La Rinascente

Go there for the shopping experience of a crowded mall if you are into it but do not miss the fantastic view overlooking the Duomo from their rooftop!
Great spot to take a well-​deserved break from your intense shopping /​discovery of the city.
Friendly service

If y’all got the money and want to blow it than this is the place to go in Milan… Well one of the places lol. This department store is huge with multiple floors and tons of name brand clothes for men, women, and children. It also has things for the house, travelling, artisan food, and restaurants/​café.
Since I’m a guy, I’ll give you more of a guy’s perspective. There’s tons of clothes here for men from different designers. The problem that I had with this store is the lack of petite/​small sizes for men who are on the smaller side of the spectrum, so even if I wanted to buy something they didn’t carry anything smaller than a small (I need an xxs– thank goodness for River Island!)
What I did like about this place is its artisan food department on the top floor with the restaurants/​bars. You can buy a lot of Italian goods from dried pasta, chocolates, biscuits, olive oil, wine, and balsamic vinegar… It is pricey though!
I like this place to window shop, but honestly can’t see myself buy anything unless I was drunk or won the lottery… just being real

If you love designer shopping, you will love this place. Similar to the high end department stores back home (NYC), the place is just levels of eye candy and temptation. Think of Saks, Bergdorf’s. It’s always interesting to see what other cities offer in terms of collections. Up on the top floor is a great view of the Duomo. There’s a restaurant, bakery and a bar. More specifically, a Moët & Chandon bar. Of course, we had to sit down for some bubbly. Ordered the Bellini and Ice Imperial, both super delicious. Probably one of the best bellinis I’ve ever had and we’re not in Venice! I would definitely drop by for the beauty floor, handbags and the bar. It’s just worth a trip ;)

What a beautiful department store! Definitely reminds me of Bloomingdales or Saks in NYC.
After reading great reviews about the Moët and Chandon champagne bar on the top floor, we had to go! After a long day of sightseeing in Milano, we had to enjoy our apertivo. We had the famed Bellini and newest drink Moët Ice Imperial.
This was probably the best Bellini I’ve ever had, not sure what the bartender added or if it was the atmosphere but it was delicious. The Ice Imperial is concentrated so it’s served on ice and dressed up almost like a sangria with lots of fruit. It was very light and delicious.
Definitely a place to visit in Milano!

La Rinascente… modèle de La Mode
branché, chic, hype, tendance etc…
Ce centre commercial haut de gamme regoupe des enseignes qui suivent les dernières tendances de la mode.

Also, mich hat das kaufhaus nicht ueberzeugt. Weder von waren, noch von preisen. Viele marken/​designershops sind in unmittebarer umgebung mit besserem preis/​angebotverhaeltnis zu finden.

Milan’s historic department store, right by the Duomo. The position couldn’t be better, it’s the inside that makes me a bit claustrophobic. It’s a bit like other huge department stores (call it KaDeWe, Harvey Nichols, Macy’s, Corte Inglés, Illum, etc.), but for me here everything here seems cramped. Ground floor is as usual perfumes and beauty products (and a Louis Vuitton corner which I don’t find very useful, since there’s a flagship store in the Galleria two steps away) — staff has its highs and lows, depending probably of their mood that particular day. The following floors are Accessories, Men, Women, Children and Home. Famous brands, prices are medium-​high. Elevators are slow and escalators get crowded with people who still haven’t understood how an escalator works (left stand, right walk up/​down) .
I’ve seen old pictures of how the original Rinascente used to look some decades ago and it’s horrible what they’ve done with the place in order to fit more and more brands (of course fires and WWII bombings destroyed it but they could have rebuilt it as it was, at least a little bit)
The top floor is a gourmet area hosting some restaurants with views of the Duomo (Obica mozzarella bar, MySushi, champagne bar, steaks, Juice Bar; tea corner, etc.) They sell some specialty gourmet products and the most expensive water bottles I’ve ever seen (do you really need a € 300 bottle of still water?). After you’ve seen the top floor of KaDeWe in Berlin every other gourmet floor seems pointless and this one is a bit depressing, but the terrace overlooking the Duomo is nice — useful tip: if you need to use a restroom there’s one in this floor, clean and convenient.
The basement floor is my favorite. They have a Nespresso boutique, electronics corner, Muji mini-​shop, books, luggage pieces design items and a small bar — I like spending lunch breaks here browsing the ‘design supermarket’, as they call it.
There is an annex in the building next door that has been just rebuilt, I have only seen the ground floor (entrance is near Luini) where they have added a small Focacceria called Manuelina — will try it soon!

This review is for the steakhouse. Had a prosciutto sandwich and a hamburger. Both were excellent, a fabulous meal and experience to remember. This is a must visit place.

Incontournable pour les Fashion victime! Toutes les marques y sont!!! Versace, D&G, Armani, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney, Diane Von Furstenberg, Givenchy,… Très intéressant car il y a des pièces de collections que l’on né trouve nul part ailleurs!

Definitely the Nordstrom experience in Italy, except the 8 flights of escalators. Great place to grab a bite and find a TON of stores in one place

Open late!
Designer everything. Designer overflow. Just, wow. So much to process at once.
Ladies: this store is coupled best with your husband’s credit card.
Restaurant /​treats all the way up at the top floor, with an amazing view of the Duomo, too.
Costs twice as much as it would back home in the states (especially the makeup), but hey, when in Milan…

Moet & Chandon Milan
After a very long day of eating and shopping we decided to take a break upstairs at la Rinascente and quickly discovered that not only had we discovered the Best Brunch in Italy and possibly the world but also the best Bellini in Italy! We have to admit, it is so much better than the original Bellini at Harry’s Bar in Venice.
This was so worth it, especially after our climb to the top of the Duomo – 250 steps – which means we get 250 sips of whatever we want. We decided to try two famous Italian favorites which were highly recommended and we are so glad we did:
Bellini
Italian classic cocktail that was invented in Venice. We prefer the Bellini’s from here!
Campari Orange
Also an Italian favorite that was created in Naples. This was quite tasty also but the Bellini stole our hearts.

Perfect location for a nice drink — the bar on top is stylish and with a great view to the duomo!
My favorite when in Milan

Fancy, but what do you expect you’re in Milano! From the clothing down to the food it screams out fashionista! Loved going through it and loved the creativity of the food in the café! A must go to when in Milan.

Great department store… Especially because of its mozzarella bar Obika! I love the burrata with grilled vegetables. :)
If you go early or late you won’t have to queue. it can be really busy around lunch time. Obviously! ;)

Ein Einkaufszentrum, wie überall auf der Welt, jedoch mit einer außergewöhnlich großen Auswahl an Top Desigern, einem Untergeschoss mit italienischen Einrichtungsgegenständen und Wohn Accessoires und einer wunderschönen Terrasse, die zu einem guten Kaffee und Leckerein einlädt. Ein nettes Erlebnis.

I don’t care for shopping at all — maybe this is why I didn’t really like Milan — but then, there’s La Rinascente.
Specifically, the gourmet food store at the 7^th floor!
HEAVEN!
If you’re looking for specialty gifts for your foodie friends and family, look no further! Located in Piazza Duomo along the main drag, expect artisanal pastas, high quality chocolates and biscuits, truffle ANYTHING (salt, pasta, mushroom paste, etc) oh man! I went crazy here!
Don’t forget to check out the Moët Chandon champagne bar or if you really want to sit outside and get pizza, there’s Obika mozzarella bar. Just know that you will be paying dearly for your purchases here because this is the Bloomingdales of Milan.
Except everything costs twice as much.

Equivalent des galeries Lafayette. Toutes les grandes marques y sont. la carte bleue a chauffe

Ein absolutes Luxuskaufhaus, jedoch auch nicht viel anders als das KaDeWe oder Galleries Lafayette.

Fashion week had just ended so the runway was being dismantled between this building the the incredible Duomo. We were hot, and tired (cabs do no exist in Milan, apparently — ha ha) .
We worked our way to the top floor of the building to find this fantastic rooftop restaurant-​bar — named Il Bar.
The setting is spectacular, the vibe is upbeat and they serve a great mojito. Aside from a pleasant and visual place to have a lunch, the adjacent upstairs area is stunning. Chocolate shoes?
If you happen to be downtown Milan at lunchtime, this is a very representative place to get a sense of what the fashion district is all about.

Beautiful department store with terrific, fairly priced upscale merchandise and very helpful and pleasant salespeople. Particularly nice is the basement level housewares area. Great gift ideas. Beautiful men’s clothing, too. Cannot beat the convenient location steps from the Duomo.

Das Luxus Kaufhaus mit Super Restaurant. Besonders zum Aperetivo in den Abendstunden.

Rinascente is the Bloomies/​Saks/​Neiman Marcus/Barney’s/Bergdorf of Milano.
If you go up to the way top they have cafes which are nice after shopping you can come up and enjoy coffee, a cocktail and even food.
I buy all my MAC products here and whatever else I need related to beauty products.
Yes, it’s a little pricey but it’s probably the ambience you are paying for.
It’s clean, has everything you need.

This place is immaculate with floors dedicated to home design, high end men’s and women’s fashion and cosmetics.
For some reason, I enjoy looking over men’s suits to examine the cut and style. Of course they had Hugo Boss and Armani — all drool worthy items on display and not within reach of my wallet. I really loved the winter coats they had on display. I looked over some shirts and sweaters that I thought I could pick up for my brother but obviously the prices were not within my budget. Maybe for another lifetime…
Then I went over to the women’s section and was equally impressed with the quality of the coats on display as well however, I couldn’t find any in petite sizes. (sighs).
The only things I was able to purchase was Shu Uemura blush which really hard to find in certain NYC dept stores: they don’t have it in Macy’s and Bloomingdales but I have found it in Nordtrom’s in Chicago but too lazy to go to NJ or Westchester just for blush.
Anyway, I also went to the food market section since I didn’t have time to figure out where the wine stores are and ended up picking up a Barolo along with some chocolates from Alba for my coworkers. I also picked up some olive oil and dipping oil for myself which I was pretty excited about.
Customer service could be a little bit more accommodating but perhaps it was near closing time and everyone was tired.

This is a high end department store which I want to compare to Macy’s but it honestly only has high end merchandise and I don’t think anything mid range. It’s got a great selection of clothing for both men and women.
It’s multiple floors of clothing, a floor for home furnishings, and a basement with more home appliances and various other items. The top floor has food, a café, a few restaurants and bar. It also has a patio which overlooks the Cathedral and the square that it’s in. It’s a fantastic view and a great place to kick back and relax if you’ve been in the heat to long. The prices are slightly higher than the bars and cafes in the area but it usually isn’t as busy as street level so it’s nice to get away from the crowd.
The store is very nice and the bar, restaurant, café is alright to. On their own I’d rate each of them 3 stars but as a package I’m definitely a fan of La Rinascente.

Set in the perfect setting central to Milan’s shopping district and opposite the Duomo is the delightful department store La Rinascente. Offering fashion, beauty, interior design and the most exotic Italian food and wine for every palate. check out the restaurants on the top floor which have a terrace overlooking the cathedral. A must see.

Wie schon von den Vorgängern geschrieben: ein «Kaufhaus» der Extraklasse. Es ist eine tolle Atmospäre hier, wenn auch immer voll. Die Terrasse, sehr einladend mit einem tollen Blick auf den Dom. Wir machen wirklich viele Städtetouren, aber diese Aussicht ist einmalig. Preise für Milano ok, hier ist alles ein bisschen teurer.

Tolle Aussicht auf Dom und Stadt von der Bar und Food Etage im obersten Stockerk

Ich finde mir da immer was, nur dauerts zumeist sehr lang, bis ich mich entschieden habe!

Situé en face du Duomo, la Rinascente est le «grand magasin» de Milan: on trouve de tout, du luxe, du fashion et des grandes marques.
Plusieurs restaurants se trouvent au dernier étage: un sushibar, et un restaurant (Il bar) qui donne sur le Duomo. Attention par contre, comme dans la plupart des restaurants en Italie, l’eau est très chere ! Deux cafés et une petite bouteille d’eau = 11euros … On se consolera sur la vue incroyable en se disant qu’on paie aussi le cadre.

Un grand magasin de renommée Internationale, mélange de Galeries Lafayette et du Bön Marché, situé face a la piazza del Duomo

Das edelste Kaufhaus in Mailand, direkt neben dem Dom. Alles vom feinsten, natürlich zu sehr hohen Preisen! Überwiegend gibt es teure Klamotten und Einrichtungsgegenstände.
Mein Tipp: Die Feinkostabteilung mit verschiedenen Restaurants in der oberen Etage. Sollte man sich mal anschauen! Hier gibt es auch eine sehr ordentliche Toilette, was in Mailand sonst eher schwer zu finden ist.

Ich kann dem nur zustimmen, was bislang gesagt wurde. Große Auswahl an Designerlabels, durchaus teuer.
Das beste für mich ist die Mozarella Bar mit Terasse und Blick auf den Dom, siehe separte Bewertung.

Das Rinascente ist ein Kaufhaus der Superlative!, vor allen Dingen wenn man/​frau gaaanz schnell das Portemonaie leer haben möchte! Hier sind alle Designer vertreten von A wie Armani bis Z wie Zegna und dementsprechend sind die Preise. Vergangene Woche hat sich meine Frau ein T-​Shirt angesehen, sah aus wie ein bedrucktes Herrenunterhemd und war auf 50% runtergesetzt. Nur noch 189 Euro! :-)
Was soll’s, es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall hier mal durch zu schlendern, super!
Aber das Beste findet ihr oben auf dem Dach, eine Feinkostabteilung der Extraklasse mit Cafes und einer Sushibar. Ein traumhafter Blick direkt auf den Maiänder Dom! Muss man gesehen haben! Das lässt dann auch mal die Preise für einen Cappuccino oder Kaffee vergessen. Egal, einmal ist keinmal!

c’est devenu un grand magasin de luxe avec des stands de toutes les grandes maraues internationales
tres beau rayon parfumerie
a né pas manquer lors d’un passage a milan

la rinascente is a fabulous department store in the heart of fashion-​conscious milan between the duomo and the galleria — so easy to find — if you are suffering fatigue from the window shopping or the tourist trek — then go to the top floor to relax and enjoy the view over the piazza whilst enjoying the café/​restaurant and plan your next sortie

Tolles Warenhaus gleich beim Mailänder Dom, ohne dem miefigen Kaufhauscharme, wie unsere Bunker à la Gerngroß oder Steffl haben.
Jeder Designer, primär natürlich Italiener, der etwas auf sich hält ist hier vertreten. Man könnte sich hier von Kopf bis Fuß perfekt passend einkleiden. Da gibts zum passenden Outfit, Schuhe, Gürtel, Haarspange etc. und klassisch findet man beim Eingang die ganzen Schmieragen, wo man bereitwillig geschminkt wird und mit einer Duftwolke des neuesten Parfums eingehüllt wird.
Die Lebensmittelabteilung ist auch ein Augen und Gaumenschmaus. Ich müsste lügen, wenn ich behaupten würde, ich liebe es nicht durch solche Häuser zu strolchen und einfach nur den Duft der weiten, teuren Welt zu riechen.
Erreichbar über die U-​Bahn 1 und 2, die die Massen bei der Piazza Duomo ausspuckt.
