Borgia - Milano

$$$$ Via Giorgio Washington, 56, 20146, Solari, Milan

Italian Mediterranean Fine dining Elegant & Chic

An expression of Italian quality and hospitality. The story is the making of an Italy that dreams of past splendour, projecting it into the future. Psychology conjugated to taste. Trust. Contact. Dialogue. The goal is to stimulate you through a story about you and your desires through creativity, always putting people and their particularities first. “We are what we eat,” said Feuerbach. And this is what the restaurant tries to express through its gastronomic proposals: the ideas arise from the dominant thought according to which the relationship of each person with food is comparable to the relationships we build with the outside world and, in particular, with our identity. Thus was born the Psyche menu, a journey into your conscious and unconscious desires with which your mind is stimulated by establishing a relationship of trust to transform each dish into a journey of self-discovery.
