Appiano Gentile, Italy
Il Portico
Il Portico occupies Appiano Gentile's central piazza with a format that splits neatly between single-course lunches and modular evening tasting menus built around seasonal, locally sourced produce. Chef Paolo Lopriore has returned to his native Lombardy to run a room that holds a Michelin Plate and consecutive Opinionated About Dining Casual Europe rankings, including a high of #32 in 2024, at a mid-range price point that sits well below its regional fine-dining peers.
