Some of our favorite pizzerias are:

• Capuano's, everything at this place founded by a person is straight out of Naples. There’s plenty on offer for those who prefer traditional wood-fired pizzas, including Cosacca, made with Conciato Romano, a rich and nutty Italian ewe cheese traditionally ripened in earthenware jars.

• Marghe is one of the culinary founders of pizza in Milan, which has been established as a source of guaranteed satisfaction. If you’ve never believed in love at first sight, after tasting Marghe’s pizza, you will probably change your mind.

power from the previous Visconti rulers. It was the residence of the Sforza dukes in the 15th century.

After, proceed with a walk through Porta Nuova district, a vibrant, futuristic district overlooking two of Milan’s more traditional neighborhoods. A perfect spot to explore the new soul of the city! This historic, formerly industrial area has been given a makeover thanks to an important and complex redevelopment plan that has now transformed it into Milan’s most futuristic district, redesigning and redefining both its skyline and character.
