Sunday is the quietest night in Milanese fine dining. The city’s top tables, led by the three-Michelin-star Enrico Bartolini al Mudec and the two-star Seta at the Mandarin Oriental, close on Sunday and Monday, and so do many of the chef-driven rooms in Brera and Porta Romana.
What stays open is a specific kind of Sunday room: the rooftops that run on hotel and aperitivo traffic, the historic seafood houses that have kept seven-day service for decades, and the all-day caffè from the Aimo e Nadia family. Every restaurant below is confirmed for Sunday service as of June 2026, with the exact window and the dish worth ordering when you sit down.
Langosteria
Seafood · Porta Genova · around €90–150
Sunday hours: Dinner 6:00pm–midnight.
Enrico Buonocore opened Langosteria on Via Savona in 2007 and turned raw fish and a martini into Milan’s definitive see-and-be-seen seafood room. The king crab, the Catalana of crustaceans and the raw selection are the menu, and the Sunday-night crowd is fashion-week regulars year round. It runs dinner only on Sunday, from six until midnight, which makes it the city’s best late Sunday option at the top end. Book the main dining room rather than the bar if you want the full kitchen.
Da Giacomo
Seafood · Porta Vittoria · around €70–110
Sunday hours: 12:30pm–3:30pm and 7:30pm–midnight.
Da Giacomo opened in 1958 and has held its corner of Via Sottocorno since 1989, the bottle-green dining room that old Milan books when it wants seafood without theatre. Spaghetti alle vongole, the fritto misto and the catch of the day are the order, and the kitchen runs the same hours seven days a week, Sunday included for both lunch and dinner. This is the Sunday lunch the city’s families have kept for two generations. Reserve the front room and ask for the daily fish.
Ceresio 7
Rooftop Italian · Porta Volta · around €90–140
Sunday hours: Lunch 12:30pm–3:00pm; dinner 7:30pm–11:00pm.
Ceresio 7 sits on the roof of the Dsquared2 headquarters with two pools and a view across the Porta Volta skyline, with chef Elio Sironi running a modern Italian menu under the parasols. The spaghettone with bottarga and the grilled fish carry the kitchen, and the bar pours until one. Sunday keeps both lunch and dinner service, which is rare for a rooftop of this level. Book a poolside table at sunset and plan to stay for the bar.
Giacomo Arengario
Italian · Duomo · around €70–120
Sunday hours: 12:30pm–2:30pm and 7:00pm–11:30pm.
Giacomo Arengario is the dining room on top of the Museo del Novecento at Via Marconi 1, with the spires of the Duomo close enough to touch from the terrace. The Giacomo group cooks a polished Milanese-Italian menu of risotto, cotoletta and seafood pastas, and the location makes it a default for a Sunday after the museum or the cathedral. Sunday runs full lunch and dinner service. Request a terrace table facing the Duomo and book it well ahead.
Voce Aimo e Nadia
Modern Italian · Piazza della Scala · around €60–100
Sunday hours: 9:00am–8:30pm (continuous service).
Voce is the all-day room the Aimo e Nadia family runs inside the Gallerie d’Italia on Piazza della Scala, a bookshop and caffè wrapped around a serious kitchen. It carries the DNA of the two-star Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia at an easier price, and its continuous Sunday service from nine until half eight covers brunch, a long lunch and an early dinner in one room. This is the most flexible upscale Sunday in the centre. Sit in the courtyard and order the seasonal pasta.
Dry Milano
Pizza and cocktails · Brera · around €25–45
Sunday hours: 6:00pm–2:00am; pizzeria 7:00pm–1:00am.
Dry on Via Solferino paired a top-ranked Neapolitan pizza kitchen, led by pizzaiolo Lorenzo Sirabella, with one of Brera’s best cocktail bars, and the combination has carried it into the 50 Top Pizza ranking. The margherita and the daily specials come out of the oven while the bar mixes the aperitivo, and Sunday is one of its busiest service nights. This is the casual end of a Sunday in Milan, dressed up. Come early for a table or take a bar seat and order both.
How Milan dines on Sunday
Milan treats Sunday as the industry’s day off. The Michelin-starred rooms and the ambitious tasting tables overwhelmingly close on Sunday and Monday, which is why the open field skews toward rooftops, hotel dining and the historic seafood houses that never adopted the two-day weekend. If a name is not on a confirmed list, assume it is closed and call.
Book ahead even on a quiet Sunday, particularly during fashion weeks, the Salone del Mobile in April or any major fair at Rho, when the open rooms fill fast. Service is included in Italy, so a small rounding-up rather than a percentage tip is the norm. Dress is smart, and Milan in particular rewards looking the part on a Sunday evening at Langosteria or Ceresio 7.
For the most Milanese Sunday, build the day around the centre: a long lunch at Da Giacomo or Giacomo Arengario, an afternoon stretch at Voce by La Scala, then a late table at Langosteria or a bar seat at Dry. The rooftops are the safest weather bet from spring through early autumn.
