Description

Summary: A modern venue with a traditional heart and daily menu changes.

Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia, located in an unfashionable part of Milan, stands out with its modern decor and traditional hospitality. Since its opening in 1962, the restaurant has maintained a reputation for excellence, now holding two prestigious stars since 1990. The current menu features simple yet bold dishes like semolina durum wheat with spring onions and red chilli, as well as a dynamic 'territories' menu that changes daily. The restaurant is known for its fresh ingredients and warm, attentive service. While the location may be off the beaten path, the venue has become a destination for discerning diners, with Aimo and Nadia Moroni at the helm. They ensure each dish reflects the essence of high-quality raw materials. Celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2022, Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia presents three generous tasting menus that reflect modern Italian cuisine with a nod to the chefs' origins, including a vegetable-centric L’Orto menu and another with a seasonal theme. Highlights include the Omaggio a Milano, featuring tortelli with Fassona beef ossobuco. The wine list is extensive, presented on a tablet, and includes rare finds. Expect a bright dining space adorned with large abstract art, where tasting menus and upscale modern Italian cuisine are served with impeccable service.
