29/05/2026: A Bistro with a Strong Identity: in the Po area of Milan's Washington neighborhood
Often, when passing by 'Nudo e Crudo' Bistro, you risk overlooking the surface, dismissing it as just another neighborhood bar.
The truth, however, is that here you can sense a different kind of ambition.
It's undeniable: the place has a strong, almost daring character—some might even say so—but it's precisely this distinct personality that, in my opinion, makes the difference in Milan's restaurant scene.
It's not a place that tries to please everyone, and that's precisely its strength.
Behind the bar and in the dining room, Giulia and Andrea's previous experience is clearly evident: there's a solid expertise in the restaurant business that's rarely found in similar contexts. The selection of dishes is original, carefully curated, and focused, far from the usual clichés, ranging from creative mondeghili to riso al salto, through fish and wild egg CBT with asparagus, melted butter, and
Lodigiano. The gin list is a veritable manifesto: 150 labels speaks for itself and will satisfy even the most discerning enthusiast.
Special mention goes to the homemade desserts: we finished the meal with a tarte tatin variation that was truly exquisite.
If you're looking for an experience that goes beyond the usual aperitivo and want to discover a bistro with a distinct soul, stop by. It's a place that lets you discover it, one step at a time.
17/05/2026: We stumbled upon this small, tastefully and uniquely decorated bistro by chance. The atmosphere is warm and informal. Traditional Milanese dishes are revisited and made with select, local ingredients. Everything is excellent: from the modern potatoes and taleggio served with a fantastic lime mayonnaise, to the tomato and burrata tatin, the stir-fried rice and parmigiana, and finally the single-serving apple and cinnamon crumble served with vanilla ice cream. Excellent wines. Highly recommended.
