Quality Ingredients Restaurant Milan
Al Mercante is a quality ingredients restaurant in Milan where every dish starts from authentic, traced raw materials. Our chefs choose each ingredient daily. Located in Via Cesare Cantù 7, just steps from the Duomo, this historic Bottega Storica di Milano since 2010 brings traditional Milanese cuisine built on trusted suppliers.
Quality ingredients chosen fresh every morning
Our philosophy is simple. Each morning the kitchen team personally selects the best produce available on the market. As a result, the menu changes every day to follow the rhythm of the seasons. At lunch you will find a daily menu ideal for a business lunch in Milan — traditional dishes prepared to order in an elegant setting. In the evening, moreover, the offer expands with Italian classics paired with a curated selection of quality Italian wines.
What makes this a quality ingredients restaurant in Milan
Every ingredient entering our kitchen is hand-picked — no shortcuts and no industrial compromise. Therefore, every plate reflects a clear commitment to excellence. Discover our traditional Italian cuisine menu to see how these ingredients become signature dishes.
Our extra-virgin olive oil is an exclusive blend of Leccino, Moraiolo and Frantoiano olives. The owner’s family farm grows them on Lake Trasimeno and cold-presses them on site. In addition, bread, handmade fresh pasta, breadsticks and focaccia come from certified organic flours meeting AIAB standards. Our chefs select meats from pasture-raised farms: Italian-bred Black Angus and dry-aged red pied beef up to 70 days. They never source from intensive farming operations. Furthermore, the team picks fish daily from the Milan market, while fruit and vegetables follow strict seasonal rotation.
