I migliori ristoranti in Milano

05/08/2026: A round-trip to Paris, without leaving the heart of Milan. The Mandarin Oriental's Seta is one of those restaurants that reminds us why so many of us fell in love with haute cuisine: rigor, class, technique, great sauces, meticulous cooking, and service that accompanies the guest with precision, without ever becoming intrusive. Antonio Guida's cuisine possesses a profoundly French grammar, yet continues to speak with an Italian accent and clear references to his Apulian roots. Memorable dishes include the scallops wrapped in chard with black truffle, kohlrabi, lupini beans, and citron sauce; the pheasant stew with potato royale, yogurt, mussels, and scorzonera; the fregola with Jerusalem artichokes, wood pigeon livers, and 'nduja; and the Fusilloro Verrigni with roasted horse mackerel, crab, caviar, and juniper. The sea bass with oxidized cauliflower, red currants, and Vin Jaune sauce is remarkably elegant. The hare à la Royale is magnificent, combining French tradition with Puglian flakes of stracciatella and ruote pazze: a substantial, profound dish perfectly representative of the chef's style. The dining room, led by Cristiano Arlandini and Francesco Ricciardi, is impeccable, as is the wine selection curated by Andrea Loi, Immacolata Mauro, and Matteo Di Lernia. The cheese trolley, a true ritual of fine dining, is also noteworthy, accompanied by breads, crackers, and compotes selected with the same care as the rest of the menu. Marco Pinna's pastry shop rounds out the experience with restraint, technique, and freshness. True luxury at Seta is never ostentatious: it lies in the details, the quality of the ingredients, the depth of preparation, and the effortlessness with which an entire team manages to make what is anything but simple appear simple. One of the most complete and authoritative gastronomic experiences in Milan.
