Where to eat
Restaurant near the apartment.
And not only (work in progress to keep the guide updated)
Just 5 minutes walk from the home, one of the best Milanese restaurant. Here you can find a menu "a la carte" and a menu with regional specialties written in Milanese dialect.
Managed since the beginning (1850) by the same family, the Anzaghi family, it is elegant but not pretentious, and the atmosphere is cozy and warm.
Traditionally furnished and old-style, it is really an exceptional restaurant.
The restaurant has a beautiful inner garden where to eat in summer, far from the traffic.
My suggestion? When you book, ask a table near the garden windows.
Interesting: here you can book the "schiscetta", thatas it is called the take-away in Milanese dialect. A different way to taste Milanese cuisine at home.
You can find all info on the website lapobbia.com

180 meters far from the apartment, a restaurant usually appreciated by my foreign guests.
It is less expensive than the restaurant La Pobbia. Obviously, the level is not the same.
If it is your first time in Italy it could be a good place where to taste Italian cuisine.
My personal opinion: a little bit pretentious. The website is really better than that of La Pobbia, but it does not actually respect the reality. As regards quality, you can find some good dishes (usually the typical Neapolitan plates, for instance "zucchine alla scapece"), but others are not so special (too oil, not harmonized consistencies...).
Please, when reading this comment take into account that I have a good level of cooking knowledge, and I am therefore very critical.

15-minutes walk from the apartment (1.3 km) there is the Portello Park (also called Alfa Romeo Industry Park), a 35,504 m2 park built in 2012 that occupies part of the Portello area on which the historic Alfa Romeo factory once stood; for this reason was named in 2015 to the automotive factory.
The park is very particular: it is structured starting from a series of circular spatial lines that constitute the construction lines for the three "green sculptures": "Mound1", "Mound2", "Mound3", which, with the small garden called " Time Garden ”, represent different scans of time: Prehistory, History, the Present and individual time.
A perfect place to run, to cycle, to rest, to read a book...
