Osteria La Cala

When entering Osteria La Cala guests are welcomed into an elegant, refined and comfortable atmosphere but at the same time also warm and cosy.  This restaurant is situated in the centre of Milan in the Porta Romana area very close to Piazza V Giornate and the Duomo cathedral.  It has a long experience of over 20 years, has been recently renovated internally and is staffed by a competent and very highly qualified staff who are ready to satisfy their customer’s needs.

The inside walls are made of stone and brick, brightly coloured with touches of blue and green.  Here we can find the gift of the artist Rodolfo Viola: his prestigious marine portraits which remind us of the personality of this restaurant, its cuisine, and its land… Sardinia.  The tables – with a total of 70 seats – are set with fine linen, beige and sand colours, along with wine glasses, glasses and shiny cutlery. 

The innovative style, research and contemporaneity mix well with the authentic traditional Sardinian values and chef Michele’s recommendations.  Every creation is carefully prepared with fresh and highly selected food in order for the genuine taste to come through.  The dishes are presented in great detail with imagination and creative inspiration.

    Menù di Natale: solitamente mangi poco e male e paghi molto! In questo caso la situazione si ribalta: abbiamo mangiato molto bene, incluse le cruditee, con un servizio inappuntabile, nonostante i tavoli completamente occupati. Il pesce era fresco e cucinato alla perfezione: considerata la qualità, la varietà e la quantità delle porzioni la spesa sostenuta di 80€ inclusa 1 bottiglia di Vermentino è stata più che soddisfacente. Da ritornarci, vivamente consigliato...
