situated in a rural setting surrounded by rice fields outside Milan, this restaurant specialises in home-made pasta and breads, vegetables grown in its own garden, and Piedmontese meat cooked in traditional fashion over a barbecue grill. Takeaway produce is also available for purchase.

This fascinating restaurant occupying an old house renovated in modern style comes as a surprise given its location in a small village deep in the countryside. Enjoy traditional cuisine reinterpreted in a playful and original way in the well-tended garden, where six exclusive tables provide the perfect setting for an intimate and romantic alfresco dinner.

A splendid example of a country trattoria, which has been delighting its guests with typical dishes from Lombardy for over a century. Meals are served either in the attractive vintage-style dining room or, in fine weather, outdoors under the Virginia creeper and mature wisteria. Truly enchanting!

This skilfully restored 18C farmhouse has all the authentic charm of the Milanese lowland region, with each corner telling a story, from the intimate lounges to the delightful room with a large stone fireplace. There’s also a bright, welcoming veranda-style space which is perfect at any time of year. The menu features an array of meat and fish dishes, including dishes that celebrate Mediterranean cuisine and Milanese traditions alike. The well-stocked wine cellar (which can be visited) will delight wine-enthusiasts thanks to its excellent selection of interesting labels.

An authentic Milanese trattoria in operation since the late 17th century as a post station, while the apartment buildings of Gratosoglio rose up all around it in the 1960s, the interiors still preserve their historic charm. The cuisine fortunately remains faithful to the spirit of the place, offering some Milanese classics, such as mondeghili (meatballs), risotto alla milanese (with or without ossobuco), and the “elephant ear” cutlet.

Housed in a majestic historic farmhouse, this small friendly restaurant boasts intimate dining rooms and attractive “shabby-chic” style furnishings. In summer, the delightful outdoor space in the internal courtyard offers an idyllic setting. Traditional Milanese cuisine is the star of the show here, including specialities such as risotto with roasted bone-marrow, mondeghili meatballs and delicious breaded veal cutlet, also available in an “imperial” version for sharing.
