I thought it would be useful to share some of the places best to wine and dine while at Salone...or if you happen to go to Milan for any reason. Wine? Four Seasons in the shopping area is wonderful...civil if you will. If you want scene-and-crazy - then Hotel Diana Majestic bar on Viale Piave 42. Long my home away from home...it got a bit scene-and-crazy (and expensive), but serves food with their drinks - so you can't go wrong. Of cousre, anything 10 Corso Como (Sozzani). And, the Hotel Bulgari - nothing like Presecos out on the lawn. Some of my favs - and recommendations by others are:
Bagutta - on Via Bagutta....unchanged f-o-r-e-v-e-r, but always good food and not too expensive. It can get a bit nutty during Salone - but always fun.
Rigolo on Via Solferino 11 in the Brera section - this one best to make reservations, or they can be less than friendly. Great for lunch.
Le Colline Pistoiesi 39-02-86451-085 - a simply wonderful restaurant owned by the brother-in-law of my dear, departed friend Ivan Luini. I love this place for its food, ambience and memories.
Osteria de Binari 39-02-89406753 - a recommendation by Ivan's widow, Micaela, so I'm sure it is wonderful.
Of course, there are others and would love suggestions and recommendations from any and all of you. I'm really looking forward to my diet of pasta every single day for a week without guilt!

For lunch Trattoria da Pino (Via Cerva, 14, street parallel to Via Durini) is a must. Prego prego, keep it quiet so it continues to be a "locals only" place ...
