Da Simone Ristorante Bar

This Isso trattoria anchors its culinary identity in the traditions of Lombardian comfort, where the kitchen’s technical prowess is most evident in its hand-rolled spätzle. These delicate dumplings, bathed in a nutty brown butter emulsion, offer a pillowy texture that contrasts with the rustic depth of the house-made polpettine. The menu transitions into more robust territory with a wild boar stew, where the meat is braised until it yields to the slightest pressure, releasing a deep, gamey aroma enriched by herbs. Each plate is balanced by the earthy sweetness of well-roasted potatoes, their skins charred to a precise crispness. The presentation remains unpretentious, focusing on the integrity of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and the honest execution of regional techniques. It is a study in the enduring appeal of the Italian worker’s lunch, elevated through disciplined seasoning and a commitment to artisanal pasta production.
