Wonderful experience! We had a table at the balcony area overlooking the Milan cathedral and the cathedral Square. The Dorothy cocktail (martini base) is recommended. Excellent dishes. The risotto was very tasty. Each dish served beautifully This is a place for a special evening in Milan

Stylish dining with a view – a wonderful experience at Giacomo Arengario Giacomo Arengario offers not only fantastic food but also an unforgettable setting. Located right by the Duomo, the view is absolutely breathtaking – the perfect backdrop for a special lunch or dinner. The food was excellent – fresh ingredients, beautifully plated, and full of flavor. A true reflection of refined Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, with a touch of old-school charm. The service was attentive, professional, and very welcoming. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt truly looked after throughout the entire meal. Giacomo Arengario is a must-visit in Milan for anyone who appreciates great food, great service, and stunning views. Highly recommended!

We went here when we traveled to Italy for our honeymoon. My husband accidentally made a reservation for their sister restaurant down the street, thinking it was this restaurant. They were nice about it and we were able to still get a seat near the window. Everything I ate here I enjoyed greatly. I loved their Ohana drink and their risotto. My husband also enjoyed the pasta he ordered. We had great views of the Duomo, and it was very cool to see at night.

Wonderful experience that made our Milan trip even more memorable. We booked a terrace table with a Duomo view and luckily got the last window seat with the view. Staff were very friendly and patient despite our limited Italian, and both managers made us feel welcome. Food exceeded expectations for a tourist spot — especially the beef tartare and pasta. Would love to return on a sunny day to enjoy the outdoor terrace!

If you want a lunch with a view, this is the place to be. Welcoming staff, and beautiful location. The food is good, and it came fairly quickly, which is always appreciated. I recommend you try it, if you're in the area and want to make your lunch time memorable.

Probably one of the best places to sit and enjoy beautiful view on Duomo. Plenty seatings inside and a few outside. Beautiful interior. You need to enter through museum and take elevator to get here. I really enjoyed mocktail I ordered, it was delicious and loved crunchy white chocolate :) also important note to you must come for food or at least cocktail to sit there, when I came staff asked me if for cocktail or coffee, as for coffee they wouldn’t let sit outside
