    I ordered the risotto with the veal shank, delicious. The dish was not too small or big, it was just enough. The free glass of prosecco was a very nice touch, and the servers were very helpful and attentive. Definitely a place to visit for what I'm guessing is an authentic milanese meal.

    The location is really special and a typical Milanese style osteria. We were greeted with a (albeit warm....) procecco on the house which felt nice. Our vitello tornato, beed with asparagus and veal cutlet were excellent. The service was good, very defensive and not as welcoming as we may have expected from a traditional osteria. Nice place to have dinner a little off from the tourist streams and ristorantes. Would definitely go again!

    The pasta is too salty, better call it salty tomato flavor.

    Started off well, nice greeting with a glass of Prosecco, great cheese platter, nice recommendation on a half bottle of wine. Then it went off the rails - the next course, a pasta dish, simply didn’t appear. After 45 min, we cancelled the final course and just asked for the pasta and grilled veggies. Still took forever, then the pasta came in undercooked, the grilled veggies cold and burnt at the same time. We just gave up and the only saving grace was they comped the entire meal. How an Italian restaurant can get pasta wrong is beyond me, but if you lose our order, please don’t attempt to make up time by then undercooking everything, that only makes it worse.

    Fantastic experience. Wonderful service, and the food was excellent. I had the deep fried zucchini flowers and the Osso Bucco. Both were delicious. I am going back again tonight.

    The meat is wonderful. Perfectly matured and cooked. The wine selection is rich. I found this place through Fork and it’s the second time I dine here. I recommend this restaurant for meat lovers.

    Every detail of the service was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful with making a balanced selection for the table of appetizers. The suggestions for dinner were great. The food presentation excellent and the atmosphere relaxing. We were in Italy for 3 weeks and this definitely is one of the top 3 restaurants we had dinner at. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Not a lot of tourist, mostly locals.

    We were treated like royalty! Amazing service from all. Delightful amuse bouche and welcome glass of prosecco. I can’t remember the name of our dish…it was the risotto served tableside from a Parmesan wheel. Outstanding - best risotto of my life. The osso bucco was perfect and had the best, large bone full of marrow. Although we were full, we got the hazelnut gelato and so happy we did. So good! And what a treat at the end of the meal…not the typical lemoncello, but a lovely selection of three liquors to enjoy - lemon, blueberry and mango. We got to meet the chef and share our praise of the meal. We were all over Italy for three weeks and this was our favorite meal of all! We will definitely return here next time we are in Milan and recommend to all of our friends!

    Appreciate the complimentary prosecco and appetitivo. It was hot outside but the restaurant didn’t seem that air conditioned so we were warm. The music was not good — fake muzak that no one likes — just play some vintage Italian songs and everyone will b happy!

    We were served with a glass of Prosecco as a welcome drink and a nice finger food to start with. It was a surprising nice gesture! The food and service were good and we are happy to choose this restaurant for the evening in Milan.

    Exceptional service, delicious food & wine, and a relaxing atmosphere made for a memorable dining experience. The menus clearly indicated dietary information, grazie mille! The Milanese cuisine was superb, particularly the tender Milanese egg and the flavourful fagottini. Highly recommended!

    The food was amazing (me and my girlfriend both had a risotto) as was the service. Alessandro, in particular, served us perfectly, both in terms of the food and in terms of the attention and care during our meal. It was our first meal in Milano and, quite probably, also the best one : )

    There were three of us and we had a very good meal at Osteria Cornalia. It is a very nice restaurant not far from FS Central Station and within easy walking distance from there. Service was also perfect as was everything else around it. we are 100% coming back.

    Risotto is really tasty and cioccolatissimo as well. Service was excellent. The atmosphere as well. Ossobuco and polenta was ok. A bit expensive if you get something else than Risotto and wine.

    Very nice service. Most of the food was very good. The beef steak was not good, but that's our mistake for ordering it in Milan.
