Osteria Del Gnocco Fritto

About

Osteria del Gnocco Fritto is a warm, family‑run trattoria that has been serving authentic Emilian cuisine in the heart of Milan's Navigli district since 1999. The restaurant’s signature dish is the classic gnocco fritto, a soft, freshly‑baked dough that arrives at your table hot and on a wicker basket, accompanied by a range of cured meats, cheeses, and homemade pasta made from locally sourced ingredients. The menu also features regional specialties such as tigelle, pappardelle with wild boar, and a variety of fresh sauces. Inside, the osteria offers a cozy atmosphere with four distinct rooms that evoke the feeling of being at home. The décor is simple and inviting, and the staff shares genuine hospitality, making every visit feel personalized. The wine selection focuses on Italian varietals, especially Lambrusco, which pairs beautifully with the hearty dishes. Located at Via Pasquale Paoli 2, 20143 Milano, the osteria opens for dinner every evening from 19:00 to 23:00 and for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 to 14:30. Reservations can be made online through the "Book a Table" page, allowing guests to secure a table during busy periods. Whether you’re a local looking for a hearty meal or a visitor seeking an authentic taste of Emilia‑Romagna in Milan, Osteria del Gnocco Fritto offers a quintessential Italian dining experience in a welcoming setting.
