Area, Italia In Milano

I celebrated my daughter's graduation there with an aperitif. The vegetarian and gluten-free menu was perfect. It was a challenge to put together a menu with these features, but they succeeded. The service was excellent, and the location retains its exotic charm.

Often, when you're with friends, you never know where to go for a chat; this is the ideal place for a proper aperitivo, with friends. You ask for a drink, and they bring you the rest, and if you're not satisfied yet, there are always delicacies to suit everyone's tastes. Finishing off the courses with a pasta dish is a great idea.

To break up our usual romantic routine, my partner and I decided to treat ourselves to an evening at the Area Cocktail Bar. The welcome was excellent from the start: after asking us whether we wanted to sit inside or outside, they warmly invited us to sit. The value for money is excellent; the €14 aperitif includes various mixed salads with a pasta dish, plus a drink of your choice. The food was very good, as were the drinks. My partner and I enjoyed an excellent Sangria. We will definitely be back; highly recommended for those looking for a good aperitif at a great price. 🍹

This is my second time here for aperitivo, and I have to say it's one of the best in the area. Excellent cocktails and a wide selection, and the aperitivo itself is plentiful, varied, and of truly excellent quality. Plus, they also have many excellent vegetarian options. The outdoor space in spring and summer is truly delightful, and there's even a covered veranda where you can sit when it rains (as it did for us). Highly recommended.

I've been frequenting this place for a few years. The setting, both inside and out, is very nice and well-kept. The cocktails are good. Regarding the food, I have to say that over the last year, both the quality and quantity have declined, while the price has risen even further! Among the appetizers, there's no shortage of tramezzini or panini, but where they used to contain cured meats, now they're just sauces and traces of pickles. The polenta has disappeared, and the entrees are less appetizing and repetitive. What a shame...

Rich buffet, very good cocktails, and the staff is always friendly and helpful! It's always nice to return to this place!

Nice place for an aperitif, a few more appetizers wouldn't hurt

I've been frequenting the bar for a while now, and I can confidently say it's my go-to aperitivo spot. It's that classic "safe haven" where I always find a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and top-notch food. The atmosphere is welcoming, meticulously curated, and perfect for relaxing after a day at work. The aperitivo is plentiful, varied, and above all delicious: select cured meats and cheeses, constantly changing hot dishes, vegetarian options, and seasonal treats. The buffet is always well-stocked and well-maintained, even on the busiest evenings. The drinks are carefully crafted, from classics to more creative cocktails, and there's always a few off-menu options for those who enjoy trying new flavors. The non-alcoholic options are also excellent. The cocktails are another highlight: balanced spritzes, gin and tonics with select botanicals, and more creative options for those who like to experiment. The non-alcoholic option is also highly appreciated, with freshly made smoothies and mocktails. Whether with friends, as a couple, or even alone to unwind, this area is a guarantee. If you're looking for quality and hospitality, this is the place for you.

The place is very nice and big, the cocktails are good, but I was a little disappointed by the small quantity of food.

I would say everything was very good Excellent service Excellent food Thanks to all the staff😍😍😍😍
