Damm-atra Ristorante Milanese: Authentic Milanese Cuisine & Cozy Dining Experience in Milano

They are opening at 7p.m. The service was perfect. Great wine, Tatar with pistacio and cheese sauce...mmm!!! And 2types of risotto....it was amazing supper! Can't eat the dessert because portions was so big. Love this place so much that for sure I'll come back!

I have been specifically excited to write this review, since it is personally one of the best restaurants not only in Milan but ever for me in terms of overall experience, so where should I start? It was recommended to me by a friend who lived in Milan for a long time, the location is great near the Naviglio Grande. You will need to book in advance, as it is usually full. Let me be clear this restaurant has a really cozy warm romantic atmosphere, that is best suited for couples, maybe families, but definitely not very suitable for kids. They have a wide collection of wines, from the basic ones to the very fancy types. I went with my family, we were greated warmly, and we ordered a mixed fried plate as a starter to share which had fried polenta, bread, potato skins and a Gorgonzola cheese dip, it was phenomenal as it makes you drool, waiting for next dishes to come. We ordered cotoletta alla Milanese di vitello which is a fried veal cutlet served with salad, fillet mignon with jacket potatoes, and the famous ossobuco di vitello con risotto alla Milanese which is their signature dish I believe, a veal cut served with bone marrow and lemon risotto. Everything tasted incredible, and the portions were decent. I would definitely recommend the ossobuco dish with risotto, as I found it the perfect meal there. The beef mignon came rare cooked and it would still easily melt in your mouth. The veal cutlet had the perfect thickness and crunch to it and it was huge. For dessert, we ordered Tiramisu and torta contadina, again very tasty and such an amazing treat towards the end of dinner. The prices are of course slightly on the expensive side, but I was never happier to pay for and appreciate such great food. If you are in Milan, do yourself a favor and give this restaurant a visit.

Very nice, cosy, darker interior where we felt very comfortable. We ordered typical milanese food. Ossobuco with milanese risotto and Milanese cotolette. Cotolette was generous portion, a bit dry but very tasty. Ossobuco with risotto was my partner best food he had in Milano. Meat was very soft and full of flavour, same with risotto. Our waitress was very proffesional. We definitely reccommend this restaurant if you want to try typical milanese food in cosy atmosphere.

The receptionist of the hostel where I stayed recommended to me this place to have the traditional dish from Milan, the Risotto a la Milanesse. It was amazing! I highly recommen you to go. The staff was very kind and the atmosphere was very nice too. I did not reserve a table as I went early, but I think that there were many tables already booked.

Damm-atrà is much more than a restaurant; it’s an experience. The establishment boasts a simultaneously warm and cozy yet refined and romantic ambience—but here, you come for the food—and I’m not exaggerating when I say these dishes changed my life. Where do I start? My first taste of the ravioli de zucca was one of the most heavenly bites of my life. Al dente pasta gives way to a creamy, mildly sweet, and buttery pumpkin filling, delicately counterbalanced with Parmesan and savory bits of crispy pancetta. Wildly addicting and absolutely unskippable. The ossobuco di vitello con risotto alla Milanese is another must-try: veal shank nestled in a bed of velvety risotto in a saffron and lemony remoulade. I cannot describe how tender, succulent, and luscious the veal was; you could’ve convinced me it was braised for hours by the gentle hand of Jesus. Crowned as per tradition with a trove of indulgent, umami bone marrow, this dish is a true Milanese classic turned mind-blowing by the geniuses in the kitchen. We wrapped the night up right with the best tiramisu I’ve had in Milan, and probably my whole life: it was delicate and not too sweet with layers of whipped mascarpone that were especially light and fresh. Just divine. We paired this all with a bottle of the house red wine, which was exquisitely dry and mild. If you’re looking to revel in authentic Lombard specialties, I urge you to stop by. Damm-atrà is serving up the Platonic form of Milanese cuisine. Trust me, a meal here will make you fall in love with Italy just a little bit more.

We came all the way for the Ossobuco Con Risotto Milanese after our Duomo Milan tour. The braised veal is so flavorful and well cooked - the meat is so tender! The risotto al Milanese is something else and it’s a great pairing. We also had the Tartare di Marzo and it’s delish with their home made bread. The meal was topped off with their home-made Tiramisu! It was an awesome meal and a great way to finish our last night in Milan! Grazie! I shall be back!

Excellent restaurant with a local feel. Great menu and wine selection. We had the risotto and ravioli, white and red wine, and a fantastic panna cota.

a very attractive dining place with delicious food, especially when eating with friends and acquaintances.
