  • Pricey and out in the suburbs, yet Aimo and Nadia (a Tuscan-born husband-and-wife team) run this place with exquisite taste throughout, and it ranks among Milan’s very, very best (see Aimo e Nadia, Milan).

  • Aimo and Nadia Moroni are acknowledged as the top chefs in all Milan. They are fanatical about hunting down the very best ingredients, and it shows in such delectables as risotto with pumpkin flowers and truffles. It’s a bit of a haul from the centre of the city, but it is very much worth it.

  • Of Naviglio’s many great eateries, this is one of the few whose renown is entirely due to the quality of food (see Al Pont de Ferr, Milan).

  • Set at the foot of its namesake iron bridge over a canal, this Navigli standby boasts on its menu: “Good cooking is a friend of the good life and an enemy of a hurried one”. You can ponder this over a long, satisfying meal.

  • Cosy taverna serving lake fish, local game and creative regional dishes. Always the freshest ingredients.

  • Hearty bergamasco fare and some good tasting menus in the simple rooms of a wedge-shaped medieval palazzo .

  • Its theme is simple: include Italian cheeses in as many dishes as possible, culminating in a stupendous cheese platter.

  • One of half a dozen bars and gelaterie (ice-cream parlours) lining a pedestrianized stretch just north of the Pinacoteca. It was one of Milan’s first bohemian bars, given its name by a local journalist who thought it resembled the bar in Hitchcock’s Jamaica Inn .

  • Comfortable, Parisian-style café with outdoor seating, a decent food menu, tasty cocktails and Guinness on tap (see Bar Magenta, Milan).

  • A lovely corner café that’s a cross between an Irish pub and a Parisian Art Deco café, with a zinc bar, high ceilings, free newspapers and a decent list of dishes along with coffee, beer, cocktails and apéritifs.
