🇮🇹 Milan

Stanley Tucci visits this legendary Milanese bar, widely credited with inventing the Negroni Sbagliato — a twist on the classic Negroni made with Prosecco instead of gin. Tucci enjoys the aperitivo culture here, sipping the iconic cocktail that put Bar Basso on the global map.

A beloved Milanese institution near the Duomo, Luini has been serving panzerotti — deep-fried or baked dough pockets stuffed with tomato and mozzarella — since 1888. Tucci stops here to taste this quintessential Milanese street food snack.

Tucci visits this classic Milanese trattoria to experience the city's deep tradition of offal and working-class cooking, rooted in the old slaughterhouse district. The restaurant serves rustic dishes like nervetti (boiled veal cartilage salad) and other cucina povera staples that shaped Milanese cuisine.

One of Milan's oldest and most storied restaurants, this trattoria specialises in classic Milanese dishes including risotto alla Milanese — the saffron-rich golden risotto that is one of the city's signature plates. Tucci dines here to understand the deep history of this iconic dish.

A historic Milanese pastry shop with roots going back to 1824, Tucci visits Marchesi to sample panettone — the tall, domed, candied-fruit-studded bread-cake that Milan gave to the world. The shop is considered one of the finest producers of this iconic Christmas delicacy.
