As is suggested by the use of the definite article before its name, Il Cairoli is a modern hotel restaurant with its own entrance. The menu here features classic Milanese specialities such as mondeghili meatballs, ossobucco risotto and veal cutlets, as well as other delicious and colourful dishes that are contemporary in style and based on the use of seasonal ingredients. There are also a few vegetarian options, as well as daily specials at midday, when a quicker and cheaper lunch option is available. An attractive dining room with large picture windows boasting views (albeit partial) of the Sforza castle adds to the appeal.
