Al Garghet

What a wonderful dining experience! Such a beautiful change from city restaurants and such an enjoyable night. Book a table outside in the garden and reserve their signature Veal Milanese Cutlet in advance. Absolutely delicious, tender meat and super crispy breading, and very generous in size! Lovely atmosphere, great service, and such a unique location. Must do when in Milan.

Absolutely loved our dining experience here! The service was exceptional from start to finish — the staff were warm, professional, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was equally impressive: delicious, full of flavor, and served in very generous portions. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. It’s rare to find a place that combines outstanding hospitality with such high-quality cuisine. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Milan, Al Garghet offers a cozy, rustic setting that feels like a countryside escape. The warm, candlelit atmosphere is matched by exceptional service — attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. The menu is a true tribute to traditional Milanese cuisine, from the iconic cotoletta alla milanese to rich, comforting risottos. Every dish is prepared with care, using high-quality ingredients and staying true to classic recipes. If you’re seeking an authentic and heartwarming Milanese dining experience, Al Garghet is a must.

Absolutely adorable restaurant which I would love to visit again if I go to Milan. It has the nice rustic romantic and cozy vibes and with so many cute details. The food was good too, recommend the eggplant dish! 😋

Al Garghet – A Hidden Gem Near Milan (Make Sure to Book!) We recently visited Al Garghet, just outside Milan, and what an experience it was! A place that truly feels like you're visiting your grandmother’s house—if your grandmother happened to be a world-class Italian cook. First off, make a reservation! The place is huge, yet fully packed, a true testament to how loved it is. We hadn’t booked in advance, but the kind lady who greeted us went out of her way to find us a table for three. Her warm hospitality really set the tone for the afternoon. The service was excellent, and the food… absolutely incredible. It's almost unfair to compare it to a home-cooked meal—unless your nonna can whip up a perfect Pavlova, a creamy Tiramisù, or a massive Cotoletta alla Milanese that literally spills off the edges of a very large plate. Speaking of the Cotoletta, even if you come starving, it’s a serious challenge to finish it. Thankfully, they’re so thoughtful—they pack up whatever’s left for you to take home. We also had Vitello Tonnato, among other dishes, and everything was bursting with flavor. You’d expect Italian food to be good, of course, but this was on a whole different level—ten times better and completely authentic. No doubt about it: I’ll be back. There are still so many dishes on the menu I want to try. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly special Italian dining experience just outside the city.
