Rigolo

Rigolo, which recently celebrated its 60th anniversary, looks like a formal restaurant with its white linen, silver cutlery and slightly older waiters. Once you find your table, it's immediately apparent that this is a warm and friendly place. The food is Tuscan, and the menu features traditional dishes and reinvented Italian classics. Try dishes like pappardelle with wild boar sauce and ossobuco with risotto.

Dining

Milan has a large selection of restaurants, from authentic family-run lunch places, to strict sushi eateries and top-class establishments where the corporate credit card reigns supreme. As is often the case in Italy, the best dining experience is usually a less extravagant affair in honest trattorias serving local and national specialities. Dinner in Italy usually start between 8 pm and 10 pm. It typically begins with an antipasti course of small bites paired with aperitivo cocktails. Aperitivo can be had as early as 6 pm, if you are not in a hurry — and you shouldn't be.
