Where to Enjoy Aperitivo in Milan
Bar Tender
Piazza Morbegno (intersection of Via Varanini and Via Venini)
Prompt, friendly service, with a legendary food selection – some say the largest in Milan.
American pop plays softly in the background. Drinks cost $8-$12. Servers helpfully bring the
plates of focaccia, pizza and pasta to your table, so you won’t miss seconds. At nine, all is
cleared to make room for the delicious desserts.
Slice
Via Ascanio Sforza, 9, Navigli
Such an impressive food selection that you probably won’t notice the burnt orange walls,
animal prints and knick-knack decorations. Word about the free focaccia, cold cuts, pasta
and French fries is out; arrive by 7, before the line gets out of hand.
Radetzky Café
Via Largo La Foppa, 5, Brera
One of the trendiest bars in one of the trendiest neighborhoods. The party flows out into
the cobblestoned streets on warm nights, as crowds drink and smoke around the
picturesque bar. Aperitivo is the standard spread, and drinks average about $12.
Caffè Miani Zucca In Galleria
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, in Piazza Duomo
Zucca aims to revive the golden days of aperitivo. The keyword is classic: classic old-
fashioned décor; classic, simple food (olives, potato chips and nuts); and classic, original
aperitivo drinks (Negroni and the classic Milanese martini). Watch the crowds pass through
the Galleria as you gaze at the Duomo and remember a simpler time.
