85 Bistrot: Modern Italian Cuisine in Sesto San Giovanni, Milan

A Michelin-Recommended Bistrot in Sesto San Giovanni

Just outside Milan, in Sesto San Giovanni, 85 Bistrot has earned a place on the prestigious Michelin Guide 2025. The restaurant describes itself as refined, informal, and convivial—a promise it delivers from lunch through aperitivo and dinner. It’s a space where accomplished cooking and a relaxed atmosphere coexist.

Tradition and the Chef’s Touch

The kitchen draws deeply on Italian and Lombardian traditions, then lets the chef’s creativity reimagine the classics. The menu offers “i Sapori della tradizione e le rivisitazioni dello Chef”—traditional flavors and chef’s reinterpretations. This extends to a house-made bread for their hamburgers and a tempting selection of desserts and golosità (sweet treats). The wine cellar is thoughtfully curated to match.

Atmosphere Across Seasons

The location features a dedicated dehor (outdoor terrace), described as ideal for “il Dolce Autunno, la Fresca Primavera e tutte le volte che vuoi”—sweet autumn, fresh spring, and whenever you wish. Inside, air conditioning ensures comfort year-round. The setting is designed for both relaxed lunches and lively dinners, always with a convivial, not stuffy, feel. Wheelchair access is provided, and outdoor seating lets you enjoy the piazza setting.
