Acanto Milan

Acanto sits on Piazza della Repubblica, 17. The restaurant holds a 2024 Wine Spectator Excellence Award and serves a menu that spans traditional and contemporary Italian cooking.

The dining room runs smart and elegant, but the real reason to choose Acanto is its relative stillness. While the city’s major landmarks, such as the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, are a short walk away, they often come with a frenetic pace that the restaurant manages to avoid. It is a more measured experience than the crowded venues pressed up against the Duomo, offering a focused wine list that justifies the short trek away from the tourist thoroughfares.
