Trattoria Dei Magnani Al Cantinone

We were in Milan for about 3-4 days last November before we headed to Rome. We have done quite a bit of research on where we should eat through my favorite tripadvisor. With the help of unlimited data usage, we had our GPS on each time we need to look for an exact location. With GPS, you will never lost your way again especially when you are on a foreign land.

There are actually 2 different entrances to this restaurant. One of them leads you to the restaurant which is the one I am reviewing on and another is the side for the mini buffet. Its more of a casual dining area where you order you food at the counter and it is cheaper too.

Papp cinghiale

This tomato based, flat and broad pasta looks a bit like the horfun we have in Singapore. Believe we don't get to see or try this often in Singapore. The texture is good and as Italian pasta is generally a little harder and doesn't feels that it is 100% cooked, you may not get used to it the first time you try the pasta in Italy. However to my surprise, the texture for this dish is really good. It is cooked with generous chunks of boar meat.

Price: 12 Euro


Spaghetti continone

This tomato based spaghetti with quite a strong taste of sardine is topped with this chunks of white chewy mozzarella.

Price: 12 Euro

Polenta funghi

The watery polenta is relatively bland but if eaten together with the sauteed mushroom and shaved cheese, it tasted pretty good.

Ristorante Galleria

This was where we had our first dinner in Milan. The restaurant is situated at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Duomo.

Breads are served in  all the restaurants in Italy before your food is served. I have to say that the bread served in this restaurant is hard like a rock.

Ravioli di magro with butter and sage

There are about 6 - 7 pieces of them for each serving and yes when it was served I was thinking to myself that these are not going to fill my stomach. But I was wrong. It was actually rather filling. The ravioli is filled with ricotta cheese and spinach and is bland but with a titch of saltiness. It was just nice for me.

Price: 14 Euros


4 Stagioni

B had a pizza to herself and of course it was too big for her to finish. So with some help from me, we managed to clear the whole plate eventually. The pizza consist of tomato sauce, mozzarella, olives, ham and artichokes. The cheese spread across the thin crust evenly. It was good.

Price: 13 Euros

I did not manage to take a picture of the receipt though. But after adding the bottle of still water, the bill came up to about 30 Euros.
