The best outdoor restaurants in Milan
Flawless Milano's definitive guide to the perfect place for a summer lunch or dinner in the great outdoors
The sun’s rays warm up the Milanese streets (maybe a little too much) and the days are marked by the alternation of long hours of light and bright sunsets. And let’s face it, we would prefer to be watching it from a sandy beach or a mirador Spanish. When the summer heat is full blown, Milanese architecture is a bit cramped for everyone. The desire to pack your bags and leave is pretty universal, especially for most workers and students in the city.
If, in anticipation of your holidays, you are looking for an oasis of taste where you can completely relax with friends and partners and forget the metropolitan frenzy, we have the solution for you. You just have to read this ranking, which includes the best outdoor restaurants in the capital. Between sophisticated dehors, terraces that wink at the roofs of the neighbourhoods, local traditions and esters, classic and gourmet dishes, there’s something for everyone. Here is our complete and simple definitive guide of the place to be unmissable for unforgettable breaks.
