There is a place in Milan that feels like you’re transported into an authentic journey through Italy. This place is called Veramente. Nestled in the heart of Brera, at Via Palermo 11, Veramente is a restaurant that brings the essence of true Italian cuisine to life, offering a dining experience that is both refined and deeply rooted in tradition. Opened in 2024 by Gianmarco Venuto and Filippo Sirioni, Veramente was born from a vision to create an environment that celebrates Italy’s rich culinary heritage.
The restaurant takes inspiration from classic Italian osterie, evoking nostalgia and warmth while presenting dishes with a modern twist. The interiors are reminiscent of Italian living rooms from the 1970s and 1980s, creating a cosy yet stylish atmosphere that enhances the overall dining experience.
One of the thoughtful details that I particularly appreciated is the presence of individual jacket hooks at almost every table, allowing guests to keep their belongings close without mixing them with others—a small but meaningful touch. The open kitchen allows diners to witness the chefs in action, emphasizing the dedication and craftsmanship behind every dish.
At Veramente, each dish tells a story, representing the diverse regional cuisines of Italy. The restaurant takes great pride in offering a modern interpretation of traditional flavours, providing an experience that satisfies both the palate and the soul. Among the standout dishes, you’ll find Pici with Ragù, a Tuscan favourite featuring hand-rolled pasta coated in a rich meat sauce, and Octopus with Potatoes, a beloved Mediterranean dish that perfectly balances tenderness and flavour. These are just a few examples of the culinary delights awaiting diners at Veramente.
No Italian meal is complete without dessert, and Veramente delivers a gelato experience like no other. The restaurant modernizes this classic Italian treat by allowing guests to customize their flavours, making it a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Whether you're a local or a visitor exploring Milan, this is a place where you can truly immerse yourself in the authentic flavours of Italy.
