Saturday nights are good for sitting down with friends over a good glass of wine (or 2 or 3!) and when I feel like a change from Italian cuisine I find “Seven” is a nice alternative. The steak is good, and a friend ordered the chicken and couscous as pictured and was also happy.

The wine list is excellent and their special of the month is usually good value and good quality. They are well informed about wine and give good advice.

What I also like about this place is the atmosphere. The place is decorated in an interesting manner with a predominance of IKEA furnishings. Bright and colourful IKEA style, but nice and cosy too. Across the canal (not quite a Venetian canal, but a canal nevertheless) you can stop off for an after dinner drink or dance.

You can also find Seven restaurants more central on Corso Columbo, 11 and Viale Monte Nero, 29.

I love the hammam. When I moved to Milan I tried to find a good one with all the atmosphere of the traditional Turkish steam bath. Hammam Moresko near piazza De Angeli, in the San Siro area, is a stylish and pleasant place to go. They have many different treatments before and after the steam bath. It’s better to check online what you want to do and book in advance. They have two different hammam for men and women.

Once I was there with some friends, we spent half a day at the hammam, we relaxed, chatted, had a massage and then we had an aperitivo at the cafeteria inside. They call it oriental happy hour and while eating you can also ask for an henna tattoo (it costs a little more, 25.00 euro).

It’s also possible to have lunch or dinner: try the Piatto del Sultano with a lot of mixed Middle East specialities.
