Browsing through the restaurants of the multi-million dollar city of Milan is like being in a clover meadow in summer and trying to describe each of the plants. It is therefore only possible to describe a few of these representatives of Italian cuisine.
Obicà Duomo
Obicà Restaurant Duomo is located on the 7th floor of the Rinascente Milan in Piazza Duomo, opposite Milan's imposing Gothic cathedral. Here guests can enjoy fresh Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, pizzas and traditional Italian dishes in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
The restaurant is dedicated to mozzarella in all its forms, such as a creamy burrata. While enjoying the food, your eyes are drawn to the impressive view of the cathedral.
Vun
With two Michelin stars, the Vun restaurant at Via Silvio Pellico 3 stands out from the crowd and is worth a detour for its excellent cooking. The personality and talent of the chefs and staff are evident in the skillfully composed dishes, which are refined, inspired and sometimes original.
In this elegant and cosmopolitan restaurant decorated in neutral colors and adorned with draperies, Neapolitan chef Andrea Aprea serves the best of traditional Italian cuisine and some dishes with the immediately perceptible character of his hometown.
Cracco
With one Michelin star, the Cracco restaurant, located at Via Victor Hugo 4, stands out for its high-quality cooking. Using premium ingredients, the flavorful dishes are carefully prepared to a consistently high standard.
The restaurant offers traditional dishes from Milan and elsewhere in Italy, reinterpreted with a modern twist, playing on a contrast of textures, flavors and colors.
The elegantly understated atmosphere is further enhanced by the cherry wood paneling on the walls. There is also a 'table d'hôte' - a small table for a maximum of four diners, with an insight into the work of the restaurant workers in the kitchen.
Felix Lo Basso
Also with a Michelin star is the Felix Lo Basso restaurant, which spreads its aromas from the 5th floor of Piazza Duomo 21. With its high-quality cooking, it's well worth a visit.
Chef Felice Lo Basso continues to prove his talent with his recognized brand of bright, creative and colourful Italian cuisine, which is often playful and always focuses on the use of the highest quality Italian ingredients.
Il Ristorante Trussardi alla Scala
Another Milan restaurant that boasts a Michelin star is Il Ristorante Trussardi, which travelers can find at Piazza della Scala 5. Using high-quality ingredients, the flavorful dishes are carefully prepared to a consistently high standard.
Combinations that are surprising but never too bold or exaggerated, a careful choice of ingredients and the use of seasonal products are the hallmarks of this restaurant specializing in traditional Italian cuisine, which is the hallmark of a gourmet. The lawn at Piazza della Scala is an added bonus.
Tokuyoshi
With a Japanese touch, the Tokuyoshi restaurant at Via San Calocero 3 has earned its Michelin star. The mention of creative cooking in Milan immediately brings Yoji Tokuyoshi to mind. With Tokuyoshi's typical Japanese humility and precision, this chef has been serving imaginative food in his namesake restaurant for the past few years.
His original dishes, which are full of decisive flavors, take diners on a culinary journey around his native Japan and his current home in Italy, the country that has encouraged his professional development.
La Latteria de San Marco
The restaurant La Latteria de San Marco, located at Via San Marco 24, has only eight tables and with no reservations available, it is important not to arrive hungry. The restaurant offers a vegetable-specific menu that changes daily.
The decor is a bit kitschy, but the restaurant is a characteristic part of the Brera district.
If you're lucky enough to find a seat, hope that crudaiola, a cold vegetable soup, is on the menu. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with main courses like testaroli (triangular-shaped pasta) with zucchini, eggplant and salted ricotta. Chef Arturo Maggi, who has owned the restaurant since 1965, claims to cook much of his dishes in a silver pan - making them particularly easy to digest.
Potafiori
The flower-filled restaurant is located at Via Salasco 17. It's trendy and pleasant, unpretentious but thriving. With "fiori cibo musica" (flowers, food, music), this combined flower shop/restaurant/cocktail bar advertises itself on its website. The menu is small but delicious and the wine list matches the food.
It is above all the magnificent flowers that attract guests to this restaurant. From morning to night, model lions and retired couples gather here. Flowering cretonne aprons reinforce the impression that the staff are friendly to their diners.
