Squid au naturelle with toasted white polenta and new olive oil by Alice Delcourt of the restaurant Erba Brusca in Milan, +39.02.87380711, one of the 50 restaurants forming the scenario of the Identità Milano Fuoricongresso, on February 10th-12th 2013, divided into 3 categories - Milano d’autore (Signature Milan), Nuovi volti a Milano (New Faces in Milan) and La tradizione a Milano (Tradition in Milan) – today we focus on the 25 that crowd the first category

Once again, on the occasion of the ninth edition of Identità Milano (on 10th, 11th and 12th February 2013), we’ve selected the Fuori Congresso Restaurants in the Lombard capital and its province. On this occasion, these 50 establishments, on the days of the Congress (or the nearest days, should they be closed during the event) will offer their clients a menu or a dish dedicated to Identità Golose, at a special price.

The restaurants participating are divided into three groups: Milano d’autore (Signature Milan), Nuovi volti a Milano (New Faces in Milan) and La tradizione a Milano (Tradition in Milan). You can find the complete list on our website with the names of the chefs and the patrons, the addresses, contact details and menus. Among the Nuovi Volti a Milano you can also find establishments that are not strictly restaurants: shops and workshops with a tasting area, which we included due to their innovative offer, serving high quality and tasty products. This event aims at giving visibility to the participating establishments and attract curiosity and attention to them, not only on the relevant days but, naturally, for a much longer time, promoting the quality of the restaurant scene in Milan and its province.
