An icon of 1930s art deco in the heart of Milan. Villa Necchi was built by Pietro Portaluppi for the Necchi Campiglio family, which belonged to the Lombard industrial bourgeoisie. 

Charming place where to find books, wine, music, exhibitions and talks. My favourite bit is the lovely little backyard.

Absolutely delicious pastries and one of the best cappuccino in town.

Wine bar serving a great selection of wines by the glass and bottle, alongside a selection of small plates. Lovely interior and friendly staff. Booking suggested.

Tiny traditional restaurant with no reservations. Delicious traditional Milanese food, all cooked in their tiny kitchen. Always a queue so arrive early!
