Milan is here to surprise you with our food tradition.
Some of the most iconic Italian foods are Milanese.
The most famous is maybe the yellow saffron risotto and all of its variants (try the one with sausage and Bonarda wine, or the asparagus…).
The cotoletta (veal steak) and ossobucco are also a must.
Not to mention seasonal cakes such as panettone and pan dei morti. Milan is also home to some of the greatest Italian chefs, including Marchesi and Cracco.
