Milan is packed with restaurants that serve a wide variety of world cuisines. Like all Italian cities, it has its own culinary traditions, and thanks to recent waves of immigration, the range of ethnic restaurants has increased enormously.
Porta Venezia has a strong African presence and features numerous Eritrean, Ethiopian, Lebanese and Egyptian eateries. Paolo Sarpi Street (Chinatown) is home to many traditional Chinese restaurants, while Via Padova is known for its little South American bistros. In the Navigli area there are a handful of trattorias where you can taste traditional Milanese dishes, the most famous one being “risotto alla Milanese” (creamy saffron risotto). Another typical local dish is "cassoeula" (a rich pork and cabbage stew).

I recently heard on the radio that the New York branch of Eataly is the third most visited place in the city after the Statue of Liberty and the Guggenheim Museum. Whether this is true or not, Eataly is definitely the best place in Milan for lovers of good food.

Located near Bocconi University, this bar and restaurant attracts a mixed crowd of students and local workers (the average age is around 30 years). It has very nice interiors, it’s a good spot for a drink and there’s a free buffet. If you’re still hungry, you can eat at the restaurant although it’s a bit expensive.

It is an institution in the area of Porta Romana. The quality of the food is quite high for the price you pay for the lunch menu. In fact, at dinner time the restaurant has much higher prices. Are you into wine? You will love to match your lunch with their house wine which that comes for free with the lunch menu.

The best offer in the area for a quick meal, cheap and filling this is best than any fast food chain. Also this is one of the only few places in Milan still making pizza in this traditional way, imported from South Italy more than 60 years ago.

Locals love Triennale as it offers interesting exhibitions (for instance in 2013 I attended a Jean-Michel Basquiat show) and houses a permanent design museum on the first floor. We also love it because it’s located in Sempione Park. It's always nice to take a relaxing walk in the park after visiting Triennale.

As stated on the website: "The pleasure of eating should be an extensive pleasure, not that of the mere gourmet. People who know the garden in which their vegetables have grown and know that the garden is healthy will remember the beauty of the growing plants too. Such a memory involves itself with the food and is one of the pleasures of eating."

If you dont have the time to travel to Napoli and have the real pizza napoletana, this place is for you to try. You might have to wait an hour in order to get in, but it is worth the wait. They will take your name by the door and offer you a panini and sparkling wine while you're waiting.

The place has become so popular that the owners have decided to open two more places in the city center; during the summer you'll probably find a 10/15 minutes queue but it is worth to wait even under your umbrella.
