Osteria del Treno

"Featured on "Searching for Italy" by Stanley Tucci, who describes Osteria del Treno as embodying "the history and spirit of Milan like almost nowhere else." From their website: "We offer a modern and light Milanese and Lombard cuisine, attentive to known and lesser known traditional recipes, through the scrupulous choice of raw materials, the quality of the ingredients, the origin, the freshness and the seasonality. The menu changes with the seasons, the wine list is extensive and full of surprises, with particular attention to the value for money and the selection of wines by the glass. We are among the promoters of the Alliance between Chefs, farmers, breeders, small artisans, linked and respectful of the territory, well represented by the Earth Market and the Slow Food Presidia. Small agricultural producers chosen with care allow us to express a cuisine of tradition and at the same time current, dishes with attention to execution and precise taste." Recommended dishes: - "lingua in salsa verde" - cow tongue with parsley and anchovy sauce; - "zuppa di ceci" - chickpea soup; - "ossobuco alla milanese con risotto giallo" - roast beef hind shank with saffron risotto; - "lumache in umido alla lombarda" - stewed snails Lombard style; - "pollo al forno" - roast chicken.
