Bulgari Hotel

Milan


Whether experienced inside beneath the giant botanical sculptures at the earth-toned bar or outside on the terrace overlooking the brilliantly green garden, the aperitivo scene here is an intense slice of Milan life. The second-cheapest wine on the list may weigh in at €17 but it's cheap for the theatre, darling. The restaurant serves a light Med menu.
