Tortona

An old industrial area of town that has been gentrified to become the hub of Milanese creativity. It has had a recent boom of cool bars and trendy restaurants in its converted and renovated warehouses, one of which is our preferred seafood restaurant in town, is the Langosteria. Designers, stylish people and all things cool head to Tortona, an area very different from the overall classically elegant Milan. Check out the Armani Silos museum, the grafitti walls scattered around the area, make your own perfume at LabSolue, enjoy an aperitivo at Morna, try the über cool GSTF for brunch or any meal, really. It is well worth the short ten-minute drive, for anyone wanting to see a unique area of Milan.
