Langosteria Cafè Milano
The Langosteria group has unveiled a new concept, Langosteria Cafè Milano, near the Duomo cathedral. ‘The decision to open a Langosteria in the center was a tribute to Milan,’’ said chief executive officer Enrico Buonocore. The group also has two other restaurants in Milan – Langosteria 10, in Via Savona, and Langosteria Bistrot, in Via Bobbio. The kitchen team is led by executive chef Domenico Soranno and in keeping with the group’s other restaurants, the menu offers salmon tartare with passion fruit, seafood plateau, king crab, and pasta with clams and shellfish. Buonocore also signed a partnership with European butcher shop Damini & Affini to offer a taste of meat. Examples include roast veal with grape sauce or cordon bleu.
