Dishes mentioned
Mondeghili
These are super traditional mondeghili. The breading is crunchy and inside there's a soft heart made of different types of meat. I checked the recipe book to see the ingredients, but tasting them is the real experience.
Insalata Russa
This is their Russian salad. Do what you want, but this vintage taste is super elegant.
Agnolotti del Flin
These agnolotti del Flin are amazing. The roast meat sauce that glazes them is incredibly delicious. Let me see the recipe because I want to make these myself.
Risotto alla Milanese
Second first course, obviously risotto alla milanese. Carnaroli rice cooked to perfection, saffron that colors your mouth with its delicate, sweet aroma, then hugged by the mantecatura with butter.
Cotoletta alla Milanese
The queen. I love that the aroma that rises is that of clarified butter. The breading has a good thickness, but the meat inside is no less and is very tender.
