From Tradition to Innovation
Don Lisander is a historic restaurant opened in 1947, in the heart of Milan, a hundred steps from Teatro alla Scala. It is named after Alessandro Manzoni, affectionately called by the Milanese, Don Lisander. The inner hall is located in what was once the chapel of Palazzo Trivulzio, whose magnificent garden is still visible from the patio of the restaurant open for lunch and dinner throughout the summer season.

Reviews
Exquisite restaurant with first rate food and service. This is a famous, long-standing landmark in Milano, and for good reason. From the before-dinner drinks, to the antipasto and main course and wine, everything was superb. The best service is that which appears without your asking for anything. They understand that here. The Milanese risotto was perfect and the cotelette superb. When the weather is good, you can sit in their outside area which is quite elegant.Tripadvisor Sep 2019
Fantastic food and atmosphere. My partner and I went there for lunch. The outdoor space was very pleasant and quiet. The food was excellent, and the staff very attentive. Dario took great care of us. We look forward to our next visit.Tripadvisor Sep 2019
Highly Recommend! The restaurant was highly recommended from a local couple my son was staying with and we were very impressed. The outdoor atmosphere was amazing. The risotto and pairings were perfect. I highly recommend the restaurant to any friends in the US that are traveling to Milan. Our waitress Sara was wonderful and fluent in English. We had the pleasure of meeting Stefano Marazzato, the owner, at the end of the night and he was very welcoming and made us feel special.Tripadvisor Aug 2019
