Casottel

Un posto dove ti senti a casa e soprattutto dove non sembra di essere ancora a Milano!!! Il cibo è buono e abbondante, però non esiste un menu perché è la cameriera stessa ad elencare i piatti e dunque non si sa quanto si stia spendendo. Per dare un'idea, abbiamo speso 79 euro in tre, forse un po' altino (due primi, un riso con ossobuco, una cotoletta, un contorno, tre caffè); inoltre il servizio è un po' lento ma le signore sono estremamente gentili. Nonostante menu e servizio, ci tornerò sicuramente per mangiare sotto il bellissimo pergolato in estate!!!

Rude owner but awesome and available staff, Food was awesome, typical Milanese cuisine

Food is ok. Everything else is one of the worst. Especially they think they can steal you money if you are a large group, and if you complain they will try hard to ignore the complain. Crazy prices

Nice place during summer,quiet and fresh tiny old garden. But the food is "only" decent and prices are crazily random (no list,the bill depends by the mood of an old rude man..)

The most authentic cuisine alla Milanese. The chef is a real Italian grandmother, the interior is a throw back from the 1960s but the food is all traditional and the portions large. Do not overlook or underestimate this place. Signed a food snob from NY

I wish I could give 4.5 stars, because I'd subtract a half a star for the fact that my risotto left something to be desired on my last visit... but I'll go five stars instead of four, since the personnel that operate Casottel, despite us not being to speak to each other, are absolute treasures! After my first visit, we barely were able to communicate what we wanted (and actually got something we didn't want... but were happy to, since it was delicious), but had such an incredible experience that we had to return the next two nights in a row. We'd arrived almost an hour before opening on our second night, but the lady of the house (the "nonna" everyone refers to, who cooks/runs everything) opened up for us and invited us to sit and enjoy an aperitif in the bar area while the kitchen was being prepped for the evenings service. She was just relaxing in the bar area herself, having a coffee and reading the newspaper. It was so kind of her to open for us and invite us in like this. The gentlemen who took our orders also got very friendly with us over our three visits and always touted to guests at surrounding tables that we were visiting from overseas (Canada), as if a proud relative. It's funny how much can be said without use of words... I really felt like I gained a family member or two upon these three visits to Casottel and will be sure to visit on every trip back to Milano! The food is incredible and deeply authentic Milanese. Every single item I had over those three visits was stellar, sadly save for the risotto on one visit, which was a bit dry- but still perfectly delectable. Sadly, the names of most of the dishes I had escape me since Italian is not my first language (and I've a bad memory), however, I'll be happy to be surprised on my next visits. We were even given a couple things complimentary since I could tell they wanted us to experience their best offerings- very kind gesture. Their deserts were just as good as the mains. Can't wait to visit again and will recommend this hidden gem to any friends visiting town and looking for an authentic dining experience.

Was pretty good. A lovely authentic restaurant and lovely staff. You should come here if you want the real home cooked experience. But prepared to speak Italian!

Lovely restaurant near Milan, the outside space is so dreamy. The food is GREAT! Service is a bit slow but nothing too concerning, just be prepared to wait a bit more than your usual Milanese restaurant. I promise the food makes it all worth it. Prices are fair.
