€€€Italian Contemporary, Seafood
This old monastery in Moirago, overlooking the Naviglio Pavese canal, was founded in 1250 and converted into an inn as early as 1478. Centuries may have passed, but the tradition of hospitality continues in the building’s enclosed painted portico, as well as in its two warm and atmospheric dining rooms. The chef’s Puglian origins explain the abundant use of vegetables and raw fish dishes, while in winter the cuisine takes on a more northern Italian flavour. Good selection of wines by the glass.

Antica Osteria Moirago in Rozzano serves contemporary Italian cuisine with a focus on seafood. Food quality receives mixed reviews; while some praise the fresh ingredients and refined preparations like scallops and tuna, others find flavors lacking. The ambiance is described as elegant and romantic, though some note an excess of decorative elements. Service varies significantly, ranging from attentive and warm to rude. Although the menu changes seasonally, consistency remains an issue. The restaurant offers a distinct dining experience but requires careful consideration regarding service reliability and value perception.

€€Milanese, Lombardian
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.

Antica Osteria il Ronchettino is known for traditional Milanese cuisine, with many praising its romantic atmosphere, warm service, and authentic dishes like risotto and ossobuco. However, negative reviews highlight issues such as heavy or indigestible cutlets, rushed or inexperienced service, and poor value for money due to small portions and high prices. While the setting is elegant and appealing for couples, some diners found the experience inconsistent. Overall, it suits those seeking genuine local flavors and a pleasant ambiance, but visitors should manage expectations regarding portion sizes, dish consistency, and cost-effectiveness.

€€€Modern Cuisine, Creative
An old, carefully restored road worker’s house on the Alzaia Naviglio Pavese canal is the setting for this modern, stylish restaurant where Alessandra and Matteo welcome guests in a graceful, elegant and yet informal manner. The menu features contemporary meat and fish dishes accompanied by a good choice of wines. If you’re curious about the restaurant’s name, ask the owners for an explanation: could it be something to do with the private dining room perhaps?
