Verdi (Il), Milan

This small restaurant in Brera has been there for years and is as attractive as ever. The staff - chefs, waiters, and managers - are all discreet and friendly. It is frequented by the well-heeled and is suitable for couples or small groups. The food is very good with delicate but tasty flavours. All the first courses are excellent, the meat dishes are well cooked but there are also large salads and chicken curry. The desserts are made on the premises and are wonderful to look at - do try the chocolate mousse.
