The summer of Milan (and beyond) returns to cheer the cuisine of the volcanic cook, birth bell, Milanese by adoption, cosmopolitan in spirit
Never stop
When it is said that moments of difficulty can often be the occasion for unexpected development, it can be taken Viviana Varese as an example: not only did she not get intimidated by the lockdown and the pandemic, but she transformed this extraordinary historical moment into an opportunity for growth.
After the initiatives of Delivery of which we speak in our June issue (the family packages "from up to up" full of the delights of its artisan suppliers), on June 5 another idea arrives. Is called Long live the Terrace on the Lake and it is a temporary restaurant that the cook calls a "contemporary tavern": it is located in Manerba del Garda and embodies one of the ideals that make up Viviana's "ethical" manifesto, the Family. In fact, he was born with the support of his sister Antonella Varese and the chef Fabio Mazzolini that in recent years with the local Dalie and Fagioli had contributed to making this place magical in the province of Brescia. From 5 June you can take fantastic aperitifs overlooking the lake, accompanying them with small Venetian cicchetti, or dine with dishes with names that make you dream and / or smile like "Once upon a time", "Did you eat grandma?" "… you tell your sister!"
And in Milan …
After the opening of the terrace, it touches the beating heart of Milan, Piazza XXV Aprile. Simultaneously with the reopening of Viva, on June 18, Viviana launches Live in the square, a new experience for the Milanese who can enjoy a starry aperitif in complete safety, outdoors (25 euros), followed – if they wish – by a dinner with tasting menu (70 euros). Italian bubbles, Gin, raw fish, oysters and signature cocktails in full compliance with the safety distances and with menus that can be consulted via QR code.
Who is more traditionalist, will be able to taste the tasting menus sitting at the restaurant tables on the second floor of Eataly Emerald, overlooking the same square, positioned 3 meters from each other. The historical dishes of the cook are the protagonists of the two proposals "History is alive!" (90 euros) and "Re-viva-l" (120 euros).
