Il Cestino

Nestled in the charming Brera district of Milan, Il Cestino embodies the blend of Mediterranean and Milanese culinary traditions. This trattoria stands out for its dedication to fresh ingredients and classic Italian flavors. A focus on seafood characterizes much of its menu, with a daily selection that includes a range of crudo, tartares, and various seafood dishes like risottos, pastas, and grilled or fried options. The land-based offerings are equally thoughtful, with a commitment to seasonal trends and authentic, balanced flavors.

The trattoria also caters to those seeking a casual yet refined dining experience with its range of pizzas, spanning from beloved classics to more adventurous gourmet combinations. These pizzas are crafted with quality ingredients and baked in a wood-fired oven, bringing a slice of authenticity to each guest.

Il Cestino offers a dual experience through its warm and inviting spaces. The outdoor area, or 'dehor', is vibrant and lively, allowing diners to soak in the bustling energy of Brera. In contrast, the upstairs dining room provides an intimate and elegant setting, suitable for quiet dinners or business meetings.

This restaurant also features a carefully chosen wine list, with both Italian and international labels. Each selection is intended to complement the diverse tastes found in the menu.

Il Cestino serves a varied clientele, accommodating everything from small gatherings to more private dining occasions. The atmosphere balances the energy of its surroundings with the tranquility inside, making it a versatile dining location in Milan.
