Aimo e Nadia

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 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.
Al Pont de Ferr

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).
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.
Al Volt

An old fashioned restaurant with fancy gilt mirrors and lacy tablecloths. A china cup of parsnip cream soup is offered "on the house", main courses are innovative and use the best fresh produce, try the mousse of char with apple puree to start followed by brochettes of caregone in white wine sauce, the tiramasiu is a must and should be slowly savoured. The wine is locally produced and the finest on offer in the area, allow about 30 euro per head for 3 courses with wine. This restaurant will exceed all expectations and is used by the locals, often a testament in itself.
Antica Agnello, Lake Orta

Cosy taverna serving lake fish, local game and creative regional dishes. Always the freshest ingredients.
Antica Hosteria del Vino Buono, Bergamo

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

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

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 .
Bar Magenta

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