I would suggest Al Girrarrosto in Corso Venezia 31, tel 02 7600 0481, or L'Assassino in Via Amedei 8, tel 02 8056144. First restaurant is closed Saturdays and Sunday lunch, the second is closed Mondays.

very very subjective. I would say that good food in Italy, Milan not being an exception, is very easy to find. Now once you've been in Italy a few months however, you'll notice your standard of "good" will have risen to near impossible heights.

I really like Cracco Peck.

The Milan area is not particularly well known for fish or pasta. It is more of a veal and rice area. no tomato either. a restaurant serving pasta and fish(canned tuna and salt cod excepted) would be considered a foreign restaurant. ie bolognese, or almafi coast or tuscan. the very top end places may have a fish specialty, or stuff a pasta with truffles or caviar or foie.

Peck in the city, or sadler, which I have not attended. in surrounds, the two that lost the 3rd star, gualt. marchesi, and ant.ost.d. ponte.

I found the food to be quite decent, but not really spectacular like in french haut cuisine. I also thought the place around the corner(sic) serving a hell on wheels rissoto to be a much better value and close in quality.

if season, look for a truffle, rissoto parmagino combo.

some of them may have game in season, which would be of interest. I have never been to milan in game season. in game season france is the place to go for dining. the place to go for dining is france in game season. I've been in tuscany in game season. they just kill it and cook it fresh. no prep.

Top restaurants for fish are Il Porto (in the Navigli area, be sure to make a reservation loooong in advance), Riccione and Il Grissino. They also do pasta.

Il Girarrosto and L'Assassino are excellent, rather conservative Tuscan restaurants.

Cracco Peck is tops, Gold (the new Dolce & Gabbana restaurant) is trendiest.

If you would like to try Milanese cooking, the best place is Antica Trattoria della Pesa. But you'll find few locals there, risotto is something we cook at home and rarely our choice when dining out.
