A dining room shaped around the bar

The dining room with bar counter at SO Milano brings together food, cocktails and conversation. Guests come for dinner, an after-work aperitif or a relaxed catch-up with friends. The bar is part of the room, making it easy to watch drinks being prepared and ask the bartender for recommendations.

Your visit can unfold at your own pace. Start with an aperitif, explore the food menu and stay for a cocktail after dinner. The bar adds another dimension to the restaurant experience, whether you are visiting as a couple, with friends or on your own.

SO Milano is located at Viale Francesco Crispi 6, Milan. This dining room is open to restaurant guests, with table reservations made within the shared space. Availability and the restaurant’s programme can be checked for your preferred date.

Interior and bar area

The bar counter is both a working part of the restaurant and a focus of the room. Guests can see how cocktails are prepared, ask about ingredients and discuss flavours, strength or alcohol-free alternatives with the bartender.

Tables and the bar area share the same setting, creating a natural connection between dining and drinks. It is a space for an evening meal, an aperitif with colleagues or a longer catch-up over food and cocktails.

If you would prefer a table close to the bar or elsewhere in the room, mention this when booking. The team will check whether your preference can be accommodated.

Seating and table availability

The room welcomes individual diners, couples and groups. Table availability depends on the date, time and number of guests. Larger groups should contact the restaurant in advance to check whether they can be seated together.

Your table and any requests that can be accommodated will be confirmed by the team. The room remains open to other restaurant guests during your visit.
