If you painted all Italian food with the same brush, you’d be doing Milan a massive disservice. The local food here isn’t quite so well known across the world as the pastas of Rome and Bologna, but trust us, you’ll never forget the food here.
Mark our words, Milan is a foodie city in its own right, as well known for its hearty, meaty dishes like cassoeula and ossobucco as it is for its sweet treats and sandwiches. Our only tip is to escape the tourist traps as much as you possibly can. And that’s where we come in. Our local writers have drawn up this ultimate list of Milan’s best food, and where to eat it too. Happy eating!
