Corso Garibaldi is an important artery of Milan that starts from the famous Corso Como (the trendy nightlife area) with the business center of Piazza Gae Aulenti and its glass skyscrapers that have redesigned the city skyline; next to it we have the famous vertical forest in Porta Nuova by the architect Stefano Boeri decreed as the most beautiful skyscraper in the world. On the opposite side of the street we find tradition: the picturesque Brera district, the city’s good living room with the famous art gallery, the showrooms, the fashion ateliers and its elegant nightlife. In the middle of all this, but right in the middle, there is us!
Our place is really very beautiful, externally it has a characteristic portal with granite columns that supports a small terrace, the wide sidewalk in front hosts the dehor made with those recycled furnishings that characterize all our shops, in this case old cast iron sewing machines act as tables on which tourists and Milanese practice their favorite sport: looking at how passers-by are dressed! Inside, you take a dip into the past that has the feel of an old Tuscan tavern.
Wooden beams and ceilings, reclaimed tables made with 19th century shutters, cinema chairs, boiserie on the walls, coverings made with old polychrome tiles and many other details, such as photos and old invoices on the walls or shelves full of brushes and colors of a ceramic painter. The two bathrooms are both a little jewel and even the lower floor has that warm and familiar atmosphere that puts everyone at ease with old wooden shelves full of bottles and the ceiling made with old wooden planks of a ceramist. In total we can accommodate about 70 people inside and about 25 outside and we often host private events, presentations, free-time company and graduation parties.
Coming to the important things in life here is a small summary of our gastronomic offer: first of all our famous and spectacular mixed platters of cold cuts, cheeses, croutons and jams, the stuffed Tuscan schiacciata, salads, carpaccio, fondues and the famous Chianti porchetta, plus obviously some hot dishes of the day of the Tuscan tradition. La Prosciutteria di Firenze in Corso Garibaldi in Milan has a very careful pricing policy and for this reason it is often crowded, so booking is recommended! If you plan to arrive by metro, you will find us equidistant between the Moscova and Lanza stops on the green line.
Finally, we remind you that here, as in all our establishments, it is possible to do your shopping and take home all the products tasted like an old but modern “grocery store”.
La Prosciutteria Brera is one of the most appreciated destinations for aperitivo in Milano Brera, at the exact point where the city changes its register: on one side, the contemporary energy of Porta Nuova, on the other, the timeless charm of Brera. The result is a venue that blends elegance and spontaneity, perfect for unwinding after work, meeting with friends, or indulging in a tasteful break in the heart of Corso Garibaldi. During peak times, it’s wise to plan ahead: word of mouth spreads quickly here, and for good reason.
The entrance is spectacular: a portal with granite columns supporting a small terrace, framing one of the most recognizable spots on the street. Outside, on the sidewalk, there’s the atmosphere of a Milan that strolls and observes: here, aperitivo time is also a “street pleasure,” made of conversations and glances at passersby.
Inside, the atmosphere is warm and enveloping. Wooden beams and ceilings, tables built from nineteenth-century shutters, cinema seats, wood paneling, and polychrome tiles: every element seems chosen to tell a precise idea of hospitality. The interior design of La Prosciutteria Brera recalls the atmospheres of old Tuscan taverns, with wooden beams and reclaimed furniture that give personality to the spaces. Vintage elements like tables made from old nineteenth-century shutters and cinema chairs create a truly evocative atmosphere for every guest. Thanks to these details, the venue becomes a true journey into tradition.
Completing the narrative are curious details waiting to be discovered: vintage photographs and invoices on the walls, shelves with brushes and paints that belonged to a ceramic painter, and two bathrooms that look like small sets, as carefully designed as rooms in a home.
La Prosciutteria Brera is designed to be experienced in many ways: a quiet table for a lunch break, a quick meeting on the terrace, or a long evening that turns into a celebration. The spaces are intelligently distributed: approximately 70 indoor seats and 25 outdoor, plus a lower floor with wooden shelving and a ceiling that adds character, ideal for those seeking a more intimate atmosphere.
Special occasions often take shape here: presentations, informal corporate gatherings, graduation parties, and celebrations. The organization of the spaces allows for managing groups without losing that “workshop feel” that makes the experience personal and never impersonal.
The menu focuses on taste, abundance, and recognizable ingredients. It’s the type of cuisine that’s meant to be shared: you order for the table, taste a bit of everything, and discuss it together.
The charcuterie boards are the venue’s signature: a selection of cured meats and cheeses, accompanied by crostini and artisanal preserves designed to create delicious contrasts. The boards offered by the venue are the crown jewel of the gastronomic proposal, with high-quality selections accompanied by artisanal preserves. The seasonality and freshness of the ingredients make each board a memorable tasting experience.
When something more “substantial” is needed, the stuffed schiacciate take center stage: fragrant, generous, perfect for an informal meal. Alongside, a menu that varies with hot dishes and daily specials: carpaccios, large salads, fondues, and Chianti porchetta, a great classic that tells a precise and reassuring tradition. The Tuscan schiacciata, filled with genuine ingredients, is another specialty not to be missed, along with the hot daily dishes that vary based on availability and seasonal tradition. Among the most beloved offerings is the famous Chianti porchetta, which captures all the goodness of Tuscan cuisine in one bite. These dishes are perfect for a rich and complete aperitivo.
To enjoy the atmosphere more peacefully, early in the week or the time slot just before the evening “peak” often work well. On weekends, however, it’s better to anticipate the crowds and make a reservation.
Corso Garibaldi is an axis that connects two souls of the city: the contemporary horizon of Piazza Gae Aulenti and the Vertical Forest designed by Stefano Boeri, and the cultural elegance of the Brera district, with the Pinacoteca, showrooms, and streets that light up in the evening with a more refined social scene. The Brera district represents one of the beating hearts of Milan, with lively nightlife and a unique cultural offering. Corso Garibaldi serves as an ideal reference point for those who want to experience the best aperitivos in the city.

The location is also convenient for those traveling without a car: the venue is equidistant between Moscova and Lanza (green line). Those arriving by car can count on various parking solutions in the area, taking into account access rules and busier time slots.

The versatility of the location makes it the ideal place for business lunches, aperitivos with friends, or relaxed dinners, guaranteeing an elegant yet informal environment. The spaciousness of the indoor and outdoor areas allows for welcoming different types of clientele, while attention to detail contributes to creating a pleasant and familiar atmosphere.
