Trussardi alla Scala

Whether it's for stylish
aperitivo
at the cafe bar beneath Patrick Blanc's vertical
garden, or a blow-out meal in Andrea Berton's sexy, Michelin-starred dining
room, Trussardi offers some of the finest dining near the Duomo. The food also
has a directness, with seasonal dishes such as roast spring lamb with potato, avo-
cado and lime.

Peck Italian Bar
€€
ITALIAN
Peck's dining room lets quality produce shine with staples such as
cotoletto,
risotto and roasts done with fabulously fresh, well-sourced ingredients, if not a
smidgen of contemporary flair. The room is also a picture of restraint, with wines
by the glass administered by bow-tied waiters.
