The top trattoria trip for food-lovers

Midnight Snack.

Driving your rented car around Lombardy will make you discover splendid lakes, medieval cities and majestic mountains. But you can’t just tour the roads of the Northern region of Italy without savouring its food, one of the best in the world. That means, you will have to head to a trattoria, a typical restaurant offering local food at bargain prices.

Your followers need to understand how just awesome your life is

After taking some super natural selfies in front of the Duomo, the Scala and the Last Supper painting, you can keep on promoting your perfect lifestyle at the Antica Trattoria della Pesa one of the oldest restaurants in Milan. This family-owned trattoria serves a delicious “Ossobuco” in a delightful antique setting. Whatever you choose, everything will look incredible, even with no filter.

You want to cherish your belly

If walking through Varese, the city home to the Sacro Monte di Varese (“the Sacred Mountain of Varese”) is too much for you, hop in your rented car for a 30-minute drive to the hilltop village of Jerago. At Vecchia Osteria Monte Rosa, the Bistecca alla Fiorentina  will make you swoon while you discreetly undo the top button of your dad jeans.

You are travelling without your quinoa-obsessed boyfriend

You will call to tell him Bergamo’s medieval Città Alta is a must-see. You will send him pictures of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.
