In-Depth Information
Zero's dramatically designed space puts the spotlight on the kitchen, which pre-
pares traditional sashimi but also a variety of creative raw and rare dishes. Japan-
ese technique dominates, while the menu flirts with Italian flavours and ingredi-
ents (including a
carpaccio
-style Angus beef).

Local Life
Milan's Best Gelati
Despite its out-of-the-way location,
Gelateria Marghera
( 02 46 86 41; Via Marghera 33)
has the reputation as the city's best ice-cream parlour - which means concerted
queuing can be required to get in the door. Its range of ice-cream cakes and
liquorini
(layered gelati or sorbet with fruit or nut toppings and, you guessed it, liquor) are worth
the wait. Their best-selling flavour? Pistachio.
Marginally less busy is
Shockolat
( 02 4810 0597; Via Boccaccio 9; 7.30am-1am)
,
where variations play on the chocolate theme including milk, dark, white, chilli,
chocolate-hazelnut and cinnamon.

BAR
Grab a seat in this historical bar and let Milan come to you. Drift in during the day
for espresso, sandwiches and beer, or join the students during early evening for
wine from a tap.
