Going out in Milan

alcatraz! rolling stones, karma! to name a feww

My recommendations:

- best pizza (and possibly cheapest restaurant in Milan): Piccola Ischia (three locations, via Morgagni, viale Abruzzi, viale Umbria)

- best gelato: Rinomata (where Naviglio Grande and Pavese meet)

- best Milanese restaurant (you gotta try authentic Milan/Lombardy food since you're here): Osteria Il Gatto Nero (at Ortica, old style Milan restaurant, not classy and no frills, but not cheap either) and Osteria del Binari (via Tortona, fashion/design street in Porta Genova area, might be expensive or not, very nice, good service, great food)

- best Brazilian churrascaria: Rio's (most overhyped: Picanha's)

- best live music place: Nidaba Theatre in via Gola (blues, rock blues, country, folk, rock'n'roll)

- best aperitivo: Art Factory (@ Caiazzo), Puerto Alegre (on Sunday evening, dj&dance after 10pm)

- cafeteria with best view of the city: Rinascente 7th floor

- best bars with free entrance: Ragoo, Rocket, Atomic

Rolling Stones has moved from its original location.

Another good microbrewery is "Giardino della Birra", where meat is very good, too.

Irish pub: I recommend Pogue Mahone's, in via Salmini, right by Piazzale Medaglie d'Oro (Porta Romana). Very good Irish brunch and great atmosphere during Six Nations Rugby games.
English pub: you should find some Brits, especially during soccer and rugby games at the English Football Pub in via Valpetrosa (via Torino) or at 4-4-2 in via Procaccini.
