Maccheroni La Carbonara N1 di Milano

Maccheroni stands on Via San Carpoforo in Brera and calls itself La Carbonara N°1 di Milano — the number one carbonara in Milan. That is a claim rather than a title, and the restaurant is direct about staking it, which is a reasonable thing to know before you walk in: carbonara is the dish it wants to be judged on.

The wider idea is domestic cooking taken seriously. The house describes it as the flavours of home, the way they used to be — but better: the dishes a mother and a grandmother would have cooked, rebuilt with the technique of a professional kitchen. In practice that means a short menu of Italian classics rather than a survey of the regions, and it is the difference between a trattoria and a restaurant doing trattoria food.

It opens every day from half past twelve until half past ten at night, straight through with no afternoon break. Tables can be booked through the restaurant's own site, by telephone, or by e-mail.

Via San Carpoforo is a quiet street in the middle of Brera, the old artists' quarter, a few minutes on foot from the Pinacoteca di Brera and from the Lanza metro stop. It is a part of the city where the streets are narrow enough that a restaurant is found rather than passed, which suits this one.

You will find Maccheroni at Via San Carpoforo 7, 20121 Milano.
