In a city full of fashion models in Michelin-starred restaurants, working-class da Pino offers the perfect antidote. Sit elbow-to-elbow at packed wooden tables and enjoy hearty plates of bollito misto (mixed boiled meats), sausages and potatoes, and comforting classic pastas. Arrive early or prepare to queue.
