Boeucc

Very good fresh food and excellent staff. The asparagus tortellini was amazing! Tiramisu was light and not too sweet… Perfect!
Just be aware they only take cash or American Express. There is an atm nearby just in case.
Great experience!

Three words: bit too expensive.
Now, Bœucc is an interesting place. Piazza Bel Gioso is a cute little square where Alessandro Manzoni used to live. Why is it relevant? Because Bœucc is all about tradition, local Lombard cuisine, served with white gloves. The atmosphere is austere, the ladies are wearing colliers and pearls, the gentlemen pretending to know which bottle is which from an über-​long wine list.
Lombard cuisine has its classics, and you should focus on those: risotto, costoletta «col manico» (with the bone), ossobuco. The Chateaubriand is quite the experience, and if you’ve never heard of it, well, time to step up your game and wear comfy pants, as it’s a big chunk of red meat, rigorously cooked for two people.
Now, if you’re looking for a light meal, or a light bill, look elsewhere. There are the usual fish options (branzino, orata, etc.), but red meat seems the way to go. The starters are interesting and very diverse but seriously expensive, you can hardly whet your appetite (that’s what appetizers should do, right?) with less than € 18. But is it worth the price? Well, the service is impeccable, the portions are small-​ish, the presentation is on point, without being overly artistic. Long story short, good food, which you more than pay for it. Appetizer with white truffle form Alba? That’s € 60, thank you.
A couple of miss from my very personal point of view: a Michelin-​star-​esque restaurant should offer a tasting menu, to give you a flavor of what the chef is passionate about. Even without the tasting menu, the coffee can be improved. I almost scorched my tongue on a poorly executed macchiato.
On the plus, the bread basket is a thing of beauty, the amuse-​bouche was indeed bouche-​amusing, the little tea patisserie with the coffee a welcome and complimentary sweet note.
If you’re into eighteenth century décor, formal elegance and classily-​crafted food, Bœucc is a five star for you.

One of the classiest restaurant in town — dripping with old school Italian elegance. The place is over 300 years old but exceptionally well kept. Service alone deserves 5 stars, never a moment where you are not being taken care of. Excellent wine menu ranking from 38 to over 1k. I’ve tried the carpaccio, vegetable soup, chicory anchovy salad and the osobucco and the Seabass and of course the primi piati of pastas — all of which are evident that they used the highest quality ingredients. Desserts cart comes around abut it’s steep — 15 euros for one so keep that in mind. Definitely a place to take clients or parents when they are in town to show Milan’s finest dining.

Du très bon
Quel régal que ce restaurant qui se trouve au beau milieu d’un petite place en plein milieu du quartier des affaires… Difficile à trouver car pas de devanture spéciale, un fois à l’intérieur on vous propose une multitude de choix de plats italiens. Pour ma part j’ai dégusté un très bon «Osso Bucco al rissotinni». Le plateau des desserts qu’on vous amèné est impressionnant aussi. Attention à la note, elle monte vite…
