Acanto restaurant offers a fresh and very Milanese alternative to diners, thanks to Chef Alessandro Buffolino. The menu is made up of classic Italian cuisine, its flavours exalted by the talent of the Chef who combines a lightness of touch with a newly gauged cooking technique; presenting dishes of high aesthetic value.
The primary inspiration for the Acanto* menu has been derived from the regional culinary tradition of Italy, to which the Chef has merged flavours from the Mediterranean and beyond to create delicate dishes infused with a world of flavour. Nothing but the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients will be used throughout – and to add charm to the dining experience, the famous designer Paul Valet, international known for his show kitchens created around the world for Alain Ducasse, has installed for the first time in Italy a state of the art show kitchen with the latest high tech equipment and glass panelling; enabling guests to observe the chefs at work in the kitchen from their tables.
The architecture of the veranda, conceived by Celeste Dell’Anna, enhances the view to the Italian landscaped garden that boasts an 18th century fountain; a real pleasure for the eyes to accompany the pleasure on the palate.
During the day the sunlight shines through an octagonal-shaped glass dome, allowing diners to feel immersed in nature – then in the evening, the atmosphere is magically transformed as the garden is illuminated.
Acanto embodies a grand Milanese restaurant, set in a contemporary and refined style; with walls of natural beige fabric and the use of two different kinds of woods throughout.
