Romantic and design, historic and brand new: here are the fifteen best places where to look at Milan from a privileged perspective. Enjoying good food and great mixology
Until a few years ago the idea of having dinner or having a drink on the upper floors was at the limits of the eccentric, either because the premises were few and want for the reason that the panorama – with the exception of Piazza del Duomo and the Castello Sforzesco – did not stand up to comparison with the one admired from the roofs of the capital. But the birth of New Milan, with the most important Italian skyline, has changed history: today, as soon as possible, the terraces of hotels and restaurants are opened. And the higher they are, the better.

Here, therefore, in our opinion, the 15 best terraces in Milan, certain that in the coming seasons more will be added.
15 terraces above Milan
Hilton Milan
It is the terrace, very popular for events, of the four stars in Via Galvani 12, where the aperitif is served, in collaboration with Martini, with the finger food of the restaurant Concept 45 and dj set.
Terrace 12
A chic lounge on the tenth and top floor of the Brian & Barry Building in Piazza San Babila. Ideal for an aperitif or a post-dinner linked to a dinner at the Asola restaurant of the expert Matteo Torretta, connected by a flight of stairs.
Terrace Hotel Viu
On the eighth floor of the boutique hotel in front of the Monumental, it is the icing on a cake already valid that includes the Bulk Bistrot and the gourmet restaurant by Giancarlo Morelli that also takes care of the food portion of the aperitif around the pool. Spatial view.
Felix Lo Basso Restaurant
In the complex of Town House Duomo, the greedy landing is that of the Apulian chef, Michelin-starred, who proposes a very delicious, Mediterranean cuisine, made of great raw materials. The outside tables are fabulous.
Radio Rooftop Bar
It is mandatory for the last generation Meliàs to have a rooftop at the highest level. The one in Milan does not disappoint: crazy the sunset view, lively atmosphere, international food & beverage.
Air Terrace
It is located on the roof of the Sina The Gray boutique hotel, five stars in Via San Raffaele. Chic atmosphere – from a private home with dehors – and an original view of the center, sipping a good mixology.
The Terrace of Via Palestro
Always loved the space on the fourth floor of the Swiss Center: it is divided into two areas, to offer suitable settings for both restaurant customers (of Italian cuisine) and cocktail people.
Giacomo Arengario
A historical brand of the city's catering and the Square with a capital P: the local of Giacomo inside the Arengario has a terrace on the Duomo for breakfast and aperitif. But the view from the windows of the restaurant is also good.
Triennale Terrace
One of the many good legacies of Expo 2015: the large space, rearranged, on the roof of the Triennale where you can drink or taste the good cuisine of Stefano Cerveni at the Osteria con Vista (splendid, we add).
Torre Restaurant
On the sixth floor of the Prada Foundation: the restaurant focused on Italian cuisine has a large outdoor terrace with folding tables and a bar area with sectional tables. The decor? At the top.
Sky Terrace & Bar Milan Scala
The sky terrace of the hotel in the heart of Brera has one characteristic: a good part of the raw material for the dishes, cocktails and finger foods served at the aperitif arrive from the urban garden on the lower floor.
Gaul Terrace
The total renovation of the hotel next to the Central Station gave the Milanese a beautiful terrace, cared for by the trenchant Cerea brothers. Great quality thanks to the excellent dishes signed by the Lebano brothers, top-level cocktails and impeccable service.
The Gare Rooftop Bar
The Sofitel eco-friendly hotel – in the Central area – has an elegant, modern rooftop bar on the thirteenth floor with a view of the city. Good cocktails, live music, great view of the center.
Terrazza Rinascente
The best element of the food hall is undoubtedly the terrace of the Maio restaurant. The menu is the expression of Italianness, but you can also drink only the aperitif. The plus? The spiers seem to be at hand …
Ceresio 7
The history of the Milanese terraces has changed: the two famous pools were not enough to have a drink, they line up a group of tables on the outside of the room. Elio Sironi for the kitchen and Guglielmo Miriello for mixology are an absolute certainty.
