The story
In May 2018, Patrizia and her sons took over a centuries-old courtyard in Trezzano sul Naviglio, just minutes from Milan’s western ring road. The property – originally a castle built around 1380 and later a summer residence of Ludovico il Moro – became the home of Osteria del Ponte. The Meazza Angelillo family restored the spaces with respect for the past: exposed brick, original terracotta floors where possible, and an airy, shabby-chic aesthetic that feels both lived-in and deliberate.
The kitchen stays close to the recipes that have shaped Lombardy’s table. “Every dish tells a story made of genuine ingredients, expert hands, and a deep connection with local gastronomic culture,” the restaurant writes. Milanese cuisine here is expressed with character and without excess – faithful to the territory’s identity. The Michelin inspectors have taken notice, awarding Osteria del Ponte a Recommended rating for 2026, a quiet nod to the family’s consistent, rooted cooking.
The restaurant’s seven rooms – Veranda, Camino, Mezzanino, and others – each hold no more than five tables, keeping the atmosphere intimate and calm. Together they seat over 100 guests indoors, with an additional 20–30 places under the portico and 50–60 in the garden during the warmer months. The setting is one of understated charm: brick arches, soft lighting, and a sense that the space has evolved naturally over time. Whether for a weekday lunch or a private event, Osteria del Ponte offers a Milanese meal that feels personal, unhurried, and deeply connected to its place.
