Osteria del Treno

Excellent place to try authentic Milanese food. Although I'm not a big fan of risotto, this one was just incredible!!! Tortelli with braised beef were fantastic as well as slow cooked veal.

A truly excellent dinner out. We specifically made reservations here due to hearing that they had the best Risotto Milanese con Ossobuca. Getting reservations was a small challenge, but it was well worth it. Being our last big meal in Italy before we left, we wanted to make it a good one. We when we arrived the simple nature of the place greets you with the warmth of a home. We were promptly seated in a smaller dining room just beyond the front room containing the bar and what seemed like a main dining room. The five tables in the area gave enough background chatter that our conversation was our own. Our waiter was superb. Josh was absolutely on it all night, meticulously taking care of us, explaining the menu and keeping the table spotless the entire evening. We were never want for anything and he seemed to arrive just when we needed him. His wine recommendations to start the meal were excellent. We started with polpette made from veal, breaded and fried to a perfect crispness accompanied with a puttanesca. Accompanying that, we enjoyed a small plate of prosciutto, salume, and capicola. I had the Risotto Milanese as a primo with the braised beef as my secondo. My wife had the Roasted capon which was stuffed with plum, apple, greens, and chicken liver. Our friends had the capon and Risotto Milanese con Ossobuca. To finish the meal, Josh suggested a pistaccio and peperoncini gelato. Skeptical, I ordered one and asked for four small spoons. Wow, what a great, and unique, flavor combination. The serving that we ordered did not last long. A great meal finished off with a caffe and a local amaro put us in the right gastronomic spot for a nice walk back to our apartment. Josh made the meal an awesome experience, and it would have only been a great meal without him. If you are in the area, make reservations, enjoy some of the best Osteria food in the area, and request his services for your table.

The service, food and atmosphere here were all impeccable. We were looking for a high-end authentic Milanese restaurant that wasn't overly pretentious, and that's exactly what we found. We started with Milanese meatballs, then had the Milanese risotto with bone marrow and tortelli with braised beef. Dessert was chilli and pistachio gelato and mascarpone with corn. The waiting staff were incredibly friendly and helpful in advising on wines and menu choices etc. Highly recommended.

We came here as a family on our last night in Milan, and it was an amazing experience. This was the best food we had in the city by far and our server was also really great. We tried a bunch of courses and not one was less than wonderful. Make a reservation because the tables fill up quickly!

Great space, food and team. Dining room is located downstairs and the entrance isn’t super noticeable or easy to find via GPS. Staff was very welcoming, dishes are reasonably priced and everything tasted great. Speaking with the local ladies dining next to us who got the lunch special they said it was such a deal! I had the porcini pasta with shaved white truffles on top which was quite memorable. Will be back for sure!

Tasty choices and a good experiences. Plates were full, but felt slightly short of umami. Would definitely recommend as there were more option that we don’t have enough room in the stomach for. Service was accommodating, fast and friendly. We saw more locals inside then tourist, which is a good sign.

Outstanding bistro recommended by Stanley Tucci. Cozy and inviting. If you drive, parking is a nightmare.

Great place to taste traditional Milanese dishes.
