Tucked away in a side street just a short stroll from Porta Romana, Dongiò is one of the best value-for-money restaurants in Milan. Inside, the space is divided into two cosy, warmly lit nooks where tables covered in pristine white linen jostle with dark mahogany chairs. This trattoria specialises in Calabrian cuisine, offering dishes flavoured with the spicy aromas of the south. All the pasta on served up here is made in-house. With an excellent wine list and an interesting selection of grappas, Dongiò is full almost every night of the week. Booking in advance is strongly recommended
