  Such amazing food. The costoletta is unbelievably tender and crispy at the same time. The beat I've ever had. The decor is kitschy and you feel like you're at nonas house.

  This is a tough review to make as the reviews I have read are outstanding. I surely hope I just caught this restaurant on a bad night and/or ordered the wrong dish. My girlfriend and I visited Risoelatte on our last night in Italy after spending two weeks traveling throughout the country, including Sicily, Venice, Cinque Terre and finally Milan. We both consider ourselves to be "foodies" and had many outstanding meals throughout the trip. We hoped to finish on a positive note after the many positive reviews we read about Risoelatte. We were fortunate, or at least we thought, to get a table at this restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but special.
  
  The 1960s theme of the restaurant provides a great vibe and atmosphere for dinner. However, the positive review stops here. I understand this is a family run restaurant, but the waitress appeared overwhelmed all night. There was one waitress for the entire restaurant, which I believe encompassed around 15-20 tables. It took almost a half hour before we were even able to place our order. We placed our order for the local specialty of Risotto alla Milanese and wine. We were informed this would take around a half hour to cook (completely understandable and refreshing that it was made from scratch) and should order an appetizer. We quickly decided on an appetizer, but no one returned to our table until the main course arrived a half hour later. We were left to munch on extremely hard bread that was challenging to eat. So much for ordering an appetizer.
  
  The meal arrived and did not come close to meeting our expectations. The risotto had an awful aftertaste and the taste resembled a box of Craft Macaroni & Cheese. Although we believe it was authentically prepared, it tasted terrible. We were not asked once how our meal was and our table was never cleared. After finishing our meal and sitting for about ten minutes, we walked to the register to pay. The owner took our money and never asked once how our meal was despite the fact that we overheard him conversing with other customers and even offering them an aperitif following their meal. We were not offered an aperitif, despite the fact that the menu stated it was included in the 3 Euro copertito.
  
  Perhaps we just caught this restaurant on a bad night as there are many positive reviews, but I can easily say it was the worst meal we had during our travels through Italy. I would advise looking elsewhere for a special meal in Italy as this restaurant left a bad taste in our mouths, both literally and metaphorically.

  GREAT food, decent service. I had the Beeg Tagliatelle and the food was amazing. Also, the vibe int his restaurant is awesome  - they make you feel like your eating dinner at your Grandma's house! Check it out!!

  We came here for lunch today since they were fully booked for dinner last night. Yes, we're that adamant about trying this restaurant.
  
  We ordered ravioli with pesto sauce, risotto ossobuco, and risotto with apples and speck (Italian cured meat).  Everything was delicious!!!  Seriously, the Italians sure know how to make risotto.  This is something very difficult to find in North America.
  
  The texture of the rice was creamy and not too thick. The grain was plump and tasted softer than al dente.  And of course, you can't go wrong with pasta.  We also tried their tiramisu.  It was alright.
  
  Service was decent and by the way you pay at the front counter.  The owner is really nice.  Happy Eating!

  Wonderful restaurant with real homie feeling.
  The atmosphere is achieved through 70s decoration items.
  The menu is simple and straight forward with excellent quality groceries, as it should be in classical Italian cuisine. The menu items vary from Italian well known classics to Lombardian ones.
  
  The staff is very kind, fast and helpful. They have menus in various languages.
  
  It gets crowded. Better to either book a table or be early.
