Ancient Restaurant Trattoria Bagutto from 1284

Old Bagutto from 1284 (Antica Trattoria Bagutto) is a restaurant in Milan, in the Ponte Lambro district on the eastern outskirts of the city.

It is the oldest restaurant in Italy and the second in Europe, after the Stiftskeller St. Peter in Salzburg (in 803): its name (Berlochium from the Lombard term meaning "place where you eat) appears in a document of exchange of real estate dated to 1284. Its location, at the fourth mile of the Paullese road (road of Roman origin between Milan and Cremona), near a ford that allowed the crossing of the Lambro, also makes it possible to originate more ancient.

It was built in the now disappeared municipality of Morsenchio, on the banks of the Sweeping Canal or Molinara Canal, on which some mills were planted, including the Sweeping Mill, which still exists today.

From the fifteenth century it was owned by the Milanese charitable organization "Posto pio delle Quattro Marie" and the tavern took on different names over time: "Hosteria dei Gamberi" in the fifteenth century, in 1580 "Hostaria delle Quattro Marie alla Canova" (Canova was the name of the nearby farm, always owned by the charitable organization.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century it passed to the Durini counts, then to the Ranieri family and in 1780 to the Merlini family. In 1807 Napoleon I would have stopped there when he appointed Francesco Melzi d'Eril as Duke of Lodi. In 1871 it passed to the Counts and in 1894 it was bought by Mosè Mandelli, to whose descendants it still belongs.

The structure retains a sixteenth-century fireplace.
