Lonely Planet review for Il Marchesino
Gualtiero Marchesi, Italy’s most revered chef, presides over a modern dining room in that other Milanese institution, La Scala. Chairs upholstered in deep crimson evoke the neighbouring concert hall, as do musical notes cascading across white china. The menu is similarly traditional but infused with a creative spirit. Earthy handcut spaghetti is served with mussels and a verdant tangle of zucchini, foie-gras-scented roast pigeon is scattered with pinenuts and raisins atop the freshest baby spinach.
