CRACCO
Chef: Carlo Cracco
MODERN - ELEGANT The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is one of the most iconic places in Milan and as such can boast a true star of Italian catering, whose professional career is among the most important in Italy (among its masters are Ducasse in the kitchen and Pinchiorri in the cellar). Together with the owner Carlo, the resident chef Luca Sacchi, executes a cuisine of impeccable product and technique, embracing the Milanese traditions and extending to the entire Mediterranean area, with Ligurian fish in the foreground. The cellar is a journey in itself, with one of the best selections of French wines in Italy in terms of breadth and depth, enriched by excellent service by the glass and the opportunity to taste the wines of the organic Vistamare company, owned by the chef, located on the canines of Romagna. The most coveted tables are those near the windows overlooking the Galleria Octagon, which must be booked in advance.

In the large central room the walls covered in bucchero (the characteristic black ceramic with which the Etruscans made their vases) run at an angle to direct the gaze towards the open kitchen.

BISTROT. In the empire on which the sun never sets of the Cerea brothers, there was actually no place in the capital. Done. A very elegant bistro (at Milanese prices) on the first floor of the Allianz Tower, the tallest in Italy (excluding the Unicredit cusp). No supervising, therefore, but a quiet terrace for the summer. It is an idea that makes the traditional art of hospitality of the Bergamo family casual. There are some historic dishes (see the paccheri creamed at the moment), some ideas for the location (like the Elefante, a gigantic cutlet), an excellent but demanding pizza in terms of prices (25 euros for the Regina Margherita, 40 for the Tuna and onions), a menu of dishes to share (tacos, veal with tuna sauce). Otherwise you opt for the DegustiDaV (110 euros) or CondiviDaV (65 euros), a series of tastings from the center of the table. Traditional desserts with a twist. Rich wine list, with heavy mark-ups.

BISTROT. The homage of the South American chefs of Contraste (Matias Perdomo and his right-hand man Simon Press) and of the very Italian Thomas Piras to one of the symbols of our country led to the dedication of a room to pasta, declined in numerous versions by the team of the Sicilian Arianna Consiglio . As it should be, there is a pre-pasta section (made up of treats) and a post-pasta section with cheeses and desserts of the day. It is better to rely on the two courses of three or five dishes: if the recipes rarely deviate from the classic nature of the ingredients, the variety is pleasant. There are linguine, ravioli, spaghetti, corzetti and even the house lasagna. The room is in urban-retro style: large windows, mirrors, seduces in blue velvet and teal. In addition to a beautiful cellar, there is an original cocktail list. Very attentive service.

BISTROT. It is a successful hybridization between Italy (with its products and its recipes) and dim sum ravioli. A game to which the sign already alludes, which is a way of saying in Milanese dialect ("we're here") but which when read, rather than pronounced, can bring to mind the name of an Asian restaurant. In a simple and refined environment , also with tables on the street, you can choose from a contained and tasty menu, divided into four categories: vegetarian, "fish", "came" and "special" ravioli. Here then is "II Trevigiano" filled with gorgonzola, radicchio and walnuts; "II Gambero", with prawn marinated in soy sauce and oyster sauce; "La Carbonara", with the ingredients of the recipe of the same name; or "II Milanese", with ossobuco and saffron. Also sweet ravioli at the end. To drink, good cocktails and a few bottles of wine. Quick service. Another location in via Borsieri.

TRATTORIA. As the three guys who founded it (and the collaborators who roam around) say, this is an inn "almost in the countryside", on the edge of the metropolis in a neighborhood that is changing. The place is simple, which does not lead to Old Milan: a small room at the entrance, a counter and a nice terrace in the courtyard. The menu is small, not extreme but fun: soft cooked egg with tomato, meatballs and meatloaves, ravioli and duck terrine. The pasta is homemade. Cellar of (good) natural wines, smiling service.

The menu is appropriately simple, even with a selection of cicchetti for 3 euros, crostoni and platters to share. Then tartare, delicious first courses and meatballs in various recipes. A fun place.

Born as an outpost of a "different" way of doing food and wine culture, this place managed by Carla, mother and Martina, daughter, passionate and experts in the field, has had the merit of not giving in to trends and of keeping the bar straight on the concept of "hub" of good things, at competitive prices for Milan.
