La Cantina di Manuela

We had a wonderful time dining at La cantina Di Manuela! We started with aperitivo of wine and the house appetizer and sat outside on the street surrounded by neighborhood locals. It was so fun to see Valentino and his staff interact with all of the usual customers and get a glimpse into the life of living in Milan. All of the staff treated us so warmly and our server was so patient and kind as I attempted to practice Italian. Our server helped us pick the perfect bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to pair with our meal and was very respectful of the price ranges we set. I cannot speak highly enough of the traditional Milanese risotto! After trying several at other restaurants in Milan I can say this was by far the best one we had and the flavors were layered so beautifully!! That alone made the trip to Milan worth it. We finished the meal with a wonderful tiramisu that left me wishing we had ordered two! Well worth the visit and stop!

Dined on 12th Feb- Cozy environment! Amazing food! Service was good! We only ordered 1 Faraonta and 1 Brasto for dinner as we weren't that hungry. The seasoning was to point! I even dipped my bread to wipe up the leftover sauce! It's finger licking! Yum! Definitely recommended!

Amazing in every aspect, the food, the wine and the service were outstanding. The staff new the menue and recommended the prefect wine paring for the meal. Not cheap but definitely worth it. One of the best Milanese risotto in Milan.

This was one of our favorite restaurants on our entire trip to Italy! It is definitely a "neighborhood" restaurant where they treat tourists just as well as the locals! We never thought we would be eating a meal at 10:00 at night, but we are so glad we stopped by! The risotto was amazing, the wine was fantastic, and the service was wonderful! We loved how the servers would stand on old boxes and chairs to bring bottles of wine down from the high shelves! Before we left Milan for a four-hour train ride, we stopped by here to see if they would sell us a bottle of wine for the trip! Not only did they sell it, but they uncorked it and provided cups! They are just the friendliest! I hope we get to come back again someday!

I honestly can't understand the four star rating we had lasagne and agnolotti and t was amazing. The service top notch and the waiter was brilliant speaking English and helping us with our Italian. Just so good!! The picture is all you need to see.

This restaurant is a great find. It's Michelin rated and the food was delicious and the service was excellent.

Where do the chefs eat? Here is one. Fantastic food and wine, right mix of tradition and nouvelle cuisine.

This is the best meal we've had in Europe and we've been here a long time. They know just how to season their meat. We'll be dreaming of this meal for years to come. The menu wasn't in English which tells you they cater to locals not the tourist crowd. The Google translate app steered us in the right direction. So so good!
