Corsia del Giardino

We really went on a shopping spree at Alessi across the courtyard and then needed to catch our breath. The closest restaurant was this incredibly stylish, unique, Italian eatery… Complete with a beautiful garden and the finest of arts, we thought… time to rejuvenate!
Our assorted meat appetizer was heaven in the sliced form. Salami and prosciutto and everything nice. Only in Italy can the preserved meat-​form reach taste sensations like this. Add a bit of bread and extra virgin and you have reached the pinnacle of appetizers.
Then, my Cesar salad took fresh organic lettuce, raw egg, anchovies, and perhaps a touch of Worcestershire, salt and pepper, combined in an emulsion of wonderful to bring taste to a whole new level. Even more, the taste was propelled by Grana Padano, the second best cheese on the planet — all due respect to Parmigianio Reggianio.
Topped off with espresso, our two hour lunch filled us with energy to renew our shopping excursion. We look forward to returning!

While wandering around and feeling hungry before AC Milan match, I saw an old couple walking out of a passage and took a peek… Looked like a courtyard and this place was right in the corner. We gave it a shot. Food was definitely creative. Sandwiches were big. Our waiter was helpful and patient. Seems that locals frequent this place during the weekend since it was packed. Location is very convenient to La Scala and shopping district… I’d love to see this place during warmer months to enjoy the beautfiul outdoors…
