Like a new home in your Milan
Our history
In 1959 …
In 1959 Armando Varesi and Alessandra Maga took over BAR ITALIA in Piazzale Lodi, Milan and converted it into the success story of a well-stocked “Bar Tabaccheria”which became the core of the area. Originally it was located next to the ex-Cinema Italia from where it got its name and it was there for twenty years witnessing the many modifications and improvements that took place in the area and the city itself, it has always acted as a popular meeting place for a whole generation of faithful and regular customers.
The onset of the Eighties brought many significant and important changes and the area was upgraded: the cinema for example changed its name into Maestoso and BAR ITALIA moved to the other side of Piazzale Lodi where it gained more space and more light than ever before.
The bar has changed along with the needs and requests of our faithful and regular customers. Therefore we started by introducing cold dishes and since the year 2000 we have added our restaurant services too
BAR ITALIA MILANO comes back
This is the right place for you
In 2020 Carlo Varesi, son of the founders, started to personally take care of this historical bar by giving it a new life. So BAR ITALIA MILANO comes back to consolidate the very deep bond between this area and the city. BAR ITALIA MILANO has not only been able to pick up the family’s heritage but it has also gained the experience of another important Milanese landmark, BAR MADONNINA in Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, the authentic meeting point in the heart of Milan which has been owned by the Varesi family since the Eighties.
BAR ITALIA MILANO has been completely renovated thanks to new ideas and new people, becoming like a new home in your area, in your Milan.
For breakfast, lunch or an aperitif, this is the right place for you.
