Eat in Porta Nuova, Milan

Ristorante Berton ★ 4.3

Ristorante Berton in Milan's Porta Nuova district is Andrea Berton's one-Michelin-star kitchen, opened 2013. Kitchen leans modern italian, fine dining.

OrderThe broth tasting set; the bone-marrow risotto is the signature primo.

TipBookings open three weeks ahead. The cellar tour with sommelier Tobia Sironi is the editor's pick add-on; book at booking time.

Terrazza Calabritto Milano ★ 4.1

Terrazza Calabritto brought its Naples seafood house to Viale Monte Grappa by Porta Nuova: raw fish at the counter and Campanian pastas served late.

OrderThe crudo selection to start, then whatever pasta the kitchen is dressing with the day's catch.

TipClosed Sunday; Monday is dinner only. Budget 80 to 100 euros a head before wine and book the evening sitting several days ahead.

Book4 weeks ahead

TipBookings open four weeks ahead. The chef's counter overlooks the open kitchen; book the early sitting for the full course progression.

Hollywood Rhythmoteque ★ 4.0

Hollywood Rhythmoteque has anchored Corso Como since 1986, drawing a fashion-week crowd of footballers, models and Milan veterans to a glossy commercial floor that runs hip hop, house and pop across the working week.

TipTable service is the only realistic way in on a fashion-week Saturday; the cover is steep at the door and the dress code tightens past midnight.

Radio Rooftop at ME Milan Il Duca ★ 4.4

Radio Rooftop sits on the tenth floor of the ME Milan Il Duca hotel above Piazza della Repubblica, with a wraparound terrace, daily DJ sets and a cocktail programme that runs alongside the Aldo Rossi-designed lobby below.

TipA dedicated lift on Via Marco Polo bypasses the hotel reception; book the outdoor terrace for the skyline sightline rather than the indoor lounge.

Terrazza Gallia ★ 4.6

Terrazza Gallia sits seven floors above Piazza Duca d'Aosta on top of the Excelsior Hotel Gallia opposite Stazione Centrale, with chef Vincenzo Lebano cooking under consultancy from the Cerea brothers of Da Vittorio and a wraparound bar terrace open from noon to late.

TipThe bar runs through the dinner service so cocktails without dining are possible at the terrace counter; the view picks up the Pirelli tower and the Porta Nuova skyline.
