featured in Restaurants Updated 16 May 2018

A perfect place to sample Lombardy traditional fare, in fine surroundings, particularly the risotto or polenta. It has a well laid out, wood-panelled interior which oozes tradition.

Named "della Pesa" ('of the weight') because it is located on the spot where, in the 19th century, goods that arrived from out of town were weighed for excise duty. Open since 1880, it has continued the ancient Milanese-Lombardy culinary tradition to this day.

Even the decor is authentically Milanese with majolica tiled stove, terrazzo floor and wood panelling. Specialities include risotto al salto, ossobuco with risotto alla Milanese and hot zabaglione.

Open every day except Sunday from 12:30 to 14:30 and from 19:30 to 23:00. Booking is strongly recommended.
