Milan, Il Caffé Letterario: much more than just a Café
A cross-road which is also a fascinating meeting point in the heart of the city: a bright area of Via Solferino which runs into Brera; the silence of Via Marsala & the bustling pedestrian area of Garibaldi; the tree-lined end of Via San Marco which leads into the 'Bastioni.'
This is where you will find the Caffé Letterario. A place full of life & colour, where you will feel "at home away from home", with a welcoming & relaxed atmosphere, where you can leave stress behind & enjoy an old-fashioned hot chocolate, or re-discover the tradition of a cup of tea, with 15 blends to choose from.
AN ATMOSPHERE OF GENTLE CULTURE: TOGETHER WITH BOOKS, COMMENTS, MUSIC & IDEAS.
At the Caffé Letterario you can skim through a variety of books scattered over the tables, take them away to read at leisure & return them, together with your comments to be circulated. You are also invited to leave your own books for circulation, to be re-collected with the comments of others who have read them; all in the spirit of exchanging culture & emotions which form part of our philosophy.
Musical concerts, photograph & painting exhibitions, editorial presentations, theme events dedicated to the love of good food, literature, cinema & the theatre are the affectionate drivers of our Café & the catalyst for a winning evening.
LET'S NOT FORGET GOOD FOOD!
From 12:00 until 14,30
For lunchtime we offer a one-course meal, with particular attention to vegetarian diets, often considered boring & monotonous, but which for us provide a real test of excellent flavours.
For those who like to drink tea with their lunch we offer a wide range of combinations: white Pau Mu Tan tea with smoked tuna; Gunpowder Special green tea with aubergine mousse; Jasmin Chung Hao or Kimono Melange with fish or wholemeal rice; Rose Jade Oolong with fillet of beef, black Indian Darjeeling with courgette tartlets or chestnut dumplings.
From 18,00 to 20,00
Aperitif time is time for good Italian wines, accompanied by plates of salame & cheese which form part of our traditional gastronomic excellence.
From 20,00 to 23,30
We offer an intriguing & varied evening menu, with a decidedly interesting wine cellar.
We have also planned a series of special evenings which will bring to the table other cultural & gastronomic traditions - starting with Jewish & Arabian dishes - which we look forward to exploring with you .
Good food & good wine will also provide us with the opportunity to revisit famous literary characters (in particular from crime stories) following their cuisine: dipping into the pages to discover the dishes which have enamoured us of Maigret, Pepe Carvalho, Arsenio Lupin, Montalbano, Nero Wolfe, Colombo.... But there will also be evenings dedicated to the romantic & sensual cuisine which is emblematic of the recipes of Afrodite , from the book by Isabel Allende.
We look forward to meeting you.
We are currently working with enthusiasm on a programme which will also include the ideas provided by our guests.
