Time Out

"His version of the Milan classic risotto alla Milanese con ossobuco (saffron risotto with braised veal shank) is silky smooth and vivid in both color and flavor."

Luciano Pignataro

"Do not miss the risotto Milanese with ossobuco, done the way God intended."

Katie Parla

"His risotto alla Milanese (with saffron and bone marrow) is considered the best in town."

Stefania Pianigiani

"The classic of the Milanese tradition turned out to be damn tasty. You can taste the generous amount of saffron and the rice is well-cooked."

Hotels We Love

"Rice dishes are their speciality – try the saffron risotto, a Milan classic."

Luca Formenti

"Perfectly balanced dish with excellent acidity, al dente, the creamy consistency is excellent and not excessively greasy."

Andrea Oschetti

"Try Ratana, which sets the scene in a beautiful building with a spacious terrace. The signature yellow risotto alla Milanese here is enough for four people, thanks to a hefty helping of ossobuco. This is the one place I always go to eat [with my family] when I go back to Milano."

Sauce Milan

"His risotto alla Milanese is arguably the best in the city."

Zosia Swidlicka

"It’s fairly straightforward to find a well-made Risotto alla Milanese in town, but Battisti’s dishes are refreshing reinterpretations of traditional recipes, perhaps adding just one ingredient or removing another altogether."

Paolo Rossi

"Chef of Ratanà (and his risotto alla milanese that is the best on the Milanese square)."
