The Best Rooftop Bars And Restaurants In Milan, Italy

Owned by fashion house Dsquared2 and furnished by Studio Dimore (the globally renowned design duo celebrated for their period-inspired maximalism) Ceresio7 is one of the most stylish locations in the city. The bar, restaurant and pool are located in the penthouse of a skyscraper with unparalleled views of the city. Elegance and glamour aside, watching the sunset over Milan is what makes aperitivo at Ceresio7 great. The venue is exclusive and expensive so you can draw your own conclusion about the clientele.

Terrazza Aperol is the flagship of one of the ultimate Italian aperitifs, the Aperol Spritz, and the interior is an unapologetic homage to the drink – inside at the lounge bar, you are transported back to the 1970s with curvaceous orange and grey furniture, low-hanging orange lamps and the ‘groovy’ plasma-like bar. Like Duomo21 it is also has a prime spot within Galleria Vittorio Emanuele 1, and the terrace offers unparalleled views of the Duomo. The restaurant serves Italian classics with a twist, such as ossobuco alla milanese in gremolata, or double fillet of gilthead with poppy seeds, cherry tomatoes and chopped leccine olives and capers on potato. Aperitivo hour starts at 6pm.
