A Santa Lucia

A Santa Lucia is a small monument to Milanese tradition, retains the charm and character of its 1930s origins. The restaurant’s interiors are a time capsule, with the same chairs, tables, mirrors, and wooden paneling that were first transferred from the original location on Via Agnello. The decor is simple, original, and steeped in history, with over 400 framed photographs on the walls portraying the celebrities who have frequented the restaurant over the decades. A Santa Lucia has long been a favorite of Milan’s elite—hosting everyone from politicians and intellectuals to actors and stars of the entertainment world.

The menu stays true to its roots, offering timeless Neapolitan classics. Signature dishes include rigatoni strascicati with mountain tomatoes, basil, and chili, as well as the ever-popular spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino. And, of course, the pizza is authentically Neapolitan.
