I am very glad that i chose this place as my first encounter with traditional milanese food culture. I admit i did a lot of research before eating here, saw many restaurants, but this one had such good reviews that i couldn't help but pick it among many other restaurants that offer the same meals but not the same ambiance. Everything was delicious as promised by the people who recommended it. Super pleased 😄!

We had a wonderful experience at Trattoria La Pesa dal 1902. The atmosphere is warm, authentic, and very welcoming. The staff were extremely respectful, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. The quality of the food was outstanding—everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared to a very high standard. We truly enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Very milanese and traditional experience. Food was outstanding, we had beef tongue, tartar, cotoletta alla milanese and affogato. Restaurant atmosphere is cozy and traditional. Service was kind and quick. Great value for the price!
Well prepared food with unique, Milanese flavors. Friendly staff; although as a tourist I did not experience the same familiarity as some of the other patrons, it seems that they do have some regulars and absolutely dote on them.

Just terrible because we were party of more than 5. They are like we don’t have table, while tables are open and empty.
