The gastronomic offering

The essentials of Italian cuisine from breakfast to dinner. A place that welcomes the desire for conviviality and good taste at any hour. Simplicity in the offering, richness in the selection of raw materials, to interpret each day as a new one. In the heart of Corso Venezia in Milan, Andrea Aprea’s Café Bistrot stands as a corner of refinement and tradition, for which Aprea has redefined the standards of popular cuisine through a selection of great Neapolitan classics offered to the public in their purest form.

A space capable of evoking the tradition of the cafeterias of cosmopolitan and bourgeois Milan in the early 20th century, with a rich variety of influences offered by matter and colour to frame a different way of understanding the relationship between time and food. The bistro revolves around an iconic semi-circular counter to showcase the fundamentals of Italian cuisine, from breakfast to dinner, with an offering capable of accommodating the desire for conviviality and good taste at any hour. The glassed-in space accommodates 22 guests, plus 12 more en plein air, in the outdoor area overlooking the Palace’s secret garden. The space – designed, like the restaurant, by architect Flaviano Capriotti – expresses the characteristic themes of the finest Milanese design tradition in a contemporary style, offering the Foundation’s guests and the city’s public a new place where beauty, nature, good taste and savoir faire can be combined.
