Offering sweeping views of Milan’s Porta Venezia park and city skyline atop the Fondazione Luigi Rovati, chef Andrea Apea’s latest location, designed by architectFlaviano Capriotti, serves carefully curated dishes inspired by this special location. Providing an intimate experience, diners at the 36-seat restaurant can enjoy watching their meals be prepared in real time while seated in the elaborate central dining hall, which is surrounded by walls covered with bucchero, a type of black ceramic originally used by Etruscans to make vases. Hanging overhead, a striking Murano glass and gold leaf chandelier serves as the perfect statement piece.

First opened in the summer of 2022, Andrea Aprea Restaurant marked the second location in Milan from the eponymous chef. Expectations were high but Aprea delivered – the restaurant was awarded its first Michelin star in mere months, with a second awarded in the 2024 guide. In addition to one-off special occasion menus, the restaurant runs three permanent set menus: Contemporaneità is about memory; Partenope examines a particular region of Italy; and finally, the star of the show, Signature – an eight-course menu rooted in Aprea’s culinary philosophies.

Located on the top floor of the Luigi Rovati Foundation - in a magnificent historic building that houses the Foundation's Art Museum - the restaurant brings together all the values of the gastronomic experience that Chef Aprea has defined in a twenty-year research path between tradition and modernity. Andrea Aprea's cuisine is based on the fusion in a single trait of personal and popular memories with gastronomic literature and the masters who preceded him. The root of the gastronomic experience begins in the choice of ingredients to be used.

Of these, four restaurants boast two stars (Ristorante Andrea Daprea, D’O, Verso Capitaneo and Seta by Antonio Guida), while one has reached the coveted three-star mark, the highest accolade in the restaurant world: Enrico Bartolini’s Mudec. The restaurants with one star are Aalto, Berton, Contraste, Cracco in Galleria, Felix lo Basso Home and Restaurant, Horto, IYO Taste Experience, Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia, Joia, Alchimia, Sadler and lastly VIVA Viviana Varese.

With multiple accolades, including two Michelin stars, Andrea Aprea lures wine-loving gastronomes to the top floor of the new art museum of the Luigi Rovati Foundation. The large, modern dining room anchored by a Murano chandelier seats only a handful of tables each night, creating the illusion of both space and intimacy. Chef Aprea, easily spotted in the kitchen doorway, delivers a multi-course masterclass in texture, colour and flavour.

Another Michelin-starred jewel in Milan is Andrea Aprea, a café-bistrot and gourmet restaurant. Named after the celebrated Chef Andrea Aprea, this newly-opened food paradise serves three menus, interestingly termed “itineraries”. Each of them has a set of courses and the best of the lot is the Signature, an eight-course extravaganza which just cannot be described in words!

Since it opened in 2022, Andrea Aprea’s eponymous restaurant has already claimed its first Michelin star. In a splendid Milanese palazzo, it has a hidden garden and a cosy bistro on the ground floor. Architect Flaviano Caprotti’s touch adorns the 400-square-metre dining space, complemented by a remarkable wine cellar with coveted labels from Ornellaia to Romanée-Conti.

The restaurant VUN Andrea Aprea (“vun” is Milanese dialect for “one”) has since 2011 been the namesake of Neapolitan-born chef Andrea Aprea, whose motto, “My contemporary cuisine looks to the future, but never forgets its origins,” is exemplified in both his Lombardian and Neapolitan dishes, some admirably simple, others with a dash of modernist technique.

Andrea Aprea is one of the city’s most celebrated chefs, so it’s no surprise he received two Michelin stars for his work. Andrea was born in Naples, and the restaurant celebrates the city's heritage and is heavily influenced by the cooking style in this region. Expect meat, fish, pasta, and vegetable dishes, all of which are perfectly cooked by the team.

VUN Andrea Aprea is a two-star Michelin restaurant in the Park Hyatt Milan, one of my favorite hotels in the city. Chef Andrea Aprea creates beautiful, contemporary dishes that give traditional Italian food a fresh, modern twist. We loved this Milan restaurant’s inventive flavor combinations and plate presentations.

Nestled atop the Fondazione Luigi Rovati, Andrea Aprea offers a breathtaking dining experience with panoramic views of Porta Venezia. Chef Andrea Aprea’s three tasting menus — Contemporaneità, Partenope and Signature — showcase his mastery at one of four restaurants in Milan with two Michelin stars.

Andrea Aprea and Anima are two new entrants that have just secured their place in the celebrated Michelin guide with one star each for their exceptional cuisine. These accolades were announced in the Milan Foodie Insider as part of the Michelin Guide 2022/23.

It was an amazing food experience. We went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. All the dishes were great! Everything included welcome dishes!
