Antica Trattoria Bagutto is a restaurant in Milan, in the Ponte Lambro neighborhood on the eastern outskirts of the city.
It is the oldest restaurant in Italy and the second oldest in Europe, after the Stiftskeller St. Peter in Salzburg, whose origins date back to 1284.

Berlochium, from the Lombard term meaning "place where one eats," appears in a property exchange document dated 1284.
Its location, at the fourth mile of the Strada Paullese (a road of Roman origin between Milan and Cremona), near a ford that crossed the Lambro River, suggests an even older origin.

It was located in the now-defunct municipality of Morsenchio, on the banks of the Spazzòla or Molinara canal, which housed several mills, including the Spazzòla mill, which still exists today.

From the 15th century onwards, it was owned by the Milanese charitable organization "Luogo Pio delle Quattro Marie," and the inn took on various names over time:

"Hosteria dei Gamberi" in the 15th century,
"Hostaria delle Quattro Marie alla Canova" in 1580 (Canova was the name of the nearby farm, also owned by the charitable organization).

At the beginning of the 18th century, it passed to the Durini counts, then to the Ranieri family, and in 1780 to the Merlini family.
In 1871, it passed to the Counts and in 1894, it was purchased by Mosè Mandelli, whose descendants still own it.

The building retains a 16th-century fireplace.
