In the beginning, laboratories and old factories. Then Milan discovered the industrial-chic and it was immediately love. On the other hand, it could only be a successful union, between the most urban and trendy furnishing style of the moment and Milan, the Italian metropolis of excellence. Less is more, and many restaurateurs seem to have understood and applied it: minimalism, neutral or dark shades, a meeting between wood and metal coexist in avant-garde rooms with high and very high ceilings.

A concept that comes from the USA, but declined in an Italian key. The atmosphere that characterizes the locals who have embraced industrial chic is unique, and makes the mind fly to New York lofts, giving a decidedly international twist. If you are passionate about design and the idea of ​​dining in a space that has been given new life, it intrigues you, follow our advice. Among pizza, traditional or ethnic cuisine, here are some unmissable catering addresses that have embraced this unique style!

COCCIUTO

Via Bergognone, 24

New concept of Neapolitan pizzeria in the Tortona area, Cocciuto stands out from traditional pizzerias for furnishings, first of all. An environment inspired by the urban chic New York atmosphere, with refined and elegant combinations that welcome guests immediately making them fall in love with the atmosphere. Exposed bricks on the walls, wooden tables, hanging lamps, soft lighting, armchairs and velvet sofas complete the picture, reflecting an attention to detail that is difficult to find in a pizzeria. The pizza, prepared with the best ingredients of the boot, respects the ancient Neapolitan tradition but also makes itself “social” in the formula by the meter that favors sharing and conviviality. In addition to the classic pairing with beer, a selection of natural and French wines or the alternative of pairing with a good cocktail. You must try it!

IL SANTA BISTRÒ MODERNO

At this all glass and design restaurant with very high ceilings you get attached easily, because, if at first it amazes with the view you will be sold once you taste the cuisine. Dinner is the moment in which Il Santa gives the best of himself: the dim lights, the neutral tones of the walls that recall raw concrete, the paintings of contemporary artists that are always different and the skyscrapers that look behind the large windows to create an atmosphere unique in the city, transforming the environment into a rare and sought after place.

Its glossy concrete counter, high ceilings with exposed pipes, brass finishes, minimal furniture and soft lighting create a charming and heady atmosphere together. Pizza and focaccia instead, cooked in a wood-fired oven and leavened 48 hours, create a high dependency. What about cocktails?
