Ristorante Cracco Peck di Milano In Milano

When I go to Milan, it's my regular breakfast stop. Sitting on the veranda with a corner view of the Galleria is a dream!

Location, ambiance, furnishings, and table setting worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant, but we're talking about an Italian bistro. The concept is very clever, allowing diners to sample chef Cracco's creations in the ground-floor bistro without having to spend a fortune in the restaurant (on the first floor). Not that the prices on the ground floor are affordable, but the setting is what it is (with 20% less, it would be even more appealing). The marinated salmon with pears and mustard was delicious and delicate. The French croque was excellent. The dessert portion was incredible (unfortunately, even more so). And now for the... pizza. First thing: this is not, and is not intended to be, a Neapolitan pizza! Anyone who comes here thinking it's the Neapolitan kind for €20 is simply an idiot. It's a focaccia... but a Michelin-starred focaccia: that is, a crispy, good-quality dough, very well-leavened and light; The tomatoes are strictly San Marzano (you can smell it from the wonderful aroma) and the mozzarella is from Campania (stringy but not "melted"), of excellent quality, as is the oil. In short, a truly delicious focaccia margherita. Okay, maybe it's not worth €20, but it perfectly reflects Cracco's gastronomic philosophy. The staff seemed kind and helpful. It's true, however, that it wasn't very crowded. For the 5th star, we'll have to wait until I try it in the restaurant... when I get my severance pay. P.S.: In the Galleria, a 0.75l of Acqua Panna costs €2.50. I understand that Cracco needs significant markups, also for marketing reasons, but charging €7 for the same bottle is bizarre and unjustifiable. The same goes for other drinks; I've read about freshly squeezed juices for €9; frankly, that doesn't speak in the restaurant's favor. The marketing of prices at the bar needs to be reconsidered. Update: We returned to the bistro, and this time the experience was truly astonishing. The risotto with cuttlefish and wasabi fully met the enormous expectations for a product—rice—of which Cracco remains among the absolute best. The same goes for the duck breast and the beef fillet. Everything was truly perfect. 5-star. Update: Cracco remains perhaps the world's greatest risotto chef and egg cook. It's hard to understand why Michelin won't give him back his second star, which he deserves.

An exceptional and wonderful experience. The waitress, Georgia, was helpful and assisted us in choosing our dishes. All the dishes were delicious. The tiramisu was the least good and I don't recommend it.

Truly a wonderful location. The staff was competent, kind, and very friendly. I'd even say very sweet. Giovanni was wonderful. A truly wonderful birthday celebration. We'll definitely be back ❤️ Everything was excellent, the food and the matching wine. 🥰

Four of us visited Ristorante Cracco, all choosing the tasting menu, with special attention paid to a celiac guest. I'd like to begin by emphasizing how this restaurant represents a key example of Italian excellence, not only gastronomically but also culturally and stylistically. The setting is simply unique: we're located in one of Italy's most iconic landmarks, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Dining here is like living a suspended experience, where—if you're lucky—you can witness the transition from natural light to the warm glow of the street lamps, completely transforming the atmosphere. In this context, the restaurant is the perfect result of a refined blend of taste, design, and art: a combination capable of profoundly surprising anyone who loves authentic beauty. Special praise goes to the organization of the gluten-free service, which we know requires attention, precision, and sensitivity: everything was handled with great care and professionalism. Moving on to the cuisine, we found every dish exceptional. The tasting menu stands out for its balance, creativity, and harmony, even in combinations that may initially seem surprising but then prove to be perfectly balanced. Finally, recognition goes to the wine selection and the staff: courtesy, expertise, and attention to detail contribute to maintaining a consistent level of excellence throughout the experience. I conclude by saying that this is not just any place, and it shouldn't be experienced as such. It's a destination for those ready to immerse themselves in a complete experience, where beauty—in all its forms—takes center stage. Congratulations and thank you for helping to elevate Italy to such a high level. It's always a pleasure to experience the REAL "Milan to drink." 🥂

Wonderful dinner, we let the chef guide us through a fabulous experience... unforgettable risotto with white asparagus and morels, goose carpaccio with wild rocket, caviar and truffle, stuffed guinea fowl leg, char cooked in oil, snapper with burnt lemon... just one word... thank you 🙏

An excellent option for sharing afternoon tea and enjoying top-notch coffee and pastries, created by Chef Carlo Cracco, with an unbeatable location in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. It boasts three key characteristics: elegance, a premium location, and a solid pastry shop with a beautiful aesthetic. I particularly enjoyed the visually striking individual desserts, which were rich in texture and creaminess. The overall concept and technical level of the establishment are high. However, the weak point is the service staff. They lack commitment, offer little personalized attention, and are insufficiently trained to guide customers' choices.

Excellent welcome, friendly and attentive staff. I had the pizza; it was good, tasty, and fully met my expectations. I'll definitely be back.

Undoubtedly refined, all the dishes were excellent: ingredients, presentation, aromas, and flavors. Excellent service, privacy, and perfect spaces (business dinner). A top-notch wine selection and delicious, tasty appetizers. Excellent experience.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted with “ look at our menu the prices are higher and you each need to order something” -That was so odd . Food was tasty, we were hungry. Service was decent. First restaurant in Italy that gave us the bill fast and processed fast. Atmosphere is nice . Very busy area table had nice view of the galleria .
