To arrive at Ceresio 7 is to understand modern Milan. Perched atop the historic Enel building - now the headquarters of DSquared2 - this is not just a restaurant; it is a declaration of style. The space, curated with a fashion-world eye, is a breathtaking blend of industrial heritage and sleek, contemporary luxury. But its true genius lies outdoors, on the iconic rooftop terrace where two emerald-green pools mirror the sky, creating a resort-like oasis high above the city's bustling streets. The energy here is palpable—a sophisticated hum of fashion elites and international connoisseurs who have made this their urban sanctuary. It’s a place where the panorama of Milan is not just a view, but the main accessory.
The kitchen, led by Chefs Gabriele Gatti and Marco Di Pietro, delivers a menu of refined, contemporary Italian cuisine. The focus is squarely on pristine ingredients—think delicate crudi, perfectly al dente pasta, and impeccably grilled Fassona beef. This is robust flavor presented with minimalist, artistic flair.
By day, it's a scene for power lunches; by night, it transforms into the city's most fashionable aperitivo and dining destination. The vibe is effortlessly chic, and the crowd is as curated as the design.
Our Concierge Note:
A reservation here is a hot commodity. Securing a prime terrace table, especially for a weekend lunch or sunset cocktails, requires significant advance notice and insider leverage. This is not merely about a meal; it's about securing a position at the epicenter of Milan's social scene. It is a precise orchestration we are uniquely positioned to provide.
