"A stroll along the Naviglio Grande canal in Milan is a must, and 28 Posti is our favorite restaurant in the area. It’s a welcomed escape in the evening when the young bar crowd starts to multiply—step inside to be reminded that you’re in the European city of design. Earthtones, wood, pendant lamps, and micro-perforated sheet metal provide a Milanese casual glamor that matches the clientele. Pass over the a la carte menu for the surprise tastings, which are available in a range of three to ten plates. The owners founded one of Milan’s natural wine festivals, and the list will satisfy the most passionate skin-contact fans. For vegetarians, they’re happy to do a vegetable tasting with advanced notice, which is spectacular in both technique and imagination." - elizabeth de filippo jones
