We are in the northern area of industrial Milan, in the La Cagnola district, in a charming private street where there was an old farmhouse in the past. In this urban corner, Chef Tommaso Arrigoni has created a suspended world – a small restaurant with only 50 selected seats – where elegance, harmony and taste coexist in a delicate balance.

El Pecà means still enjoying those pleasures that life can offer. Welcomed and advised by Filippo and Carlo, followed by the expert hands of chef Romeo, you will be surprised at how excellence in terms of raw materials can be transformed into creativity.

Marea Seafood & Beverage

$$$$ Via Papa Gregorio XIV, 16, 20123, Milan
Italian Premium Casual
Marea is a modern place, not a restaurant and cocktail bar; it is a hybrid, as we would say today, "gender fluid". Open from 6 pm to 2 am; it can cover the aperitif, dinner consisting of a menu divided into the low and high tide, desserts and, after dinner, our signature cocktails. Creativity, love, respect for authentic flavours and care for others are the most essential ingredients that Filippo Martinelli inherited from his family, in addition to the hundreds of recipes handwritten by his grandparents, a precious memory of inestimable value. A knowledge that today takes shape in the chef's creations for Marea, giving new life to this beloved tradition and projecting it into the future through research, intuition and innovation.
