First we should say the flaw, Trattoria Arlati is a bit far away from the city centre and not really easy to get to with public transport. Having said that, it’s the most charming restaurant where we’ve ever been. We always go there and always get the same menu, “Risotto al Salto” and “Ossobuco alla Milanese” of course, and it’s always delicious but is not just the food. In the 60’s it was really popular among artists, in the 70’s bands started to play in the basement and now when you get in you immediately feel it. It’s a charismatic place.

Iconic pasticceria (owned by LVMH) serving beautifully crafted pastries and coffee since 1817. Don't skip on the pistachio croissant!

Home of the negroni sbagliato. God fun for an aperitivo served in a gigantic glass, especially popular during Salone del Mobile.

Classic Milanese restaurant for a special occasion. Definitely try the risotto!

Rotating modern art exhibitions in a complex of. beautifully design/renovated buildings, designed by Rem Koolhaas. Also has a great cafe and restaurant.
