Like most cities in Italy, Milan has developed its own local culinary tradition, which, as it is typical for North Italian cuisines, uses more frequently rice than pasta, butter than [[vegetable oil]] and features almost no tomato or [[Fish as food|fish]]. Milanese traditional dishes includes ''[[cotoletta|cotoletta alla milanese]]'', a breaded veal (pork and turkey can be used) cutlet pan-fried in butter (similar to Viennese [[Wiener Schnitzel]]). Other typical dishes are ''[[cassoeula]]'' (stewed pork rib chops and sausage with [[Cabbage|Savoy cabbage]]), ''[[ossobuco]]'' (braised [[veal]] shank served with a condiment called ''[[gremolata]]''), ''[[risotto|risotto alla milanese]]'' (with [[saffron]] and beef marrow), ''busecca'' (stewed [[tripe]] with beans), ''[[mondeghili]]'' ([[meatballs]] made with leftover meat fried in butter) and ''brasato'' (stewed beef or pork with wine and potatoes).

Season-related pastries include ''chiacchiere'' (flat fritters dusted with sugar) and ''tortelli'' (fried spherical cookies) for [[Carnival]], ''colomba'' (glazed cake shaped as a dove) for Easter, ''pane dei morti'' ("bread of the (Day of the) Dead", cookies flavoured with [[cinnamon]]) for [[All Souls' Day]] and [[panettone]] for Christmas. The ''salame Milano'', a [[salami]] with a very fine grain, is widespread throughout Italy. Renowned Milanese cheeses are [[gorgonzola]] (from the [[Gorgonzola, Milan|namesake]] village nearby), [[mascarpone]], used in pastry-making, [[taleggio cheese|taleggio]] and quartirolo.

The ''[[comune]]'' of [[San Colombano al Lambro]], located about {{convert|40|km}} south-east of Milan, is home to the ''[[Denominazione di origine controllata]]'' (DOC) wine which includes 100 hectares (250 acres) producing a single red wine. The finished wine must attain a minimum [[alcohol level]] of 11% to be [[labelled (wine)|labelled]] with the San Colombano DOC designation.<ref name="Saunders">P.
