Good food in a casual environment. This is where the locals go — recommended to us by several of our local friends, this is the place to go for typical Milanese food — Osso Buco with risotto milanese, panfried risotto giallo(made famous by an opera singer), cotoletta. Everything we tried was delicious.

We came here on a Saturday night and this place was very busy. If possible, be sure to call ahead and try and make reservations because the dining room is fairly limited and the tables are on top of each other. The ambiance was casual and very typical of Italian cuisine with the checkered table cloths and carta music(type of paper thin bread) on each table. For food, we did the fresh buffalo mozzarella con prosciutto(excellent and fresh), the osso buco con risotto alla milanese(flavorful and must order as a traditional dish of the city), and the cacio e pepe(always a good spaghetti to try if in the mood). We tried some desserts, but nothing stood out to us. Overall, the food was good, service was friendly and our experience was enjoyable. From what I remember, the prices were also fair for what we ordered and I would recommend should you be in the area. Buon appetito.

Best meal in can remember recently in Italy, US, the world! For the first course, my wife had the shrimp pasta, I had the veal ragout papardelle. Both excellent. Then came perfectly cooked, medium-rare, Filet with Balsamic sauce. Haven’t had a better steak anywhere! And then came the Italian«Baked Alaska». A delicious vanilla/chocolate Gelato covered with baked meringue and homemade chocolate sauce! Great atmosphere too! No English menu, which is a good sign that this place is the real deal, but the waitress spoke very good English and was more than helpful in selecting the best items on the menu!

I love it! For me it is the best restaurant in milan and I lived there for over 3 years and tried many if not most of the restaurants in the centre of milan. At La Libera you never get disappointed and go out happy and satisfied every time.

Right in the heart of the city, near Brera and Garibaldi, this little restaurant deserves a visit. Not too expensive, not too elegant, you can go there with family, friens or business partners(if not too formal). And you will enjoy! Food is traditional Milanese(risotto, cotoletta), but also fish foods and pizza as well! You’ll always find what you were looking for, without paying too much. A good recommendation alo for tourists visiting the city, you normally eat quite quickly, therefore there is ooften the cance to get a table even later. But reserving is better. Ah, keep a little place for the dessert: they are all very good, but my REAL favourite is the Hot Ice cream.
