I was at Rosso Brera restaurant last night for my birthday with some friends, we had a wonderful time, everything was exquisite with quality ingredients and perfect service. At the end of everything we also very much appreciated the limoncello offered by the waiter who was very helpful throughout the evening and was able to advise us perfectly on the proposed dishes. We recommend to the restaurant owner to give him a raise! 😜

Typically Milanese restaurant in Brera although a bit touristy like all the establishments in via Brera and surroundings. There's plenty of outdoor space, the heaters are a plus because in winter you freeze to death. I had been years ago and remembered a delicious appetizer of crostini with raw sausage which I had again with pleasure and then I had a simple beef tartare with mustard and onion. The people with me had a risotto alla milanese and a pasta. We quite enjoyed it.

We had lunch on Christmas and it was an excellent experience. We had obviously booked and requested a table inside. The owner kindly accommodated us. Despite the restaurant being completely full and there being only one waiter in our table area, the waiter's attention and courtesy was excellent. A bit of a wait for the dishes but all understandable and the wait was worth it. We had: a risotto alla milanese, a pacchero with crispy guanciale sauce (excellent) and beetroot gnocchetti with turnip greens and sausage (delicious). For the main course: cotoletta alla milanese, meatballs in sauce and fennel salad with pomegranate and orange, plus a plate of green beans. All accompanied by glasses of wine whose pairing was recommended by the waiter. Very positive experience in a historic restaurant and district.

Rosso Brera Restaurant is a true gem in the heart of Milan! As soon as you enter, you are welcomed by a warm atmosphere with attention to detail, which combines elegance and comfort impeccably. The staff is extremely friendly and professional, always attentive but never intrusive: they make you feel like a truly special guest. The quality of the food is exceptional, very fresh ingredients, dishes prepared with care and presented impeccably. From appetizer to dessert, everything is simply perfect.

We went to Rosso Brera for lunch, nice place with outdoor tables, the staff is kind and helpful but, let's get to the food. We start with an appetizer of various cured meats, cheeses and a tartare, fantastic, then we opt for the Cotoletta orecchia d'oro, very tender and delicious, it was so large that we had to leave a few pieces. To finish the usual coffee, good. Rosso Brera is worth trying.
