Da Giannino - L'Angolo d'Abruzzo, Milan: Authentic Abruzzo Cuisine with a Bib Gourmand Touch

A Family Legacy from Abruzzo to Milan

Just steps from Porta Venezia, Da Giannino – L'Angolo d'Abruzzo brings the heart of the Abruzzo region to Milan. Founded in 1965 by the Calasanzio family and now run with passion by Giannino and Franco, this trattoria has built a reputation for honest, flavour-packed cooking over six decades.

The menu reads like a love letter to the region: tris di chitarra, schiaffoni and gnocchi – handmade pastas that speak of Sunday lunches. Agnello al forno all'Abruzzese with potatoes and the iconic arrosticini (skewered lamb) are not just dishes but traditions on a plate. Antipasti such as ventricina, capocollo, and olive ascolane set the tone for a meal rooted in the land.

The Michelin Bib Gourmand 2026 award confirms what regulars already know: this is good-quality cooking at a fair price. The recognition reflects the family's steady hand and the genuine ingredients that define authentic Abruzzo cuisine.

The space itself is unpretentious, welcoming – a place where the warmth of the hosts matches the intensity of the flavours. Whether you come for a plate of chitarra or a full feast, Da Giannino offers a genuine taste of Abruzzo in the heart of Milan.
