Lombardy (Milan’s region) cuisine has a distinct culinary identity that very often differs from what we consider classic Italian food. The recipes are often richer, made with butter, cream or cheese, reflecting the region’s cooler climate, and agricultural and local traditions.
Whatever the dish, you’ll find a deep connection to Italy’s Cucina Povera, whose hearty dishes made from humble ingredients are often served right alongside more refined dishes. Look out for these northern Italian delicacies as you visit Milan and its surroundings.
