We went for lunch and love how its located by an urban garden. We had a two course meal with wine each and espresso to finish, total bill was 90 € — pricey lunch but it was worth it! We ordered the beef carpaccio and gazpacho as starters — both delish. For our mains we had the chicken and risotto which were excellent. The risotto was firm and creamy. The chicken was also equally delicious; we loved that the food is simple yet elegant. Would definitely recommend and go back!

Amazing space and our meal was perfect! Get the meatballs and risottos. Make a reservation in advance.

Great Milan restaurant. I was a little skeptical walking up, it’s set back from the road in a beautiful building. Bean soup, Lamb chops and peach cobbler. All wonderful and full of flavour. Great wine list at reasonable prices. A clear home run. Definitely a repeat and highest recommendation. The place was packed on. Wednesday night. Service matched the food.

Solid meal in Milan — I would have to say my favorite out of all the meals I had in Milan. We came in on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was packed! Thankfully, the hostess said it would only be a short wait and we made our way to the bar. She recommended a delicious bottle of white to start us off. The overall meal was perfect. Service was on point. They offered a chef’s tasting menu for 45 euros and this is definitely the way to go. You get to try a little bit of everything and you will be happily stuffed at the end. Ratana is slightly off the beaten track — it’s a little further out from the Duomo/touristy areas but well worth the trek.

We didn’t have reservations when we walked in and I’m so glad they decided to take us for dinner! Ratana was my favorite meal during my trip to Milan & Switzerland. We started off with a bottle of wine recommended by the hostess(and not the most expensive bottle on the vast list they had!) while we waited for our table. We landed on each having the chef’s tasting menu for 45 € per person for 4 plates and a dessert. The cream of broccoli risotto was my favorite dish! The rice was perfectly cooked and the color was a gorgeous green. The main, which was a grilled chicken breast on top of greens was interesting. Very simple, but the chicken was sweet and the greens were slightly bitter. it just made for an interesting combination for my taste buds. We went on for another bottle of wine and chatted until almost closing. Ratana was our last dinner in Milan and it was the perfect way to end our trip!

Probably the easiest 5* ever. In architectural terms ‘Aesthetic paradise’ …It is the ‘Bright White’ in contrast to the modern stark dark White that surrounds it but it is so much more than that. Its location alone justifies its existence smack bang in the middle of Porta Nuova and a short walk from Garibaldi Station. Milano cusine at it’s best and an oasis of culinary style in the midst of other modern con-fusion menus … if Ratanà had a musical equivalent it would be a duet by Ray LaMontagne & Adele. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and their Wine list is a Sommeliers dream littered with fine Chianti, Barolo & ‘spumantizzavano’ you would be hard put to find all in one place at any given time including a 2006 Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio delle Rose! Their menus are well thought out and always changing. My favourites were the Risotto dishes and Oggi cassoeula Milanese but don’t miss out on the Chocolate Ganache or the Crema di mascarpone e ofelle I could dizzy you with superlatives but the only way you will get how good it is, is to be here and feel it for yourself. Two visits now and many more to follow. See you there.
