Osteria degli Artisti

If this isn't the best meal I've had in Italy, then it's very, very close to the top. I spent 3 weeks touring Rome, Umbria, Marche, Veneto, and the wine regions near Florence last year, and 2 weeks touring rural Piedmont and the Tuscan coast this year. This hidden gem was just a 12 minute drive from the Milan airport and we stopped in for dinner on our last night in Italy. The meal blew away absolutely everything our professional tour guides had arranged. The steak tartare with shaved black truffles sitting on a small bed of creamy cheese sauce was just incredible, maybe the best tartar I've ever had. The fried pumpkin and porcini mushrooms were also very, very good. The octopus soup my companion ordered was good, but the Veal Osso Buco with Risotto alla Milanese was the star of the show. The wine list wasn't extensive, but it was good, and the owner recommended an off-menu Tuscan sangiovese for the osso buco and an off-menu botrytized white for the pumpkin tiramisu dessert. Amazing!

Amazing food and phenomenal service from Marco! No better way to end our trip in Italy and if you are staying at the airport in Milan - you must come eat an amazing meal here!

This was our last meal in Italy after 2 weeks before flying home to the US, and this was one of the best meals of the entire trip. Only a 10 minutes by car or taxi from the Malpensa Airport so worth it if you are staying nearby. The owner/chef and waitstaff were extremely welcoming and friendly and made us feel special as guests. And the food was top notch. We had the ravioli followed by the applejack, and the dessert was amazing as well. Highly recommend this gem of a dining experience!

Beautiful environment, excellent food, happy people and very helpful, love to see them again. Recommend them and wish them by best...........

Best italian food we have had in 10 days! Pricy but so worth it! Beef tartar is highly recommended!
