Torre

The 37 Best Restaurants in Milan, Italy | Eater

"In 2015, the Prada family opened the Fondazione Prada museum to showcase the family’s extensive art collection. The multibuilding complex became a contemporary art destination, attracting visitors to a former gin distillery on the southern edge of the city. Diners came too for the celebrated Bar Luce, designed by Wes Anderson with trompe-l’oeil wall decorations and pinball machines. But head for the bar’s more mature sibling, Torre (“tower”), an upscale restaurant that opened in 2018 on the sixth floor of the newest building. The restaurant boasts one of the city’s most stunning dining spaces, decorated with works by Lucio Fontana and John Baldessari, as well as an expansive triangular terrace ideal for sunset aperitivi. Young Livorno-born chef Lorenzo Lunghi serves modern Milanese fare and seafood dishes influenced by Tuscan coastal cuisine. Freshly baked bread and sweets come from Marchesi, Milan’s most celebrated antica pasticceria, which the Prada family purchased in 2015 and expanded into a mini-franchise. Know before you go: Grab a drink on the terrace bar before dinner to catch the sunset over the city." - Elizabeth De Filippo-Jones
