Description

The tribute that the Grand Hotel dedicates to Giuseppe Verdi is accompanied, in the small historic rooms of the Don Carlos, by a tribute to Milanese and Italian cuisine, perhaps with a Mediterranean nuance introduced by multi-star Gennaro Esposito, here as a consultant, and carefully executed. In a succession of sketches, pictures and paintings dedicated to the world of opera, for music lovers the restaurant is a must-visit. Caruso Nuovo, on the other hand, with its bistro formula, can be an always inviting and less demanding alternative.
