Antica Trattoria della Pesa

Antica Trattoria della Pesa is a celebrated landmark of Milanese culinary tradition, offering an authentic experience of Lombardy’s rich gastronomic heritage. Located in the heart of Milan, the trattoria is one of the oldest in the city, dating back to the 19th century. For many years, it stood at the site where goods arriving from outside the city were weighed for customs duties before entering through the old Porta Comasina, now known as Porta Garibaldi. Over the decades, the restaurant has been a gathering place for both local personalities and international guests, adding to its storied legacy.

The restaurant’s owners, the Sassi family, are dedicated to preserving the space’s authentic charm, keeping the original furnishings intact. The interior features traditional elements like ceramic stoves, terrazzo floors, and vintage signage, creating an atmosphere that transports guests back in time. The cuisine remains firmly rooted in Milanese and Lombard traditions, offering carefully crafted dishes that reflect the region’s rich flavors.
