"Canal-side Dining A pleasant way to spend an evening in Milan is to stroll along the Naviglio Grande, a 12th century canal in the south of town. The warehouses along the towpath are now home to lively restaurants and bars. I recommend El Brellin. The second floor restaurant offers refined modern Italian fare with ambiance to match and the bar below gets busy on the weekends."

Such a lovely spot right by the canal! The atmosphere is warm and charming, perfect for a relaxed meal. The food was amazing-classic Milanese flavors done right-and the service made us feel so welcome. It’s the kind of place you want to come back to, just to soak it all in again. Thank you for the warm welcome 🙏🏻❤️

If you're lucky enough to grab a reservation at El Brellin, you'll be better for it. A recommendation from our hotel saw us squeezed in for a dinner service and what a beautiful meal. The service and food was fantastic and traditionally Milanese. The history and photos on the wall is worth reading and really interesting. The dessert special of Panettone with marscapone cream was incredible. We had a brilliant night and highly recommend you come with an appetite and enjoy the vibe.

Friends and I came here on a recommendation to try the ossobuco. I'm vegetarian so I got the raviolo, which was one of the few vegetarian-friendly options, but it was quite yummy (albeit not very hot by the time they brought it out...). My friends enjoyed their ossobuco, but less than they hoped to given the recommendations. The saffron risotto that came with it was a bit bland. For dessert we shared the tiramisu, which it looks like is now different from past reviews. It was alright, one of the worse tiramisus we've had in Italy. The mascarpone was sort of pudding-y, and not in a good way. Service was fine, somewhat aloof. Overall a decent dining experience but nothing to write home about.

A nice and historical restaurant in the Navigli area of the city, which is among the most busy for both locals and tourists, mostly young people. This place is somewhat superior to the average, as it brings its tradition and a long time presence at its location. The food is good, mostly traditional Milanese dishes, but with some variations as well. Good wine choice, nice service, pleasant ambiance, preserving the old time's atmosphere. Nice location, just besides the Naviglio Grande.

If you’re looking for traditional dishes of Milano, do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant. Our experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived until we left, we felt welcomed and pampered by the food and service. The food is absolutely amazing, everything we tasted melted in our mouth. Probably the best meal we had in Milan. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Navigli.

A wonderful experience! I had previously visited during the summer for a drink, and this time I went for dinner. It met all my expectations. The service was outstanding, and the dishes were absolutely delicious.

Came here for dinner on our first night in Milan as our hotel recommended this restaurant for dinner as it was by the Navigli River. The restaurant is very big and was filled with a mix of locals and tourists. We ordered a few starters although did not really like the lentil soup. For mains, we got the fish which I liked the most, the veal which was cooked to perfection and the gnocchi which I also really enjoyed. The staff were friendly and service was good. It was a nice first meal here in Milan.

The food is okay. Nothing spectacular and not sure what’s the hype is about. The ambience is great tho. Service was so so, we felt rushed. The bread was lacking and overall I’d say, pass
