Following openings in Beijing, Dubai and Shanghai, the three-Michelin-starred Chef Niko Romito brought his acclaimed restaurant back to where it all began: Italy—specifically, to the Bulgari Hotel Milano. Chef Niko has created his own concept around contemporary Italian cuisine, spending two years studying traditional techniques and ingredients in order to build a canon of modern Italian cooking in which flavour is foremost and the essence of "Made in Italy" comes through in every element.

This streamlining of classic methods in pursuit of an ingenious new paradigm is at the heart of the menu, so that guests are taken on an exceptional culinary journey that includes Niko's signature dishes such as 'Antipasto all'Italiana' and recodified versions of the traditional Lasagna, veal Milanese, Potato Ravioli with Red Prawns and Squids, and Tiramisù.

Chef Niko has enriched the menu with some new recipes that have been created exclusively for the Italian property such as Codfish, Potato Mayonnaise and Bell peppers, Black Pepper Beef, Tortelli with Ricotta cheese, Spinaches and 'Manteca' butter, Spaghetti and Tomato, Bread and Chocolate.

The dining room of Il Ristorante is equal parts refined and relaxed, with an effortless sense of glamour that transitions seamlessly from day to night. During spring and summer, outdoor dining is available.

A generous oval bar in black resin dominates this cocktail bar in Milan, set against a spectacular glass wall that opens onto the serene luminosity of the private garden. A meeting place not only for hotel guests but for in-the-know Milanese, the cocktail hour takes on the flavor of the classic Italian aperitivo, with a wide choice of traditional and innovative drinks, including the exclusive Bulgari Cocktail. The bar also offers a fine selection of loose leaf and herbal teas. The entire restaurant menu is available from the bar - the same excellent dishes served in a less formal way.

The Bulgari Hotel garden, designed by landscape architect Sophie Agata Ambroise, offers several options that are ideal for meetings and private events, each with a capacity of 50 people and with truly unique exclusivity. Trees and hedges create a series of open-air rooms; that can be interconnected or partitioned off, with four slight shifts in elevation, three of which are planted with grass.

AFTERNOON TEA
The Afternoon Tea Menu lets guests sample the La Pasticceria collection, with five mignon versions of Chef Niko's signature creations included in the service. Exclusively designed by Niko Romito for Bulgari Hotels in Milano, Dubai, Beijing and Shanghai, traditional treats like cannolo and cassata cake have been reinvented for a more modern palate, with the chef taking a lighter approach to classic desserts. In addition to the pastries from La Pasticceria - Niko Romito, the Afternoon Tea menu includes three savory snacks, such as Bomba with Milk Fed Veal and Tuna Sauce, Bread with Smoked Salmon, Wild Fennel and Orange and Mini Tomato Bruschetta, to be paired with a variety of organic tea blends.
