Reviewers praise Rosticceria Leoncino’s Cotoletta alla milanese as a standout, calling it perfectly crisp and tender. The overall vibe is warm and unpretentious, celebrating simple, high-quality Italian comfort food.
“The breading is a bit dry and feels like it came from a lab — I'd put more care into it because a good breading makes all the difference. It's a sufficient product, not bad, but not something I'd go out to buy. I'd give it a 6.”

A decent rotisserie with an open kitchen, but the food is average — the chicken is good, the cutlet is just okay.

Cotoletta alla Milanese
The breading is a bit dry and feels like it came from a lab — I'd put more care into it because a good breading makes all the difference. It's a sufficient product, not bad, but not something I'd go out to buy. I'd give it a 6.
Mezzo Pollo allo Spiedo
This piece has perfect cooking — the skin could have been pushed a bit more, but it's good. I'd give it an 8, I eat it with pleasure. The other piece was a bit dry, so overall average is 7.
