Hostaria La Baita

My dinner at HLB was a wonderful conclusion to a month-long visit to Italy. The last portion of my trip I was solo, so I always experience a little apprehension over that. At HLB, staff welcomed me and provided courteous and attentive service. Because I was in Milan, I opted for Risotto alla Milanese and it did not disappoint. The rice was done perfectly al dente (which I can’t seem to replicate at home) and the saffron flavor delicious. That was followed by an expertly cooked, and tender, sliced entrecôte steak. Mouthwatering! My meal was accompanied by a half bottle of hearty red wine (several were available to pick from), to compliment a very satisfying meal. Grazie mille!

The restaurant ambience, service and food quality was excellent. The presentation of food in the plate was also excellent. The table charges of Euro2.5 per head was very reasonable considering the restaurant is very close to the Milan Centrale station. Overall a very good experience.

I really enjoyed my meal at Hostaria La Baita. I had Risotto alla Milanese (Saffron Milanese rice), followed by Filetto di Branzino con verdure (Sea bass fillet with mix vegetables) and Torta della nonna. Everything was really delicious and the service and atmosphere was lovely. I would definitely go back if in Milan again. The total with alcohol was 60,00 euro

Excellent food service and ambience. Great value for money. Portions were generous and tasty. Prawns starter was great as was veal Milanese which was huge and fillet steak was nice. I ordered this medium rare and it was cooked rare, should have sent back really but was enjoyable. Shared a Tirimisu which was excellent and home made.

The food was delicious and authentic, The atmosphere was lovely, The waiter was attentive but gave us space to enjoy our evening, he had a great sense of humour.
