It can be roughly divided into formal restaurants, fast food restaurants, cafeterias, etc. In big cities such as Rome and Milan, each city has thousands of restaurants of various sizes. Formal restaurants include domestic restaurants with ethnic flavors and various foreign restaurants, with different specifications and flavors. Milan's restaurants Savini and Paradise are also popular. Savigny Restaurant has a history of more than 100 years. There is a large restaurant and small private rooms in the museum. Dining here is more formal, and the waiters are strictly trained. Dishes are served one after another in a fixed order. The dishes are mainly traditional dishes, such as steak, roast suckling pork, fried prawns, foie gras, etc. The Italian fast food industry has developed in recent years. Fast food has both Italian and other national flavors. Generally located in the city center, busy streets or intersections, it can accommodate many people to eat in a short period of time. In Italy, it is also very convenient to eat in cafeterias, which are usually built near large gas stations on highways or in bustling city centers. Milan, the economic center, is a paradise for gourmets. Milanese, who like new things, were the first to accept fast food in Italy. Led by NUOVA CUCINA, which is known as Italian food, they have tasted famous dishes from all over the world. On the other hand, traditional dishes made from rich raw materials produced in fertile land are still very popular.
Risotto (risotto) made from rice produced in the Po River basin and polenta (polenta) made from cornmeal are its representative foods. Polenta can be cooked with meat, eaten plain like bread, or fried and eaten like lasagna. There are so many ways to prepare it. Famous dishes in Milan include Ossobuco, a beef shank cooked with the bones in order to enjoy the gelatin of the bone marrow, and Risottoallamilanese, a saffron-flavored tomato sauce pilaf. These dishes go well with the rich flavor of the local representative wine, Oltrepo Pavese Barvera. This representative dish of Milan, Ossobuco, is usually eaten with Risottoallamilanese, so there are also reasonable cuisines.
Like other places in northern Italy, handmade pasta and rice products are preferred to dry pasta. In Brescia, there is a kind of Italian ravioli called Casonsei, which is a food made of sausage, bread and cheese. Tortelli di Zucca, a pasta mixed with nanpai, and Gnocchi di Zucca, a ball-shaped pasta made with diced pumpkin and flour, are famous. In addition, we also recommend Lugana, a white wine made by absorbing the aroma of flowers growing around Lake Garda. In this cold region, a famous dish that is indispensable in winter is Cassoeula. Pig is cooked from head to toe with cabbage. When eating this dish, it is very good to drink the potent red bardacarlo from Lotrepo Pavese, which is produced in the southern hills of the region. Vitellotonnato, the cow-infused tuna sauce that can be seen on the menus of restaurants in Italy, is produced in this region. Thinly sliced ??boiled beef topped with tuna flavored salsa and served with green leaves. It goes well with the white Franciacorta Pinot.
Another one that cannot be forgotten is Cotdettaalla MIllanese. Fried steak, which is so big that it almost falls off the plate, has become a popular dish throughout Italy. When eating this dish, it goes well with the flavor of the sparkling wine Oltrepo Pavese Pinot Spumamte.
At the same time, Milan is also famous for its cheese, with Gorgonzola being the most famous, produced in a village of the same name on the outskirts of Milan. In addition, the origin of the world-famous Christmas candy Panettone is also Milan. Exported to all parts of Italy and countries around the world.
Although Milan is an inland city, it has the largest fish market in Italy and is very famous for its concentration of fresh fish from all over Italy. There are many restaurants specializing in fish in Milan, which can satisfy gourmets.
