Bollito Misto [Mixed boiled meat] is perhaps not the most photogenic dish you could think of. It certainly is a delicacy a gourmand can hardly resist: in this article, food-lovers can find eight restaurants in Milan that are a sure hit
In these days, perhaps not many have thought with sincere and genuine desire about the merry and clattering arrival of the mythical boiled meat cart. This pillar in Piedmontese tradition, adopted by most of Northern Italy, in these peculiarly hot November days perhaps hasn’t found the perfect climate to regain its role in the offer of our restaurants. Yet while we wait for the cold winds to numb us sufficiently, we can start to prepare our minds concretely by noting down a few restaurants that are a sure hit where to taste faithful and inspired takes on this absolute culinary delicacy. At least around Milan. - Al'Less, Viale Lombardia, 28, (+39.02.70635097) The name of this restaurant is rather explanatory. Were it a book, we could say it also had an equally didactic subtitle - “Boiled meat from around the world”. The Gran Bollito Misto is served daily as a single course but the menu clearly offers other specialties too, all coming from the tradition of Piedmont and Lombardy. The average price is 35€ - Dal Bolognese, Via degli Amedei, 8, (+39.02.62694845) This historic establishment – especially in Rome, but since 2005 in Milan too – a few years ago found a new location where once was another historic restaurant in town, L'Assassino. It’s always been a place dedicated to the mundane, where to notice some famous faces. It has also always dedicated a space in its menu to the boiled meat cart. The average price is 65€
