Our Themed Menus

October 2026 Menu

Welcome to La Cuoca e il Poeta, a unique themed restaurant in Milan. Our tasting menu changes every single day to follow a different theme, while our dishes evolve each month to respect the natural seasonality of the ingredients.
Everything is handmade with love: from our fresh focaccia and bread to our pasta and desserts.

To make your experience even better:
• No cover fee (coperto) is ever charged.
