The aesthetics of a sophisticated location meet elegant architecture and innovative yet traditional cuisine: Ristorante Cracco is proof that all these elements can coexist in the same space. Chef Carlo Cracco has succeeded in bringing together restaurant dining, coffee meetings, wine tastings and private events in a single location. A comprehensive culinary experience, with offerings ranging from breakfast to post-theatre aperitifs, conveying the relentless pursuit of harmony between tradition and innovation that characterises his cuisine.

Café Cracco, on the ground floor of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, with its hand-painted walls and mosaics inspired by the exterior architecture, is the first place that will welcome you.

Enjoy your breakfast comfortably seated with a view of the Galleria or let yourself be pampered at our counter, choosing your favourite from brioches, small pastries or colourful single portions, all exclusively prepared in the workshop upstairs.

In the outdoor area of Café Cracco, you can enjoy a delicious aperitif, lunch or informal dinner, with a simple but complete gastronomic menu.

Here you can also taste our iconic pizza!

We would also like to remind our customers that the Café does not take reservations.

The boiserie, finished in delicate shades of blue-grey, leads into the restaurant’s three dining rooms and two private rooms, located on the first floor, revealing elegant and secluded spaces imbued with understated charm.

The culinary offering is presented through two tasting menus:

La Galleria, inspired by Milan’s celebrated culinary tradition, and Convito Felice, a personal and reflective gastronomic journey without boundaries or limitations.

The à la carte menu offers a selection of dishes in which Carlo Cracco and Luca Sacchi bring together tradition and exceptional ingredients, expressing a free-form creativity shaped by thought, technique and produce.

From the restaurant, two small ivory doors lead into the “Fumoir”, an intimate and elegant space inspired by Parisian bars and centred around a striking original counter dating back to the 1970s.

It is the ideal setting in which to extend the experience, exploring an extensive and carefully curated wine list, lingering over a fine spirit or one of the great classics of international mixology, while being enveloped by a timeless atmosphere, softly removed from the pace of metropolitan life.

In the basement, the exceptionally appealing and well-stocked wine cellar features fir and glass shelving surrounded by red lacquered walls. Over 2,000 labels and more than 10,000 bottles of mainly Italian and French wines are available for sale as well as tasting.

A special place featuring an exclusive access reserved for private events. Designed as a theater backdrop, thanks to its lack of fixed furnishings -except for the 1920’s inspired large Levanto marble bar counter – this area on the 2nd floor allows for the creation of a fully customized space.

In collaboration with Sky Arte and Cantine Ferrari, the project Galleria Cracco brings together some of the most important Italian and international contemporary artists to create site-specific works for the ‘lunettes’ over the shop windows of the mezzanine level. The three windows will be visible day and night to visitors of the Galleria.

Patrick Tuttofuoco’s Heterochromic inaugurated the project that blends art and cuisine, introducing a profound reflection, deeply correlated to the concept of identity. Utilizing neon, the artist transformed the two lunettes into eyes – the eyes of Carlo Cracco and Rosa Fanti – creating a unique entity that combines different irises.

The decision of representing sight stems from shared findings from Tuttofuoco and Cracco’s respective research: although using different tools, both are connected by common aesthetic research and by the resulting need to communicate and share.
