Fratelli la Bufala

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 06:00:29 +0000

This restaurant/pizzeria should have been added months ago as it is a great pizzeria in the city- because the pizza is good, there is a lot more on the menu from pasta to steaks to order and the ambiance is fun and lively. Fratelli la Bufala has locations all around Italy from Napoli to Ravenna, and here in Milano there are fourlocations, all a little different in size but all fantastic in food and ambiance.

The pizza menu is expansive and they have a lot to choose from. They are a little heavy though, as are all the portion sizes. From the salad appetizers to the steaks, the food comes out of the oven in large portions- atypical in Italy, so it is very easy to over order here.

It is a perfect place for an easy dinner but fun and pleasant.

Piccola Pizzeria Ischia

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:00:00 +0000

This little pizzeria ristorante is so cute you will think you are actually on the island when you are inside. Serving Neapolitan pizza in three sizes- small that suits children, medium for yourself only and large that you can share. In addition to pizza, you can order typical dishes from from down south- like zucchini flowers.

The food is delicious and the ambiance of the restaurant is so authentically Italian. Three locations in Milan, so make sure you check out one or them all.

Rossopomodoro

Although there are locations all over the world, concentrated in Italy, you would think eating at Rossopomodoro that you have discovered something amazing. The pizza speaks for itself because it’s amazingly good. But the Rossopomodoro is not just a pizzeria. From salads to pastas to everything Italian, this is a place that must be on your favorite list.

Rossopomodoro is part of the Sebeto group that also owns restaurants in Italy such as Anema e Cozze, and you will quickly see similarity because the pizza at both chains are virtually the same in taste.

A product of Napoli, Rossopomodoro uses the freshest ingredients and the amazing tastes of down south. There are locations all over Milan- make sure to stop by one afternoon or night!

Anema e Cozze Ristorante

admin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 06:20:00 +0000

There are so many Italian Restaurants to choose from in Milano and so many pizzerias that it may be overwhelming to know where to begin. Anema e Cozze is delicious, it’s not expensive and the atmosphere is fun and lively. The restaurant is a member of the Gruppo Sebeto which also owns Rossopomodoro Pizzerias from Napoli, but don’t let multiple locations stop you from thinking the food is not authentic.

Anema e Cozze aims to redevelop the traditional pizzeria to combine “the two tracks of Parthenopean cuisine: pizza and the sea, blue fish, mussels and clams” Their goal is achieved in this restaurant. The pizza is fantastic- some of the best in the city. But so are the pasta and seafood dishes, so it’s hard to decide on what to order.

There are four locations in Milano, and are all very busy but because of the light Mediterranean interior, it’s such a pleasant restaurant to be in. The staff are either from Napoli themselves, or extremely friendly by nature and will take good care of you

So be it, it’s a chain, but the service combined with awesome food and cheap prices make it a must go. What more could you want for a dinner restaurant?!

Officina 12

admin — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:00:00 +0000

For an Italian restaurant on the Navigli that is consistently good, you must try Officina 12. The red awning is inviting but once you walk inside you know it won’t disappoint. The aperitivo may not be very crowded, but the bar area is really pleasant, so perhaps try to arrive a little early for a pre dinner drink. The ceiling extends to a seemingly eternity stopped by skylights which make the bar area light and open. But even better, the bar tenders are friendly and accommodating. It’s all in all a good time.

The menu is typical Italian fare, with simple food prepared well. The menu is extensive in options and everything from their salads to their pastas, meat dishes and pizzas are really good. Essentially, you can’t order wrong.
Built in a former factory, the space is huge and in the summer months they open up the outside seating area in the front and also have a back garden. There are a few different rooms inside, but the lighting is just right, so in a way you feel l like you are in an intimate dinner, but in another way, you feel like you are in a lively atmosphere with of course, the standard well dressed, beautiful people of Milan.

So if you are trying to pick a restaurant for the night, Officina 12 is good stable option. But no matter how many tables there are, the restaurant is always busy so make a reservation, because pleading with the maître D is a lost cause.
