El Club del Patio: 4 special nights with fine cuisine and soccer
El Patio del Gaucho restaurant is turning into El Club del Patio for four exclusive nights aimed at uniting culinary enthusiasts and fans of Captain Javier Zanetti, all under the common bond of shared passion.
A new format is set to delight soccer fans, Inter enthusiasts, and admirers of the legendary Javier Zanetti, as well as those who appreciate quality meat. El Patio del Gaucho, an Argentine restaurant located in the Sheraton Milan San Siro hotel, is hosting four exclusive evenings filled with camaraderie, soccer passion, and delectable cuisine. These special events are scheduled for Tuesday, March 19; Tuesday, April 16; Tuesday, May 14; and Tuesday, September 10, transforming the restaurant into “El Club del Patio.” It’s a unique chance for fans of the Captain to connect, feel part of a vibrant community, and enhance their sense of belonging and unity, all while enjoying the restaurant’s centerpiece—a grand wooden social table that seats up to 18 guests—and participating in a fun raffle to win Zanetti-signed gadgets, shirts, and soccer balls.
Opened by former Inter captain Javier Zanetti, El Patio del Gaucho is situated on the ground floor of the Sheraton Milan San Siro hotel. Overlooking a lush garden, it offers a warm, inviting atmosphere influenced by Argentine themes, with a decor featuring slate, wood, and leather. The open kitchen boasts a sizable grill, or “parilla,” dedicated to meat, spanning two meters by one meter, custom-designed for the space.
The menu highlights Argentine culinary staples, like bone-in and boneless Asado, grilled to perfection, and the Parrillada el Patio del Gaucho, a lavish mixed grill for two featuring beef ribs, diaphragm, sirloin, and sausage. The restaurant’s culinary offerings also include empanadas, Pata Negra with fried gnocco, provoletas, fish dishes like Pulpo alla Parilla, vegan options like the Verdulero—a lime-marinated vegetable carpaccio mosaic—and an assortment of fish, shellfish, and vegetables cooked in the innovative Josper charcoal oven, preserving the subtle flavours and authentic tastes.
To complement the meal, guests can choose from an extensive selection of cocktails and a wine list featuring prominent Argentine labels, including Argentino Javier Zanetti Malbec, Botega Noemia, Michella Rolland Mariflor, and Saurus. While the outdoor terraced garden is perfect for dining during the warmer months, guests can enjoy an aperitif or a romantic dinner under the stars in the picturesque heated igloos until spring.
