Caffè Floretta

Here, the rhythms of the day are honored. Morning light filters through trailing greenery as breakfast begins. Hours pass lunch, afternoon tea, aperitivo hour that settles into easy sociability. Stay as long as you like.

Our Story

Each moment unfolds with intention. Unhurried meetings over panettone French toast and fine Italian coffee. Lunch invites pause: soul-warming carbonara omelets, linguine zested with lemon. Afternoon brings its own pleasures—delicate teas, Signora Francesca's apple tart, the luxury of nowhere else to be.

Beyond the table, this is a space for gatherings and salons that spark curiosity, cultural encounters you didn’t expect.

Design

The city hums beyond these walls, but here, beneath a soaring glass dome, everything quiets. Find your table, settle in. Velvet banquettes, botanical abundance, space to think or connect. As the day shifts, so does the mood. Intimate in the early hours, animated by midday. Come evening, the space transforms—a coveted backdrop for private celebrations that feel entirely your own.

Spiga

A new expression of Italian cuisine on Via della Spiga. Fulvio Pierangelini's vision is radically authentic, rigorously refined – cooking as an act of devotion. To the essence of an ingredient. To the quiet virtuosity that defines every plate. An invitation to rediscover the pleasure of time well spent.

Pierangelini's menus honor Milan's culinary heritage through reverential reinvention. Ingredients from trusted artisan partners. Techniques refined until they become imperceptible. Dishes that transform Italian classics without losing their soul.

Paneled leather the color of aged cognac, candlelight pooling on linen. Nothing demands your attention, yet everything holds it. Silver trolleys glide past delivering a touch of theatre. Every gesture considered: intuitive, unhurried, personally attuned. You sink into velvet, lean in closer, let the evening unfold. The room slows, time suspended. A rare alchemy – feeling entirely at ease while being part of something unforgettable. The kind of place that becomes yours.

The Carlton Bar

The Carlton Bar serves time itself: slowed, savored, stretched until aperitivo dissolves into dinner and dinner into the night. This is Milanese cocktail ritual, reimagined for those who know where to look. Step outside to The Carlton Garden, a leafy enclave hidden away in the heart of the Quaditlatero. A bar for the discerning and the curious. Staying longer than you'd planned is inevitable.

Maestro Salvatore Calabrese doesn't follow rules: he writes them, then breaks them masterfully. Each cocktail invites you to stay a little longer, blending precision with creativity: perfectly stirred martinis, revived liqueurs and global inspirations with a Milanese touch. To complete the experience, Fulvio Pierangelini’s dishes offer refined Italian ingredients, clean flavors and small plates designed to share.

As the sun sets, Forte Hour comes alive at The Carlton Garden. DJ beats, crafted cocktails and a vibrant crowd set the mood in an open-air oasis in the heart of the Fashion District. A stylish escape where music, design and effortless elegance meet. The place to be, right where Milan happens.

Low light gives way to golden hour. Intoxicating by design. Inside, Milan's discreet glamour recalls an era when elite salons were stages for creative rebellion. Marble shaped by art. Velvet the color of Italian dusk, leather softened to perfection. Outside, sun-dappled seating beneath a canopy of green. Tables within latticed alcoves, intimate and theatrical all at once. You'll think about this place once you've left. Make plans to return. Once is never enough.
