Agriturismo Le Risaie

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.

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?

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.

Situated on the Naviglio away from Milan’s bustling nightlife, this rustic-style restaurant is decorated with a profusion of wood. As the name suggests, fish and seafood take pride of place on the menu, with a good choice of antipasti to whet the appetite, as well as inviting trays of raw fish dishes (shared by the whole table), followed by delicious traditional pasta and grilled options.
