Osso buco, or ossobuco in Italian, is a hearthy, well-known dish of braised veal shanks in a rich tomato sauce that is served as the main course of a meal. Because it is generally associated with the area around Milan, it is frequently called Osso buco alla Milanese. In Milan's dialect oss bus means "bone with a hole."
