Mondeghili, the Milan of the past, today

Mondeghili are a recipe for recycling, like many meatballs, and are made starting from leftovers of cooked meat, such as braised or boiled, mixed with stale bread and what is available. Breaded, they are then fried in a pan, once in butter, and flattened like small burgers. Today the recipe is different, it starts from fresh meat, but does not lose its soul; and not even the cabbage, a classic of Lombard cuisine "Obviously these ingredients can be replaced with what we have in the refrigerator these days or other ingredients that are left to us, such as cotechino, boiled meat, salami …". Creativity is also this.

Antica Trattoria del Gallo: a happy Sunday – Italian Cuisine


The trips out of town those where you get up from the table satulated and happy … here is a special address

After years I found that I was looking for a perfect restaurant for Sunday lunch slightly outside the door. He brought us a friend whom I thank again (Yup Mario, it's really you thanks). Si located in Vigano Certosino, in the southern agricultural park East from Milan (direction Abiategrasso). As soon as you get off the highway, a little bit of land to the right and left here is the place, low construction, here is the Antica Trattoria del Gallo. Family atmosphere, warm atmosphere, all very clean, white and reassuring tablecloth, beautiful smiles. Two families, mine and that of friends, big table. Seguiamor they who are regular customers and order fried potatoes, among the best in my life or cut like the ones in the package but delicious and light, high-level frying. I order a lasagna, chicken deviled my him, the must of the house, the proposal for children with cutlet and fries (Leonardo skyrocketing with joy), the Russian salad of which I am extremely good maniac. In the meantime, I meet Eugenio Boer with his partner who eats normal and non-gourmet things (always a good sign when you meet chefs of great stature in a restaurant outside the door).

Antica Trattoria del Gallo

And then finally the cannons arrive, light as the wings of a butterfly. Flavor of the deadly cream, they compete with those of the Cerea brothers who serve you at the end by injecting as much cream as you want with the sac à poche. And then satolli and happy (we tried white wines from Santorini and a Slovenian because the paper it has labels eccellentthe), let's go walking on the road that leads to the Guzzafame farmhouse. A few meters to stretch your legs and lighten not so much the balance as the sense of guilt. But what a happy Sunday!

Ps since it seems to me essential to always indicate the price of a restaurant, we spent three about 130 euros, however, consider that we ordered two bottles of crazy wines.
