Ristorante Cracco
About
Ristorante Cracco, situated in the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, offers an elegant fusion of contemporary and traditional Italian cuisine under the guidance of chef Carlo Cracco. The ground‑floor café welcomes guests with hand‑painted walls and mosaics that echo the exterior of the gallery, serving a relaxed breakfast and an iconic pizza for casual dining. Upstairs, the restaurant’s three dining rooms and two private salons showcase a sophisticated menu that ranges from unexpected fish soup with truffle to classic saffron risotto and art‑deco inspired hors d’oeuvres. A wine cellar beneath the Galleria houses a curated selection of over 10,000 Italian and French bottles, while a dedicated wine‑tasting area is available to patrons. Visitors can enjoy leisurely meals from breakfast through late night, around the clock at the café, or book a table for dinner simply by email; reservations are required for dinner, especially on busy evenings. The venue’s artistic collaborations—such as neon‑lit lunettes featuring Carlo Cracco’s likeness—add an extra layer of contemporary flair to an already distinctive dining experience.
