Carlo e Camilla in Segheria

Between his Michelin stars and television roles, Carlo Cracco hardly needs an introduction. A world-renowned celebrity chef, it comes as no surprise that his newest venture, Carlo e Camilla in Segheria, tops the list of Milan's hottest places to dine. Housed in a former sawmill (segheria), the restaurant has retained its industrial interior but sets the bar for swank under the artistic direction of Cracco's partner, Tanja Solci. The 65-seat table in the shape of a cross and glass chandeliers give the open space a gothic feel, but Solci softens the ambience with an assortment of vintage crockery and whimsically decorated paper ware, lending a homey touch to the communal setting. Chef Emanuele Pollini's menu evolves constantly and features fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared in unexpected ways, matched perfectly by an equally unusual line-up of cocktails prepared with meticulous precision by the Segheria's superstar barista. The only drawback? Reservations can be hard to come by, so make your booking well in advance!
