Restaurant with a view of the Milan skyline

The new Orizzonti restaurant combines Pedrali's contemporary design, views of the city, and signature cuisine in a multisensory experience

Orizzonti restaurant, located on the thirteenth floor of the Uptown Palace, offers a culinary proposal born from the meticulous research of Chef Luca Pedata, supported by his long-standing sous-chef Giuseppe Robustella. Guests are treated to a 360-degree view spanning the Torre Velasca, the Duomo, and even the distant Alps. The interior design is meticulously crafted to visually extend this experience, utilizing materials such as marble, wood, and metal, all developed around a warm, natural palette inspired by earthy tones.

Walls and ceilings feature shades of brown, grey, and beige, while the floors combine walnut parquet with strikingly veined marble. In the lounge area, Patrick Jouin‘s Ester armchairs are presented in various natural hues, and the tables are illuminated by Filicudi rechargeable lamps, designed by Andrea Pedrali. The main dining room is further enhanced by Sebastian Herkner‘s Stiel armchairs, while in the bar area, Ester collection stools by Patrick Jouin, in a bordeaux color, invite guests to enjoy a sunset aperitif.
