Latteria

The main business here at one time was dispensing milk and eggs to a press of neighborhood shoppers, but now the emphasis is on serving the La Brera neighborhood delicious, homemade fare in a room decorated with paintings and photographs of roses. The minestrone and other vegetable soups are delicious, as are the many variations of risotto, including some otherwise hard-to-find variations such as riso al salto, a delicious dish of leftover risotto alla Milanese that is fried with butter. The menu changes daily, and the friendly staff, including owners Arturo and Maria, won't mind explaining the different dishes. The place is tiny and doesn't take bookings, so if you want to get one of the popular tables, arrive when it opens or wait until 8:30pm or later, when a few tables will free up as the early-dining tourist clientele clears out and the locals take over.
