The 3rd-floor bistro of the Museo del Novecento offers extraordinary views over the Duomo. The artful decor combines beaux-arts brasswork, velvet sofas and lacquer finishes for a luxurious but understated atmosphere. Top-notch bistro dishes, including spectacularly fresh seafood and pasta dishes, are served by jacketed waiters. If you can, get a table in the glass-encased gallery or on the panoramic terrace.
