Boeucc
$$$-$$$$, Italian, Milan
User Rating: **** 4.1
Fodor's Review:
Milan's oldest restaurant, opened in 1696, is on the same square as novelist Alessandro Manzoni's house, not far from La Scala. With stone columns, chandeliers, Oriental rugs, and a garden, it has come a long way from its basement origins (boeucc, pronounced "birch," is old Milanese for buco, or "hole"). You'll savor such dishes as penne al branzino e zucchini (with sea bass and zucchini). For desert, try the gelato di castagne con zabaglione caldo (chestnut ice cream with hot zabaglione).

Typical Old Milanese
Posted by ls1970 from Paris, France on 4/9/08
Typical Milanese dishes such as Ossobuco con Risotto in a very elegant ambiance with an excellent service. The desserts come on a tea-cart where you can see them before choosing - and even if you had decided to skip it you won't be able anymore! Expensive but worth it.RATING: 4.6
Special occasion splurge
Posted by Dagger6 from Sacramento, CA on 1/8/08
Went here for a special occasion knowing it would be stuffy and expensive. Great menu, and wide selection of wines. Our mistake was allowing the staff to stick to Engilsh. They dropped a course, and mixed up two entrees all due to translation we think. If you can speak Italian, insist. Still a nice thoroughly Milanese experience.RATING: 3.6
