Caffé Cova
Founded in 1817 by a soldier in Napoleon's army, this elegant tearoom has languished on Monte Napoleone since 1950 (the original was destroyed during WWII). A popular shopping stop, you can either shoot an espresso at the bar or relax over drinks in one of the sitting rooms.

Don Carlos
Foodies get emotional about Don Carlos and not just because many head straight here from the opera. Chef Angelo Gangemi surprises even the most jaded palate in this old-world setting, with brand-new creations like tangy eel with lemons and sultanas and reinvented classics like zesty pea soup with mint.

Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia
Milanese like their food like they like their clothes: artful, inventive, in season and suitable for any occasion. No wonder everyone adores Aimo and Nadia Moroni's place, with memorable seasonal fare like fresh tagliolini pasta with truffles and turnips in winter, pistachio-encrusted prawns with artichokes for spring and a wine list that won't quit year-round.

Il Teatro
Slow and steady wins gourmet glory for this slow food restaurant, which brings taste-bud-boggling bounties of artisanal cheeses, wines and other regional specialties to the table. Recently Sicilian cuisine brought down the house with a seven-course €100 tasting menu including tuna salami, Sicilian fish couscous, Modica chocolate eggplant ratatouille and Palermo lemon sorbet.

La Brisa
Whether you've come to this garden hideaway for work or play is irrelevant, because once the tenderloin with pomegranate seeds and arugula arrives, it's pure pleasure. Watch as Lombard wines loosen the power ties of fellow patrons here with the around €20 fixed-price lunch - or better yet, join in.

Luca e Andrea Café-Bar
An embarrassment of riches at starving-artist prices, with generous pasta and risotto specials served canalside. The gnocchi with gorgonzola washed down with a quarter-carafe of the house red could inspire your next performance art piece, if you could only move off your chair.
-
Osteria del Binari
Crashing an Italian wedding is the only other way you'd come by such heaping platters of handmade pasta, select cuts of meat and home-baked pastries. With Tuscan wine and loved ones gathered around, someone's bound to feel a toast coming on - quick, duck out back and join the lawn bowling already in progress.
-
Sadler
The Biblioteca Ambrosiana of Milanese haute cuisine delivers higher education for the palate, with glassed-in bookcases of rare wines and comfy chairs for serious cram sessions. Get wise to scampi with quail eggs and caviar, lobster with polenta gnocchi, or classes (in Italian) with Claudio Sadler by prior arrangement.
