Eat like a local This restaurant is off the beaten path so you can be sure to eat with the locals like the locals. We had tongue for starters, I'm not a fan but my husband is, and it was very good. Then we shared a suggestion for the day that was Pork with Pollenta, and for"contorno" we had the Ratatouille. Everything was wonderful Finally, of course, coffee and Tiramisu. Amazing. The service is very friendly and they have a very good wine selection

Arrived with no reservation (I don’t recommend this at all) we were lucky and got seated after waiting for a short while. Food was 10/10 I highly recommended the Risotto and Ossobuco, very tender meat and well cooked risotto. The pork pasta was on the specials menu which was also very nice, the pork milanese was nice but lacked some sides and when requesting gravy it wasn’t available

Local trattoria used by local people. Great atmosphere. Great food. Very good prices. Attentive and good service even though it was very busy at lunchtime

Great food and great service! I had an amazing evening in Trattoria Madonnina. The ambiance and vibe is special, the chaos warmth and simplicity of Italy is showcased in this not hipster yet amazingly authentic place.

Everything was perfect, very fun to hear that the restaurants original owners wife was from sweden and that there was some swedish signs in the restaurant, very good experience.

I loved this place - the food was delicious and the portions were very large. The ambiance was exceptional. We had some pacing issues with our meal, but the staff was very helpful in figuring out a solution.

Ah, a Milanese institution, or so it seems, judging by the sheer, elbow-to-elbow crush of humanity that descends upon it every day. We, by some stroke of luck (or perhaps a well-placed, charming smile), snagged a table at 7pm, a feat I wouldn't recommend attempting without a reservation. The place vibrates with a kind of frenetic energy, the staff a well-oiled machine, deftly managing the throngs with impressive efficiency. They are efficient, and they need to be, as the place is a popular location for a reason. The food, overall, delivers. The veal tongue starter, with its verdant garnish, was a bold, almost confrontational experience, a bit too "farmyard" for my delicate sensibilities. However, the risotto, a saffron-tinged masterpiece studded with sausage and cheese, more than made up for it. It was a plate of pure, unadulterated comfort, a subtle symphony of flavors that danced on the palate. And the pork Milanese? A hefty, golden slab of crispness, a testament to the city’s culinary pride. It was a generous portion, and very well executed. Madonnina is a place where the atmosphere is as much a part of the experience as the food, a bustling, vibrant slice of Milanese life. Just remember to book. Or, you know, perfect your charming smile.

I am really glad that we had the chance to visit this place. The food was incredibly good and the atmosphere was perfect. You can feel the energy of all the history. The pricing was okay. This restaurant is a recommended one for sure. Don’t forget to make a reservation before you go.
