Why it’s in the log
Trattoria Trippa built its name on offal — tripe most obviously, going by the name — with a menu that leans into cuts most restaurants skip rather than softening them for a wider audience. Close to 1,800 reviews in, it's still a neighbourhood workhorse, not a novelty stop.
The room is plain and functional, closer to an old-school osteria than a destination restaurant, which is part of the point: it's built for people coming back, not for a single photo.
Go hungry and go open-minded about the menu — this isn't the place for a safe, familiar Milanese classic if offal isn't your thing.
“Offal done properly, in a room built for locals rather than visitors — the kind of place Milan keeps to itself.”
