Carlo Cracco's new project.
It opens "Cracco in the Gallery", the new project of Italy's most famous chef, which is a place that combines beauty and art with the pleasure of sharing.
A project with 5 floors of café with bistro, pastry workshop, restaurant and reception hall.
At the table with art.
Evocative scenery with attention to detail, rooms made with fine materials, exclusive tableware signed by Richard Ginori and unparalleled gastronomic offerings.
The goal is as ambitious as it is extraordinary: to restore the Gallery built by Joseph Mengoni, inaugurated in 1877, its original role as the Salon of Milan.
The location brings together a cafe, a restaurant, a private salon for the most exclusive occasions, as well as a winery, with a rich selection of more than 2000 prestigious wineries and 10000 bottles.
From breakfast to after theater, this becomes a space for entertainment and for those who like to enjoy beauty.
The location, which bears the signature of the Peregalli Studio, has a complex and harmonious architectural inspiration: suggestions from different eras, from the second half of the 19th century to Gio Ponti, are synthesized in a style that is always sober and elegant.
The refinement and prestige of the result are emphasized by the pilasters, entablatures, bas-reliefs, grotesques, mosaics, as well as the metal of the dome.
Damask motifs adorn the stucco walls of the Café on the ground floor, while the mosaic floor echoes the colors of the exterior.
For those who love the Parisian atmosphere of the Belle Epoque, the great counter-bar from the late 1800s is a piece to be admired.
Of great impact is the elevator, made entirely of iron and decorated in faux bronze with glass inserts, mirror and gilded metal or painted with a dark patina, depending on the floors.
A journey into art and design, ennobled by paneling, hand-painted wallpapers, bas-reliefs of arches and pilasters, large antique mirrors. Then again, metal and alabaster wall sconces, ochre and brown carpeting with floral motifs. A triumph of 20th-century Milanese art.
A Gallery, but also a Living room, with theatrical settings, atmospheres of other times. When cuisine is beauty, it is art, it is entertainment, it is the pleasure of sharing.
