Porta Romana

.:. Esperides

The traditional Greek menu is not too 'heavy': after appetizers with yoghurt, feta cheese, olives and vegetables the choice is between rich salads, meat and fish dishes and an assortment of cheeses. There is a good variety of typical desserts, liquors and wines as well. The quality of the menu makes up for the atmosphere, which lacks traditional "Mediterranean" warmth and intimacy.

Rovereto

.:. Mongolian Barbecue

A generous buffet of Chinese and Japanese food (such as noodles, rice and sushi), along with meat and fish cooked there and then on a griddle. You can eat as much as you want for a set price but anything left over will cost you an additional 5/10 Euros. The two little rooms are often crowded...booking in advance is a good idea.

Moscova

.:. Shiva

Since 1997, this Indian restaurant has stood out for its traditional Tandoor oven, its good selection of Italian wines and excellent sauces. Meals come to a deliciously flavoursome end with a "cocktail" of seeds, spices and raisins to chew on. A gracious welcome in three softly lit rooms (one for smokers).

One of the best known Eritrean restaurants in Milan. The main course comes as a single helping for two people (a vegetarian version is also available): spiced meat and vegetables served on the typical thin, spongy bread called em>ingerà, which is used instead of cutlery. Try the dessert made of sesame and the tea with cinnamon and cloves.
