The Five Most Expensive Restaurants in Milan, Italy

milan

Fashion, food and wine; that’s what Milan is all about. All of Italy is romantic, gorgeous and filled with a rich history unlike virtually any other place in the world, but there is nothing quite like the city of Milan. It’s where you’ll find the homes of many of the world’s most prominent – and most expensive – fashion designers. It’s where you will find the world’s most beautiful people, and it’s where you will find that most everyone seems chic, impossibly sophisticated and absolutely effortless in their stunning beauty. It’s enough to make you sigh and wonder why you weren’t so fortunate to be born and raised in such an elegant environment. You can’t change it, but you can visit. While you’re in Milan, you might want to see and be seen, and these exceptionally expensive restaurants are certainly the place to do just that.

sadler

Sadler – $160 EUR per person

Aside from the exceptional food, it’s the ambiance here that draws people in. Sadler has two Michelin stars, clean lines and exceptionally expensive decorations. You will not find cheap fabrics on the tables here. Instead, you will find the finest of luxury linens, discreet lighting and some of the most amazing windows with the most beautiful views you’ve ever seen in your life. The food is rumored to be amazing, too.

il ristorante

Il Ristorante Trussardi alla Scala – $168 EUR per person

With two Michelin stars, most people care about little else. However, this divine location features some of the most exceptional décor you’ve come across. It’s chic in a way that makes other chic things look dowdy. Light wood floors, floor to almost-ceiling windows and white, white, and more white make this location look more like an upscale wedding reception than a place for dinner – and we adore it.

savini

Savini – $172 EUR per person

It’s a Michelin-star rated restaurant in the most amazing city in the world. The menu is an eclectic mix of the best Italian dishes in the world, and no one makes them better. It’s creatively simple, but it’s the surroundings that make it what it is today. It’s the gorgeous historic look of the building, the attention to detail and the fact that you feel as if you’ve stepped into another century when you walk through the luxurious doors.

armani

Armani – $180 EUR per person

Yet another Michelin star restaurant, Armani means excellence in every which way. It’s got a classic feel as soon as you step inside, but it’s the tiled floors and the magnificent windows and views that capture the attention. The wine list here tops just about any wine list around, making it the perfect location for a romantic date night or an evening of relaxation with amazing food and drink.

cracco

Cracco – $181 EUR per person

Two Michelin stars speak louder than just about anything we can say about Cracco. This gorgeous restaurant is taking modern Italian food and putting a contemporary twist on each simplistic dish to turn it into everything you’ve ever dreamed of having in Milan. Stylish, but discreet in terms of ambiance and staff, this is the place to go if you want to experience true Milan.
