Start times and dress codes
Aperitivo between 6:30 and 8:30pm is a genuine institution here and often the whole evening — a drink comes with enough food to replace dinner. Dinner proper starts around 8:30. Milan is the best-dressed city in Italy and entirely aware of it.
Getting to the venue
The metro is efficient and runs until around midnight. The centre is compact and walkable, and the Navigli canal district is a short tram ride and worth the trip for an evening.
When the Milan calendar fills
Fashion weeks in February and September, and the Salone del Mobile in April, fill the city completely — book well ahead for those. August is quiet, hot, and much of the city is closed for the holidays.

Taking a date to an occasion in Milan
What is aperitivo and is it enough for a booking?
A drink in the early evening that comes with a substantial spread of food — and yes, it is often the entire evening here. It makes a very natural first meeting: public, unhurried, and no commitment to a long dinner.
Does fashion week affect availability?
Significantly. During the February and September weeks the city is full and lead times stretch. Outside those, a few days' notice is usually enough.
