When Milan Fashion Week arrives the city becomeses a stage where creativity spills beyond ateliers and catwalks into every corner of urban life. For those looking to extend the experience from the front row to the dining table, the city offers a wealth of options where gastronomy becomes part of the performance. Among the standouts this season are three destinations that embody the essence of Milan: Orizzonti, Remedy, and 142 Restaurant. Each offers its own narrative, but all share one thing: they transform dining into an act of style.

Orizzonti: Dining with a Skyline View

Perched on the thirteenth floor of the Uptown Palace, Orizzonti instantly sets itself apart with panoramic views of Milan’s skyline: a breathtaking backdrop stretching from the Duomo to the distant Alps. It’s the perfect stage for fashion insiders seeking a refined yet relaxed moment during a week where every detail matters.

Helmed by Michelin-starred chef Luca Pedata, Orizzonti’s menu celebrates Mediterranean creativity with surprising twists. Dishes like raw scallops with caviar and seawater-marinated watermelon, or spaghettoni with yellow datterino tomatoes, cuttlefish lardo, and fermented strawberries, tell stories of innovation rooted in seasonality. The ricciola “all’acqua pazza” balances freshness and intensity, while the restaurant’s signature reinterpretation of the Pastiera Cruda closes the experience on a note of nostalgia elevated into fine dining.

Beyond the plate, the interiors mirror the elegance of Milan itself: warm marble and wood tones, soft lighting, and an international sensibility. The bar area, overlooking the glittering city, is perfect for a sunset aperitivo or a late-night rendezvous.

Remedy: An Urban Escape in Porta Venezia

In the heart of Porta Venezia, Remedy offers a different kind of luxury all about slowing down, savoring, and stepping outside the relentless pace of fashion week. Founded by three friends with a shared passion for rare spirits and artisanal craftsmanship, Remedy has quickly become a refined yet welcoming haven.

Its design channels the sophistication of an Anglo-Saxon club while maintaining a distinctly Milanese energy. Wood-paneled walls, velvet chairs, and sculptural lighting create an environment that feels both intimate and cosmopolitan. It’s a place to pause, reflect, and recharge, making it a smart stop between runway shows and afterparties.

While Remedy’s reputation is strongly tied to its spirits and cellar, its food offering is equally curated. Guests can expect elegant bites —from artisanal cheeses and seafood tartare to delicately prepared carpacci— designed not to overwhelm but to elevate the experience. Even the details, such as the use of handmade ceramics from Puglia, highlight the commitment to craftsmanship that resonates deeply with fashion’s own ethos of materiality and design.

142 Restaurant: A New Chapter of Creative Energy

If Orizzonti offers sweeping perspectives and Remedy embodies timeless escape, 142 Restaurant represents transformation. Located on Corso Colombo, this beloved Milanese spot, founded by Sandra Ciciriello in 2019, is now entering a vibrant new era with chef Andrea Zazzara at the helm.

Zazzara, born in 1990 in Abruzzo and trained in Michelin-starred kitchens, brings a contemporary voice to 142’s already beloved Milanese identity. His cuisine is both essential and expressive, turning local and seasonal ingredients into stories that are at once personal and universal. Signature creations include risotto infused with kefir whey and linguine served in a broth of fish bones with green pepper and bay leaf powder, both dishes that balance bold creativity with grounded authenticity.

True to Ciciriello’s philosophy, 142 has become a living space that celebrates the rhythm of the day. From breakfast with French croissants to evening aperitivi with small plates and cocktails, the venue adapts to every mood and moment. Under Zazzara’s vision, the kitchen has evolved without losing its soul, an evolution that mirrors the energy of Milan Fashion Week itself: ever-changing, yet always rooted in identity.

Where Fashion and Flavor Converge

Each of these three destinations captures a different facet of Milan’s spirit. Orizzonti dazzles with its sky-high views and modern Mediterranean cuisine; Remedy offers intimacy, craftsmanship, and a welcome pause in the whirlwind of events; and 142 Restaurant embodies the city’s ability to reinvent itself while honoring its roots.

Together, they illustrate why dining in Milan during Fashion Week is an experience. Here, gastronomy becomes an extension of style, an art form where creativity, detail, and atmosphere matter just as much as on the runway.

So, whether you’re looking for a sky-high dinner with breathtaking views, a sophisticated hideaway in Porta Venezia, or a restaurant in constant evolution, Milan offers destinations. And in the week when fashion defines and defies the city, these three restaurants prove that taste is just another language of style.
