Top choice in Milan
Take a break from Milan at this laid-back food hub on the Martesana Canal. Run by fresh-food warriors Martina and Mattia, its vegetarian-focused menu showcases sustainable producers both on the plate and through wine tastings and food events. Matteo’s grasp of texture and flavour is outstanding, resulting in layered dishes such as orzo topped with earthy beets and sprinkled with crunchy hazelnuts.
Let Martina guide you on wine pairings, her choices from their biodynamic cellar are inspired.
