Set against the attractive backdrop of Piazza Belgioioso, this – one of Milan’s oldest restaurants – is located in the former stable block of the palazzo of the same name, just a stone’s throw from La Scala and from the first, historic premises of the Casa Ricordi music publishing company. The dinners it traditionally serves up following performances at La Scala – to conductors, opera singers, directors and journalists – make it one of the most “musical” of eateries in Milan. High prices.
