Non sono solito lasciare recensioni, ma in questo caso ci tengo a farlo per esprimere la mia gratitudine per un servizio davvero affettuoso. Al momento della prenotazione avevo chiesto semplicemente una candelina su un dessert generico per il compleanno di mia madre; con grande sorpresa, ci è stata invece servita una piccola torta preparata appositamente, presentata direttamente dal gestore. Un gesto raro, sincero e molto apprezzato. Oltretutto non essendo clienti abituali.

Sono io che ringrazio voi, primo per la cortesia e secondo per l’attenzione particolare alla mia celiachia, location tradizionale mi sento veramente a casa a Milano, cibo davvero veramente ottimo complimenti, ho mangiato da Dio, servizio gentilissimo, professionale e soprattutto presente bravi. Ci tornerò assolutamente!

Cosa dire tutto perfetto!!! Oggi pranzo in questo piccolo ristorante vicino alla Arena Servizo veloce, pane lievito madre squisito, olio d’oliva di altissima qualità, piatti uno più gustoso dell’altro tutto fatto a mano. Puré vero, nervetti squisiti, pollo alla diavola come deve essere, spaghetti cotti giusto e ottimo consiglio per il vino… per me è bello tornare sempre in questo piccolo gioiello milanese

Prima volta. Locale molto accogliente e vivace. Cibo ottimo. Servizio ottimo. Eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo. Molto frequentato anche dai giovani

Ottimo ristorante meneghino nel cuore di Milano, dietro Parco Sempione. Ogni piatto è eseguito perfettamente, noi abbiamo preso le verdure in pastella, la tartare alla francese (estremamente buona!) con patate perfette e asparagi e uova. tutto il servizio è stato impeccabile. consiglio vivamente se si vuole provare la verca cucina milanese!

Sono tornata ieri sera in questo storico locale dove si mangia dell'ottima cucina milanese. La guancia brasata è stata la migliore che ho provato ultimamente. Servizio gentile e professionale e l' atmosfera è molto rilassata e semplice nella sua raffinatezza. Uno dei miei locali preferiti a Milano. Unico neo i due turni serali

We loved this restaurant so much that we went twice during our short stay in Milan. Nicolo the manager is exceptional and provided great service both nights! We didn’t have a reservation but they were accommodating to us. This truly feels like a locals spot. We will be back next time we are in Milan!

In Milan the food is another level but Nuova Arena was another level. Had Vitello tonnato, risotto ala milanese and trippa that was out of bounds.

Place Returned after two years and it was just as good as before. A true local, family-owned spot with a warm Italian feel. The decoration is homely and authentic, and the seating is spacious enough for groups of any size. The location isn’t near a metro, but it’s still easy to reach. Staff Very friendly and professional. English can be a bit of a challenge at times, but it doesn’t affect the experience. Food Outstanding food across the board. The cotoletta alla milanese, risotto, and fish were all excellent. Prices Not the cheapest, but fair for the quality you get. Extra This place has hosted, or still hosts, AC Milan players — a fun detail that adds to its charm.

Exactly what you want when you’re looking for a locals-only spot or a traditional family restaurant.. Nice and intimate atmosphere, excellent homestyle cooking. Amazing Mondeghili and Risotto Milanese, two house specialties that cannot be missed. I had some doubts the food would be this good and it was even better than expected. Such a pleasant evening overall.

On our last night in Milan we decided to try a restaurant close to our apartment, and we are so happy we ate here. Everything was delicious and the staff were kind and attentive!

I was looking for a spot to drop by for dinner and Nicolo managed to get me a table here despite being fully booked. I’m so glad he did because the food was delicious! I got the Osso Bucco with risotto and the spaghetti and both where amazing…I will be back with friends!

From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and outstanding service. The staff were not only professional but also genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the saffron risotto – perfect, rich in flavour, and beautifully presented. It’s a must-try dish if you're visiting! Every bite was a celebration of traditional Italian cuisine done right. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, and everything from the service to the food exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be returning and recommending Nuova Arena to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience in Milan.

Easily one of very best neighborhood restaurants that exists in Milan with attentive staff, outstanding food and a very nice selection of wine. The risotto Milanese was the best I ever had here in my 30+ years of eating locally. The Cassoeula was offered the night I was here and did not disappoint. The atmosphere is lovely with locals mostly and it’s clear the staff knows most of their clients intimately.

Filippo Formenti

Nuova Arena has a permanent spot in the Olimpus of the greatest typical restaurants in Milan. Everything is delicious: the mondeghili here are to die for! P.s. FORZA MILAN SEMPRE

Sam Slater

Great staff, lovely decor and amazing vibe in the restaurant - the risotto alla milanese with braised veal was stunning and the wine was also exquisite, easily one of the best dishes I had during my stay. Staff were attentive and pleasant, even to Englishmen.

Yuval K

Fabulous 👌🏼. Everything is great here. Small family place with great professional service and great food. The fried mozzarella and zucchini were yummy. The salami plate was plain, and we loved it with the thin cracker. Then rigatoni carbonara was delicious, and to finish, it was a milanese veal on the bone with fresh arugula and cherry tomatoes. Wonderful. Apple pie and panna cota were so good. The atmosphere was very nice. Must book waybin advance.

A very traditional restaurant which got us recommended from a person growing up in Milan. And the restaurant did not disappoint! Almost just Italian people where eating here and the food was very good and authentic. Can definitely recommend for a trip to Milan.

Food and (house) wine was fantastic, you can skip the dessert though. Italian restaurant straight out of the books.

N.Keong Kao

Dine with the local Milanese. Menu only in Italian, but no problem... the waiter ready and happy to explain every detail. His English not so good, few words he can’t translate but 1000% for his effort. Felt so warm and welcoming... we stayed longer than expected, 2 desserts - tiramisu & gelato + strawberries. And a shot of espresso, longer...

One of the best restaurants in Milan, food is fresh, great atmosphere, I highly recommend it

We came as a group and had a wonderful lunch. The food is delicious. Both the salads the pasta and tiramisu. The staff is nice and it is very cosy. Small with white table cloth on the table.

Il ristorante è davvero molto bello ed accogliente, il servizio veloce e il personale gentile. Ammetto però che una cotoletta, due bicchieri di vino e un dolce 80 euro mi sembra davvero over price. Purtroppo a Milano le trattorie storiche sono diventate delle boutique e non tutti possiamo permetterci di mangiare la nostra cucina nostrana a queste cifre.

Buona la cucina, buono anche il servizio. Il locale è molto piccolo ma per cenare a tarda ora senza alcuna prenotazione è ottimo. Inoltre il locale spesso è frequentato da gente dello spettacolo,quindi facilmente si incontrano volti noti della tv.

Buona trattoria milanese in zona Arena. Piatti tipici ben preparati, unico neo un rapporto qualità-prezzo rivedibile.

Il ristorante è molto bello e anche la qualità del cibo è solida. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è adeguato. L’unico aspetto che ho trovato poco professionale riguarda il servizio: il piatto principale è stato servito mentre avevamo ancora l’antipasto sul tavolo. È un comportamento poco professionale e spero che si possa rivedere questa pratica.

We came without reservations and with a small dog. We have stayed outside and we were alone on the terrasse; The service was very good. Food was good, not exceptional. In total: very good experience!

It has a very traditional vibe, and with a minimum fixed price you can have downstairs only for you and your friends/family! The focaccina is delicious! The gnocchi was not in the top 10 I have tried unfortunately… on the other hand, everybody that ate the branzino really liked it!
