Restaurant and bistrot

The Café-Bistrot

Adjoining the entry lobby, the Café-Bistrot, designed by architect Flaviano Capriotti, looks out onto the Palazzo’s inner garden. Steeped in the tradition of the cosmopolitan, well-heeled coffee shops of Milan in the early 1900’s, it serves up all the vaunted delicacies of Italian cuisine, from breakfast to dinner, hosting patrons at all hours, whether for a brief espresso break, a cocktail at the bar or a pastry enjoyed at a table by the window. The imposing, semi-circular bar of bronze-plated brass sets the scene, drawing the gaze to the garden’s greenery. The watercolour on the wall, Entrare nel tempo, omaggio a L.R. (Entering Time, a Tribute to L.R.) by Mauro Ceolin,is the first work in a project developed by the Foundation, in collaboration with the Chef, to promote Italian art. In the future, it will be replaced by other visual interpretations.
