Ristorante Al Mago
Ristorante Al Mago, housed in a 15th-century Visconti estate, offers a culinary journey through Lombardy’s historical flavors. The kitchen is centered around a monumental fireplace where Stefano Borsotti expertly grills premium meats, infusing them with a deep, wood-fired aroma. The signature 'Duomo' tortelloni are a technical triumph, filled with a rich ossobuco and saffron reduction that pays homage to Milanese tradition. Texture is a key focus, from the silken, hand-rolled fresh pasta to the crisp, golden polenta served with braised eel. The filetto alla cortigiana, cured with lardo, offers a decadent, melt-in-the-mouth experience that is perfectly balanced by the acidity of a well-curated wine list. Presentation is evocative of the medieval setting, with dishes served in an atmosphere of flickering candlelight and ancient tapestries. This is a chef-philosophy led establishment where the passage of time is reflected in the meticulous preservation of ancestral recipes and artisanal techniques.
