"Milan, a place to be," read the sign that has been hanging for years on an overpass along Viale Forlanini, the wide road leading from Linate Airport to Piazza San Babila in the center of town.
Literally, "the place to be": Milan is the city that satisfies and nourishes the eyes, mind, spirit and even the palate. In fact, to the Milan city of excellence for notoriety in fashion, design and finance, we cannot but add the Milan renowned for catering. Lively and constantly evolving, today Milan is undoubtedly one of the most interesting scenes in Italy in the field of Food & Beverage, an industry, everywhere growing, but one that has increasingly acquired a starring role here. The city is home to a myriad of restaurants of all kinds, from star chefs to pizzerias, from restaurant stores to street food.
A different future starting with EXPO 2015
Inaugurated globally with EXPO 2015, the Milan food is now confirmed as a more than established reality. If it is true that EXPO 2015 has greatly increased interest in food & beverage, it would seem that the trump card of the Lombard capital is precisely its propensity for the new. The Milanese city market, in fact, is very keen to welcome innovative and international restaurant formats.
The sweet heart of the city
Despite being the birthplace of panettone, one of Italy's most iconic desserts, Milan has never been associated with the confectionery tradition.
Other Italian cities such as Palermo or Naples, in fact, are far better known around the world as home to mouth-watering delicacies. Yet, with the revolution brought by EXPO 2015, Milan today is the landing place for many of the best-known Italian pastry chefs. In the city projected into the future arrive under the spires of the cathedral blatant newcomers as Ernst Knam, Iginio Massari and Roberto Rinaldini. Thanks to these, and other competitive industry players, today in Milan you can taste the best of the world pastry.
