Notes from Home: Milan

Where to Eat

Trattoria del Pescatore
Our favourite in Milan. Not your typical trattoria — the astice alla catalana is a must, you’ll thank us later.

Trattoria Torre di Pisa
Ideal for date nights or long, unhurried dinners with friends. Charming, classic, and effortlessly Milanese.

Da Giacomo
We always find our way back to Giacomo. A little over-loved, perhaps — but for good reason. The spaghetti alle vongole is hard to beat.

Langosteria
For seafood evenings done properly — polished, lively, and always a good choice.

Al Baretto
Elegant, understated, and always just right for a long dinner.

Trattoria al Ciumbia
A true Milanese address — warm, nostalgic, and full of personality.

Bice Milano
A true classic. Effortless, familiar, and always just right — especially in between shopping.

Gelateria Umberto 1934
For affogato — simple, perfect, and never skipped.

Pasticceria Sissi
Our favourite for something sweet. Small, charming, and quietly iconic.

Sant Ambroeus
For brunch or slow mornings — a Milan institution.

What to See and Do

Villa Necchi Campiglio
One of Milan’s most beautiful homes. Start your morning nearby, then take your time wandering through.

Rossana Orlandi Gallery
For design lovers — layered, unexpected, and endlessly inspiring.

Villa Borsani
A design icon. Thoughtful, precise, and unlike anything else in the city.

Palazzo Reale
For exhibitions worth seeing, right in the centre.

Where to Stay

Casa Brera
A refined stay in the heart of Brera — elegant, understated, and effortlessly Milanese.

Portrait Milano
Right in the centre of the city. Home to one of our favourite restaurants, Beefbar — a stay that blends seamlessly into Milan life.

Vmaison Hotel Milano
Feels like a home away from home — intimate, warm, and quietly charming.
