Just like its distant Viennese cousin, cotoletta alla Milanese is a thinly pounded, breaded, pan-fried veal cutlet. Although similar, the two dishes do differ slightly: the Viennese version is traditionally dipped in both flour and bread crumbs before being fried in oil, butter, or a combination of both, while the Milanese version is cooked bone-in and uses only bread crumbs and butter. It is often suggested that the similarities between these two culinary classics are not purely coincidental, as Milan was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 17th and 18th century. However, when responding to any superficial comparison between the cotoletta and Wiener schnitzel, the Milanese will proudly point out that their dish has been a specialty of Milan and Lombardy since the 12th century. A recent Milanese invention is a version of the cotoletta called l&rsquo;orecchia di elefante (lit. elephant's ear) in reference to its size and shape, while the original version gets its name from la costoletta - the cut of meat traditionally used to make it, a nearly inch-thick bone-in veal chop.

The food was too heavy and greasy, and you can’t really taste the flavor of the meat. I think the traditional one is cooked in a pan. I will try that next time.

The word ravioli denotes various kinds of pasta made by placing a filling between two thin layers of dough. The pasta used is typically wheat flour and egg based, and it acts as an enclosure while also binding with the sauce or broth the ravioli is cooked or served in. Ravioli are usually served boiled with a sauce as a first course, or boiled and served in broth as a traditional winter dish. Ravioli fillings include diverse varieties of meat, cheese, and vegetables, and they vary from region to region. There are also sweet ravioli, which are usually deep-fried. Although no one is certain when the first ravioli were made exactly, the earliest written recipe for ravioli appears in a 14th-century document written by Francesco di Marco, a Tuscan merchant. Today, modern regional varieties are distinguished by their fillings, by the ingredients used in the dough (such as olive oil in southern Italy), and by their shape, which can be square, round, rectangular, or half-moon with straight or serrated edges.

I went the restaurant because it was one of the most famous restaurant in Milan. We waited a long line to get in the restaurant. 

I preferred the ravioli with Parmecan sauce. It was really under cooked for me. I would expect a better taste. The sauce was okay. The overall taste was decent but not the best

Tagliatelle al pesto

Tried the pesto pasta — it was pretty good, but didn’t really blow me away. The pasta felt a little undercooked. The place had a nice vibe, but it was super crowded.

These crescent-shaped turnovers are traditionally prepared for the Carnival season, and even though it is believed that they originated in the Apulia region, panzerotti are extremely popular all across southern Italy. They resemble small calzone pizzas&mdash;both in shape and the dough used for its preparation&mdash;but instead of being oven-baked, panzerotti are deep-fried, which is why they're also called calzoni fritti (fried calzones), pizze fritte (fried pizzas), or simply frittelle (fritters). The classic panzerotto filling consists of merely tomatoes and mozzarella, but they can be filled with pretty much anything and in various combinations: prosciutto-mozzarella, pepperoni-provolone, spinach-ricotta, zucchini-mozzarella, onion-olives-tomatoes, speck-fontina, etc. Apart from the savory variations, there are also panzerotti filled with all kinds of fruits such as apples, pears, plums, oranges, cherries, peaches, and strawberries, which are wonderfully paired with ricotta, chocolate, or custard cream.

Panzerotti

Panzerotti Luini

Fried dough with flavorful fillings. We tried mozeralla with tomato, ricotta with spinach and four cheese. Definitely worth to try. My favorite was mozeralla and tomato.
