About this spot
Il Capestrano – Ristorante abruzzese is one of the best spots in Porta Romana, Milan. Skip the places with photos on the sidewalk — this is where locals actually eat.
💡 Tips before you go
- 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
