Trattoria Casa Fontana - 23 Risotti
About
Trattoria Casa Fontana – 23 Risotti is a charming family‑run restaurant tucked into Piazza Carbonari in the heart of Milan, where the classic Milanese culinary tradition is celebrated with passion and authenticity. The menu is built around a single star ingredient – rice – and showcases an impressive assortment of risotto varieties, from the delicate rosemary‑and‑sparkling‑wine risotto made with local rosemary harvested near the Curone Park, to the bold, pepper‑savory “DUE MONDI” that pays homage to the Mediterranean flavors that inspired its creator, Sergio Fontana. The dining experience is designed for those who appreciate the artistry of Italian cuisine. Each plate is paired thoughtfully with a curated list of Italian wines, with sommelier‑curated suggestions ranging from a crisp Pinot Noir of Oltrepò Pavese to a sweet Fiano di Avellino, ensuring every bite is complemented by the perfect glass. Season‑specific “take‑away” menus for holidays such as Christmas and New Year add a festive touch, while the atmosphere remains warm, casual, and welcoming to families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Beyond its signature risotto offerings, Casa Fontana boasts a carefully selected antipasti selection and a range of second courses that showcase the best of Italian comfort food, all prepared in a kitchen that echoes the legacy of the Chef’s family. The restaurant’s respect for tradition is matched only by its commitment to inclusivity, offering gluten‑free options, vegetarian fare, and highchairs whenever requested. Whether you’re a culinary aficionado or a casual guest looking for a genuinely Franco‑Italian experience, Trattoria Casa Fontana delivers a thoughtfully crafted menu, attentive service, and the authentic flavor profile that has earned it a loyal following within Milan’s vibrant food scene.
