Restaurant Al'Less

The poor food is getting very fashionable in the last period in Italy, but the boiled meat (in italian: the "bollito") remains one of the traditional italian plate that I really don't appreciate! I haven't been eating it since the years at the high school and the bollito has remained in the obscurity of my adolescence together with the acne and interrogation of maths.

After about ten years I wanted to try again the bollito at the restaurant Al'Less, the most famous restaurant in Milan on boiled meat. And in fact here the Gran Bollito reigns supreme in the menu and is in good company with other traditional Italian dishes: tripe, braised colt, boar Maremma, soups, ravioli in broth, testaroli. But since this dinner was meant to be a reunion with an old acquaintance (the bollito of course), I could not do the honors to the protagonist of the restaurant and taste the various cuts of meat boiled and the various accompanying sauces.  

Al Mercato - burger bar

The show is at 21:15, perfect timing to get away from the office, take a breath of fresh air and have a bite with my faithful friends of the theater Franco Parenti. The appointment for a quick dinner is at Al Mercato that, unlike the evocative name of vegetables and products of our mother earth, is actually a wonderful "stall" full of great burgers in Yankees sauce. And on the web are rumors that this is one of the best hamburgers in Milan ... a visit of courtesy was a must! 

Bodega del tasca ¡Bar de Tapas!

Just missing the musicality of the Spanish voices, the toothpicks and receipts on the floor and an edition of El Pais newspaper read sipping a glass of vino tinto and then this venue would really look like a tapas bar madrileño. And here it is the Bodega del Tasca, with its long wooden bar that invites you to sit down to share wine and tapas with old and new friends, with its stools scattered everywhere, high or low, it does not matter: it's OK to stand up, enjoy the cheerful atmosphere of this small place, in a pleasent party of sips, bites and speeches in good company! La Bodega belongs to the popular restaurant / bar Il Tasca and it shares the name, address and the Spanish spirit, but the Bodega del Tasca has a more youthful and rebel look and spirit!
