Mercato del Duomo

Where Milan — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 10:43:08 +0000

By Stefania Vida

A Milanese journalist with a passion for her job, for years Stefania has covered the latest fashion and style trends in the city. After contributing to a number of high-end publications in the sector, she now works as the Lifestyle and Fashion Editor of Where Milan.

Il Mercato del Duomo, Autogrill’s new cathedral of taste, is located in the heart of Milan, in the city’s most famous square. Designed by revered architect Michele De Lucchi, the space is located in the famed ‘Living Room’ of Milan, i.e. the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Extending over 5,000 square metres on four floors, it reflects various stages in the processing of raw materials as well as a range of eating experiences, from food in its most simple and natural form to products worked and transformed into recipes, some to be enjoyed quickly, others to be savoured more slowly.

The vertically arranged experiential path through Il Mercato del Duomo (whose entrance is highlighted by a spectacular bronze olive tree by artist Adam Lowe) features various concepts, such as the iconic Bar Motta, a perfect blend of the old and the new, offering coffee-based products and a top-level croissanterie and il Mercato, a reproduction of a traditional city market showcasing the food stalls of producers and local suppliers.
Other highlights include il Bistrot Milano Duomo whose widespread offerings, covering two floors, promote Italian regional products and the revival of artisanal techniques.
The most glam area encompasses the Terrazza Aperol, a trendy venue overlooking Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and a symbol of the traditional Milanese aperitivo, the Wine Bar and, on the top floor, Spazio, a restaurant-workshop run by three-Michelin starred chef Niko Romito.

Mercato Metropolitano: Top-Quality Food in Navigli, Day and Night

Where Milan — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 10:44:07 +0000

Breaking news, there’s a new space in town! A place where, from May to October, you can purchase and sample typical Italian products beneath the stars. The space in question extends over a surface area of more than 15,000 square metres (mostly located outdoors) overlooking the Navigli, the heart of the Milanese ‘movida’. The Mercato Metropolitano now occupies an area that formerly housed the warehouses of the Porta Genova railway station. Long-since abandoned, the space has now been converted into a meeting place for people of all ages, sharing a desire to sample good food in a relaxing, informal atmosphere. The Mercato’s slogan is ‘Good Italian food is not a luxury’ and its objective is to provide fresh, high-quality products, purchased directly from those who produce them. This is the perfect place for those who wish to sample a little of what Italian cuisine has to offer without actually sitting down in a restaurant. Here you can find roughly 200 typical products, from freshly baked bread to meat, from pizza to fresh pasta, from seafood to salad. But there’s also a selection of craft beers, prized vintage wines and cocktails whipped up by the mixologists who ply their trade at Rita, one of the most famous cocktail bars in Milan. There are also no lack of tables and chairs where you sit down and a take a break before continuing to browse the market’s fruit stalls, small shops selling locally sourced products and its food trucks. Mercato Metropolitano is also a cultural hub. Not only does it boast a rich program of live events but it also has an open-air cinema designed to accommodate up to 500 spectators. Another reason to visit it? Mercato Metropolitano is a staunch supporter of food waste prevention. Every evening, the Fondazione Banco Alimentare Onlus (the Onlus Food Bank) rescues surplus food before it is wasted in order to donate it to 240 charitable institutions scattered across the city.

Open Mon-Thurs 11am-12midnight; Friday 11am-2am; Saturday 9am-2am; Sunday 9am-12midnight.
