Craving proper Milanese food? Risoelatte is the answer to your prayers. Set in a cozy, 60's inspired location (complete with an original and working jukebox), Risoelatte is the perfect answer to the eternal 'what to do for Sunday lunch' questions.

It's a very laid back bar located in Chinatown, that serves also food. I have designed this bar with Roberto Marone, who is one of the owners and we took inspiration from our various travels. It's a very cozy, almost homely place and a perfect spot to hang out.
