Anything in particular not to miss on Uniworld’s 10-day Italy itinerary?

I looked, and neither of the places that we had dinner are near that area. Sorry!

We'll be in Milan for 5 nights in May, staying near the Duomo but willing to go anywhere for a good meal.  We are doing a walking tour of the Naviglio area that includes dinner.  The other nights I haven't researched yet, so I would love to know which places you loved.

Still would love recommendations even out of the immediate area if they were for restaurants that you absolutely loved. Thanks.

Just took another look at the schedule and Row Venice sounds like it could be fun on the last day. Great reviews on TA!

My husband and I did a morning with Row Venice (back in 2014). We really enjoyed our morning learning to row a Batella (slightly bigger than a gondola) through the back canals and out into lagoon. If you get the chance, try it as it is not touristy.

We went to (and enjoyed) Al Cantinone (great risotto), Bice, and Trattoria Milanese (known for veal Milanese, and I still think about their butternut squash ravioli)- I believe a cab was required to get to Bice but the others were in walking distance of the Duomo. We also ate some great pizza just outside of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele but don’t recall the name- I can try to look back on my credit card statement.

So we had three nights there. On the first evening, which was the day our arrival, we went to Eataly and had a light dinner on their outdoor patio. 

 

The second night, we had dinner with Chris's friend at their house. 

 

The last night we had dinner at a place by Naviglio Grande. The restaurant was called Osteria della Darsena and we enjoyed the food very much. Fried squash blossoms, veal chop Milanese, osso bucco, Panna cotta, and Pinot Nero. It was so warm that we put the wine in an ice bucket! 

 

 

 

 

 

Delicious food but obviously very heavy. Luckily we had a decent walk back to the Metro station!
