Why Claudio Amendola’s New Restaurant Will Surprise You

You've got to check out Claudio Amendola's new restaurant in Milan! It's a delightful twist on Roman cuisine that you won't want to miss.

A Taste of Rome in Milan

When I first heard about Claudio Amendola’s new restaurant, I couldn’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation. Set in a charming urban farmstead at Porta Venezia, this spot promises to be more than just another eatery—it’s an experience waiting to unfold. Imagine walking into a rustic yet elegant space where the air is filled with the aroma of authentic Roman dishes crafted by chef Adriano Baldassarre. My mouth waters just thinking about it!

The venue will house a vibrant downstairs bar called Frezza, tailored for those who appreciate a lively drink scene. And upstairs? That’s where the culinary magic truly happens. With signature dishes like fettuccine bathed in butter, parmesan, lemon, and marjoram, it’s hard not to get excited about what’s in store. The idea of combining traditional flavors with modern flair is something that really gets my heart racing.

The Culinary Journey: Li Somari Meets Milan

Now, let’s talk about Li Somari—this isn’t just any restaurant; it comes packed with stories and flavors from Tivoli to Milan. As Andrea La Caita shared his vision with me, I could sense his passion and commitment to showcasing true Italian cuisine. “Picture an elegant trattoria,” he said, “where every dish pays homage to its roots.”

This isn’t just food; it’s a narrative crafted by years of tradition and innovation. The proposed menu features delightful surprises like a milanese-style supplì that adds a local touch—this kind of creativity makes dining an adventure! Just imagining how all these elements come together fills me with joy.

A Trendy Twist on Classic Fare

Amendola’s previous ventures, including the Osteria del Parco and the original Frezza in Rome, have set high expectations for this new location. What intrigues me most is how he plans to bring a “modaiola” twist—a fashionable update—to classic Roman cooking here in Milan.

While I love traditional dishes steeped in history, there’s something exhilarating about giving them a contemporary spin. As they put the final touches on this project set to open mid-March, the excitement around this venture continues to build. Will they succeed in making it both chic and homey?

What Makes This Place Stand Out?

It’s not just about the food or drinks; it’s the entire atmosphere that makes a restaurant special. Based on what I’ve gathered from insiders involved in this project, the ambiance will reflect warmth and elegance—ideal for enjoying quality time over delicious meals with friends or family.

• Cozy corners for intimate dinners
• A bustling bar scene
• Stunning decor that pays homage to both old-world charm and modern style

It seems Claudio Amendola understands that dining is as much about connection as it is about cuisine.
