Italians treat food as an art, so it shouldn't surprise you that there is an astounding number of exquisite eateries in Milan serving not only traditional Italian food but also various cuisines from all over the world. Either you're a fan of traditional Italian pizza and pasta, or you'd rather have sushi or a burrito for lunch, you'll find it all in Milan. Also, taste the local specialities: Piccata Milanese – slices of fried chicken with a delicious sauce, and Risotto alla Milanese – prepared with saffron, onions and white wine, a dish that is often served in Milan as the first course. Before going to a restaurant in Italy, be sure to check its opening hours as the Italians never forget about their siesta. More or less between 2 and 5pm most restaurants are closed.
