Cantina Piemontese $$$
Established in 1908, at those times in front of a Laghetto (a pond) aside the Naviglio canal, it's a quiet and traditional place.

Cracco Top Notch
Successfull balance between avant-garde and tradition, the daring and the down-to-earth. Superb wine cellar, and stars by Michelin. Also a café, open every day 8am-midnight.
.:. Chef Carlo Cracco, who boasted a starred career at Ducasse in Montecarlo and Sanderens in Paris, had cooperated in reopening the old acclaimed Peck restaurant in Via Victor Hugo in 2001. The interiors had been extensively revamped in 2007. Nonetheless, eleven years later Cracco moved his premises to the Galleria, or "the Milan parlour".

Dal Bolognese $$$$
You may know its sister restaurant in Rome, packed with politicians and tourists alike. Here the glitzy crowd is Milan-style: industrialists, fashion and media folk, football players. The food is strictly Bolognese. Homemade pastas (lasagna bolognese a must), meats and great desserts. Al fresco in the good season.
.:. Not to be confused with the other Bolognese reviewed here.

Gattò $$$
A most unusual place: you enter through a former-travel agency-cum-shop (where an eclectic range of objects was also sold for a while).
.:. The original chef is a young lady – a slip of a girl – who graduated in industrial design. Mediterranean, homey cuisine with a Neapolitan touch. Good selection of wines. Though recently more pricey, it's still value for money. Free Wi-Fi.

On top of laRinascente department store, at the seventh floor. Moderately elegant, with the best view in town over the gargoyles and the statues of the Duomo, and al fresco dining in the good season.
