I think educating on the cultures of how they eat in Milan & researching on the cuisines of the area can really help you plan for better meals on a trip! Something to note is that a lot of the time, these restaurants cater more to the tourists and don’t bother putting their heart & soul into traditional Milanese foods so more often than not, you end up having really subpar food. Definitely need to research for the places that still love what they do, because Italy is such a hugely visited country (even more so Milan). Hope this helps!!
What do I think : well your video is very nice but without being nasty how can someone who drinks capuccino while having food or Fanta (sic) or a cocktail during dinner can properly judge food ? Frankly start applying some good food habits before judging…you drink cappuccino at breakfast, a cocktail before or after a meal and you never drink Fanta !
I happened to watch your video out of curiosity to hear Asian/American opinion on Milan's food and see if you have my same opinion. Well... first Milan is the capital of Italian fashion that means people are better dressed, on average slimmer than Italians in other regions, which is reflected also on the plates which are more beautiful with smaller portion and a little bit overpriced. It's obvious that Milan is not the place for foodies, so if you go to Milan to eat, you will be disappointed. The typical Milan plates (risotto con ossobuco alla milanese and cotoletta) are nice but it's nothing compare to what other Italian regions can offer. When I moved from Parma to live in Milan, I was quite disappointed because food quality is generally lower and more expensive. I saw that you went to luxurious restaurants but most of them are for rich tourists, who, either think that going to expensive places guarantee you to eat well, without realizing that most of price includes brand name, central location and better service, either are mostly searching exactly for these last three qualities. Milan has certantly nice places to eat but you need to search... It has been almost 5 years since I lived in Milan but when I was there I liked eating in these places: 1. "Zio Pesce" for seafood (there are two restaurants in Milan) 2. "El Porteño" for steak (it's an Argentine restaurant) 3. "G.B. Bar" for a fast break with a nice panino in Duomo - the place is small and not high-end but the panini are the best I ate in Milan 4. "Marchesi 1824" for the pastry. I have to be to honest, I tried this pastry for the brand as Marchesi is quite famous in Italy but I returned back because I like it. There are some other places but I don't remember the names and there might be more good places that I haven't been. However, if you want to experience some real Italian food experience, don't go to Milan😅 P.s. I tried Babà in Naple and I didn't like it so I would be surprised if you like the one in Milan 🙃

Paper Moon is definitely a must-try
Need to go to Tuscany or Bologna for great food!
I’ve been to Rome and the food was delicious
