Carmen from Milan

I am a proud Canadian Montrealer and I moved to Milan way back in 2009. Officially, I moved for school but I was just looking for an excuse to travel the world and shoot pictures. I am addicted to the ocean, I never skip breakfast and I rarely leave the house without a camera. If you are in the market for some new wall art check out my website for some fine art prints! In...

Mitú Restaurant Milan

The Spirit of Colombia

"Mitú is a place I would enthusiastically recommend to a friend seeking a charming atmosphere, great cuisine and attentive and knowledgeable staff."

Fun fact: One of my best friends is Colombian, but I had never tried Colombian food until very recently. One evening, I was searching for a new restaurant to try in Milan. I didn't have a specific cuisine in mind, but I was eager to experience something "different" (whatever that even means). While Milan is renowned for its plethora of pizzerias, incredible sushi spots, and Chinese restaurants, I had never stumbled upon a Colombian restaurant until I found Mitú.

When you enter Mitú, you are instantly captivated by its typical Colombian decor that was meticulously crafted by a Colombian architect with a keen eye for detail. The ambiance is warm, casual yet distinctive, exuding an air of authenticity. The menu is curated by one of Colombia's most esteemed chefs, Alvaro Clavijo, and is inspired by Colombian cuisine.

Disclaimer, if you are native Colombian, please note that the menu is tailored to suit European, predominantly Italian, palates. Each dish is a delightful fusion of flavors with a variety of ingredients that I had never seen or tasted previously. I loved the Chata alla cartagena dish and the local Colombian cheese entrada. Mitú is the type of establishment I would enthusiastically recommend to a friend seeking a charming atmosphere, great cuisine and attentive and knowledgeable staff. It was a great experience, and I will certainly come back!

Bar Luini

A small and delicious bar in Duomo

The panzerotto is a sort of little fried rolled pizza, so the shape is like that of a sandwich completely closed that has a filling inside. Tasty!
