We stayed at one of Rick Steves' recommended hotels (Antica Locanda Leonardo) which was very nice, but there weren't any of Rick's recommended restaurants close by. So my wife and I asked around and searched online and found a couple that were within walking distance of the hotel that we very much enjoyed.
Nico Restaurant......Via Terraggio, 20, 20123 Milano MI, Italy
Absolutely delicious traditional Italian food with a VERY friendly and helpful staff
Large portions, very reasonable prices for both the food and the wine selection
We enjoyed a couple of the pasta dishes and of course the Tiramisu.Larky's
Terrific small shop to stop for a quick afternoon sandwich, snack and a spritz
We were in the mood for a meat and cheese board one time and they just threw one together for us even though it wasn't something that was already on the menu.
Hope that this helps some of the folks that are staying in that area.
