Dining - Milan | ArrivalGuides.com

DiningGuide was updated: 25. studenoga 2025.

Milan has a large selection of restaurants, from authentic family-run lunch places, to strict sushi eateries and top-class establishments where the corporate credit card reigns supreme. As is often the case in Italy, the best dining experience is usually a less extravagant affair in honest trattorias serving local and national specialities. Dinner in Italy usually starts between 8pm and 10pm. It typically begins with an antipasti course of small bites paired with aperitivo cocktails. Aperitivo can be had as early as 6pm, if you are not in a hurry — and you shouldn't be.
