Do I need reservations?

Touristy areas: book or face a wait. Neighborhood trattorias: walk in. Remember dinner starts at 20:00.

Bel Belè — Isola, Milan

Bel Belè is one of the best spots in Isola, Milan. Skip the places with photos on the sidewalk — this is where locals actually eat.

Coperto (cover charge) of 1-3€ is normal, not a scam
You don't have to order all courses — a primo (pasta) alone is perfectly fine
Dinner doesn't start until 20:00. Restaurants open earlier are usually tourist traps.
Don't order cappuccino after 11am — espresso or macchiato instead
