Cracco in Galleria

Carlo Cracco's multi-level restaurant inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II: one Michelin star, a private fumoir, and a wine cellar with 10,000 bottles. The address is the argument.

Cracco opened in 2018 inside the Galleria itself, which is the whole point: the primo-piano dining room naturally faces into the Galleria, with the light shifting across the glass dome. Carlo Cracco's cooking is contemporary Italian, technically precise without being cold: the marinated egg yolk with asparagus and black truffle is the signature; the saffron risotto with bone marrow and a dusting of Ecuadorian cocoa is the local touchstone (Cracco's spin on risotto alla Milanese: rich, bitter, aromatic, not gamey). There's a ground-floor café/bistrot for daytime, the fine-dining room upstairs, and a private fumoir for caviar and oysters. The cellar holds over 10,000 bottles. The lunch tasting is the cheaper way in.
