For a truly authentic Milanese meal, you have to visit Consorzio Stoppani. It’s an unpretentious spot with a wonderful, lively atmosphere that feels like a neighborhood festival, drawing in locals for its fantastic seasonal Italian dishes. You absolutely must try their famous "cotoletta" (the Milanese-style schnitzel), which is enormous and famously delicious, but honestly, everything from the pasta to the desserts is a treat.
