Il Milanese brings Northern Italian cooking to North Center, in the Lincoln Square area of Chicago. The menu leans on classic regional dishes: warm fava beans with pecorino and black truffle, beef carpaccio, and truffle risotto, alongside a fried endive salad with pear, Gorgonzola, caramelized walnuts, and honey.
Desserts stay traditional, with tiramisu served alongside berries and a pistachio panna cotta finished in chocolate. The bar pours house cocktails including the San Babila Old Fashioned and the Blossom Spritz.
Regulars point to warm, attentive service from Carlo and the team as part of what keeps them coming back, alongside the cooking itself.
