Eating

Anadima:

Prozac is no match for 40 bocconi perfetti (perfect bites) of cold cuts and cheeses, 60 varieties of wine, and a serotonin-laced hot-pepper-chocolate soufflé. The manic pink and green pop-art decor looks on the bright side of every day or night by the Navigli.

Anna & Leo:

Contrary to popular Milanese myth, a delightful seafood dinner is not inevitably followed by a bill that leaves you gasping like a fish out of water. Pull up a seat in the garden and enjoy the company of local art gallerists, pleasant service, pasta for around €6 and fish dishes for around €7 .

Da Martino:

Get that new suit taken out if you must, but do not miss the Florentine steak at Da Martino. The three-inch-thick hunk of grass-fed beast arrives at your table with the bone still in, then carved with all due ceremony. Devour it with a side of roasted rosemary potatoes, but leave room for surprisingly avant-garde panna cotta with almonds and sour cherries.
