La Pesa, as the Milanese call it, is one of Milan’s most-loved culinary spots and one of the oldest restaurants in town, placed right next to Corso Como’s buzzy nightlife. It also happens to be the exact spot where former Vietnamese president Ho Chi Min used to work as a cook in the 1930’s. You can’t leave Milan without having tried one of their traditional dishes, like the foiolo (Milanese style tripe) or the delicious hot zabaione (egg cream dessert).
