Milan High-End Restaurants

    • Fodor's Review WARNING: Pop-ups: "The dining room is done in an elegant style that favors cool earth tones. Specialties include Milanese classics revisited -- Cracco's take on saffron risotto and breaded veal cutlet should not be missed."
  • Al Pont de Ferr Pan-Italian, Phone: 02-8940-6277 Google Map
    • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "This is one of the more culinarily respectable of the dozens of restaurants around the Navigli, with tables set out on the flagstones overlooking the canal (regulars know to bring tiny cans of bug spray to battle the mosquitoes in summer)."

Milan Moderate Restaurants

  • Latteria Milanese, Phone: 02-659-7653 Google Map
    • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The menu changes daily, and the friendly staff, including owners Arturo and Maria, won't mind explaining the different dishes. The place is tiny, and doesn't take bookings..."
  • Da Abele WARNING: Pop-ups Italian, Phone: 02-261-3855 Google Map
    • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "This plain trattoria caters to local residents (hence its evening-only hours -- they schedule reservations only before 8:30pm; afterward it's first-come, first-served)... "
  • La Milanese Milanese, Phone: 02-511-8695 Google Map
    • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "In the three-beamed dining room, Milanese families and other patrons share the long, crowded tables. Giuseppe, in the kitchen, prepares what many patrons consider to be some of the city's best traditional fare."
  • Al Donizetti WARNING: Pop-ups Italian Phone: 035-242661 Google Map
    • Fodor's Choice WARNING: Pop-ups: "Find a table in the back of this central, cheerful enoteca (wine bar) before choosing local hams and cheeses to accompany your wine (more than 800 bottles are available, many by the glass)."

Milan Affordable Restaurants

  • Pizzeria Grand'Italia Pizza, Phone: 02-877-759 Google Map
    • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "One of Milan's most popular pizzerias, Grand'Italia serves up a huge assortment of salads, pizzas, homemade pastas, and focacce farcite (focaccia bread stuffed with cheese, mushrooms, and other fillings), along with wine and oil from the Furfaro family's farm in Tuscany."
  • Luini Panzerotti Fast Food, Phone: 02-8646-1917 Google Map
    • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "A Milan institution since 1948, it's so good they've even opened a branch in London. At this stand-up counter near the Galleria, you'll have to elbow your way through a throng of well-dressed patrons..."
  • La Crêperie Fast Food, Phone: 02-839-5913 Google Map
    • Frommer's Recommended: "About a 10-minute walk southeast of Piazza Duomo, this busy creperie is an ideal stop for a light lunch or a snack while visiting the nearby church of Sant'Ambrogio or Museo Nazionale di Scienza e di Tecnica."

Milan Vegetarian Restaurants

  • Happy Cow Listings
  • Joia Phone: 02-204-9244 Google Map
    • Concierge.com Recommendation WARNING: Pop-ups: "Vegetarian restaurants are thin on the ground in Milan; gourmet vegetarian restaurants are a rarity anywhere. So hats off to Swiss-born chef Pietro Leeman, whose creative way with greenery—and some fish—places this elegant establishment a million miles away from your average San Francisco–style macrobiotic café."
    • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Milanese, who tend to be carnivorous, have embraced this refined vegetarian restaurant just north of the public gardens with great enthusiasm."
