Ok, in case anyone ever comes to this forum again and wants to know:

Trattoria dell'Orso
Via Ciovasso, 5

(02)86463400

Papa, Mama, and son run the place, turns out they lived in NY for a few years.

I strongly recommend the warm octopus salad and I am told the lamb chops were wonderful (don't care for lamb myself). The desserts were merely passable, but the wine list was very good and quite reasonably priced.

Less than €120 for two; three courses plus coffee and an excellent Barbera d'Alba.
