Osteria del Treno

Milan


This Slow Food osteria (tavern) with its Liberty-style ballroom is a piece of Milanese history, built as a club for railway workers at the nearby Stazione Centrale. Self-service lunches showcase a variety of Presidio-protected cheeses, cured meats and simple, authentic pasta dishes. Dinner is a more formal affair and on Sunday nights a milonga (tango) takes place in the ballroom.
