Milan is full of incredible, stylish places to eat—but some of the most rewarding meals are found in the traditional spots that are a little harder to find if you don’t know where to look. Al Matarel feels like being invited into someone’s dining room: intimate, unmistakably Milanese, and slightly chaotic in the best way. Al Garghet is perfect for long lunches—a true Milan institution that’s traditional, comforting, and unapologetically nostalgic. And then there’s Premiata Trattoria Arlati dal 1936: nothing flashy, just very good food, done the same way it has been for decades.
