Itinerary
1. Visit Sciuè Navigli, where Milanese aperitivo meets Neapolitan pizza tradition. Enjoy pizza fritta with a classic Campari Soda, all in the vibrant ambiance of the Navigli canals.
2. Step inside one of Milan’s most authentic housing styles. Discover shared balconies overlooking inner courtyards that tell the story of working-class community life, now reimagined as creative hubs, offering a quiet, intimate glimpse of Milan just steps from the lively Navigli canals.
3. Visit one of the most atmospheric corners of the Navigli. This historic alley recalls a time when washerwomen used the canal for daily work, with original stone washboards still visible. The flowing water and preserved setting offer a vivid glimpse into Milan’s pre-industrial past and community life.
4. Explore Milan’s historic canal district, where waterways once powered trade and daily life. Today it’s a lively neighborhood blending history, creativity, aperitivo culture, and charming streets along the water.
5. Stop at a beloved spot on the Naviglio Grande, known for top-quality meat sourced from a renowned local butcher. Enjoy polenta with Gorgonzola and a selection of premium charcuterie or carpaccio, paired with a glass of wine, all in a cozy yet contemporary Milanese setting.
6. This Milan institution from 1994 is dedicated to Ligurian specialties. Enjoy farinata, the classic chickpea focaccia baked in copper pans, or the famous focaccia di Recco, filled with creamy cheese.
7. Stop at an iconic restaurant in the Navigli, famous for reimagining Milanese classics. Enjoy risotto alla Milanese with saffron, a rich ossobuco meatball or venison ragu, perfectly paired with a glass of wine.
8. End on a sweet note with a Milanese icon: discover Mascherpa, where mascarpone takes center stage with a live demonstration of deconstructed tiramisù, paired with specialty coffee. As an alternative, have a cream, high quality gelato, made with natural and fresh ingredients.
