One of the best things about Milan are its hidden courtyards.

In the small street Via Santo Spirito you find an amazing courtyard restaurant in a historic building called Il Salumaio Di Montenapoleone. You can easily miss it, but that does not mean people dont find it. Maybe it is a local secret, but we managed to find this hidden pearl away from all the “action” on Monte Napoleone. And we were lucky to get a table outside (even though the inside is very nice too).

On the menu are Italian classics such as carpaccio, caprese, burrata and risotto. It is a bit pricy, but the food is really good and the courtyard is a nice break from the busy streets of the city.

There is also a small shop, where you can buy Italian classic delicacies to bring home such as cheeses, pasta and much more.

Via Santa Spirito, 10.
