Spazio

Top choice in Duomo & San Babila


Located on the fourth floor of the Mercato del Duomo is chef Niko Romito’s low-key restaurant run by graduates of his culinary school in Abruzzo (where you'll find his three-Michelin-starred restaurant). Reserve a seat in the Sala dell’Albero and you’ll get an eyeful of the Duomo alongside delightfully unfussy plates of lemon pasta, and linguine with broccoli rabe and anchovies.
