Dito Divino

Cocktails

A quiet place right in the heart of Milan, Dito Divino offers great service, fantastic wines, trendy cocktails and tasty snacks at affordable prices to its guests. A wide variety of high-quality international and Italian wines can be found in the restaurant’s very own wine cellar and the competent staff are always happy to assist in choosing the right wine. Dito Divino is the perfect place for a nice evening amongst friends on weekdays with its elegant atmosphere and great aperitivo offers. Although very central in its location, Dito Divino manages to preserve its local clientele, which makes the ideal place to mingle with the Milanese residents and explore the city’s culture and traditions.

Deseo

Sazerac – a classic alcoholic cocktail based on cognac or whiskey, which is mixed by the build method

Deseo, which can be found right outside Parco Sempione, just a few steps away from famous Arco della Pace, is known as both a relaxed lounge bar, for after-hours drinks, and a high-quality restaurant. The restaurant’s menu is outstandingly creative, diverse and tailored to its highly international clientele. Its signature drinks are the Affligem beers in blonde, double and triple that stand for mastered brewing techniques and a refined drinking experience. The classic range of cocktails as well as the stylish interior and trendy music make for a successful evening in a great location.

Bar Bianco

Bar Bianco, right in the center of Milan’s Parco Sempione, is largely popular as it’s a great spot for an aperitivo and for relaxed drinks after-hours. Happy hour, which is daily from 6pm to 10pm, not only offers a traditional Milanese aperitivo but also regularly features special cocktails and themed snacks from all over the world. This delicious culinary experience is complemented by appealing background music and attentive service. If you book in advance, you will be able to sit outside on the terrace or the patio and enjoy the sunset over the beautiful natural scenery of Parco Sempione.
