Ristorante Rigolo

Rigolo was founded in 1958 by Sivaldo and Silvano Simoncini, two Tuscan brothers from Chiesina Uzzanese, the birthplace of many historical Milanese restaurateurs.
At that time, you entered the world of work at the age of twelve: experience was the form to learn and in the kitchen you could discover all the secrets of those who had years of culinary experience.
The hours in the restaurant were many - as were the sacrifices - and loves usually met more easily in the workplace. This was also the case for the two brothers who, with their wives Vilma and Franca, began the Rigolo in Brera at a very young age. Renato, Sivaldo's son, followed in his parents' footsteps, accompanying them between the tables since he was a child, sometimes telling the poems he learned at school and that customers like Montale and Ungaretti asked him to decant.
Today, with curiosity, passion and dedication Renato runs Rigolo together with his mother Vilma. With the desire to share with you the next goal: the 60 years of "history" of the Rigolo.
