Indonesian restaurants are rare in Milan. Cingapura (above) is the closest, and the Indonesian community's events are where home food usually appears (see Communities).

Milanese food to try

Risotto alla milanese (saffron), often served with ossobuco (braised veal shank).
Cotoletta alla milanese: a breaded veal chop on the bone, fried in butter.
Cassoeula in winter: pork and savoy cabbage stew.
Panzerotti from Luini near the Duomo, and panettone at Christmas.
Aperitivo from about 18:00 to 21:00: a drink comes with snacks, sometimes a full buffet. Isola, Navigli and Porta Venezia are the busy areas.
Book ahead on Friday and Saturday nights. Many places close one day a week (often Sunday evening or Monday) and much of August.
