Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in Italy (including Rome, Florence, Milan and Venice)
Start New ThreadHi,
I shall be in Milan for one night in mid-August and wanted to know where is considered the finest place to dine there. Price is not an issue and I am open to any type of cuisine.
One issue is that I may be there on a Sunday night, Are most high-end places still open for Sunday dinner?
Grazie!

Hardly any place is open on Sunday in Milan and a lot are even closed on Saturday. The highest rated place is Cracco (92 in Gambero Rosso). The only restaurant in GR with a score over 80 that is open on Sunday is Acanto, www.hotelprincipedisavoia.com, with 81.
Otherwise the heavy hitters in Milan are Sadler, Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia, Joia, and Trussardi alla Scala. I would also look at www.viamichelin.com.

Thanks mbfant,
Cracco was the one I had in mind all along. It's a shame I think I can only do Sunday night!
Acanto is in a Dorchester hotel and they usually house pretty high quality restaurants, so that maybe the best option.
Grazie mille!

My suggestions, among the few open on Sunday for dinner, are two:
CASA TUA, a nice true "osteria"; its website is www.casatuaosteria.com
OSTERIA DEL TRENO, a nice tre "osteria" with many foods coming from the protected foods of slow food; its location is between the main railway station and Piazza della Repubblica, the square with several of the best five stars hotels in Milan; its website is www.osteriadeltreno.it .
Ciao.
