Earning a Michelin star for its creative cuisine, Magorabin is known for successfully executing inventive plates incorporating new flavors and ingredient combinations. While the four tasting menus—land, water, air and fire—are designed to bring together the perfect combination of dishes, diners can also choose from the a la carte options, which are equally as artfully presented. Wine pairing also includes a cocktail, which is served alongside the dessert.

Within its centuries-old setting on Piazza Carignano, the Michelin starred Ristorante Del Cambio combines a respect for its heritage, the art of Italian and European cooking and the quality of ingredients used to create its menu of contemporary plates; try veal chop Milanese-style, Piedmont-style agnolotti, or red mullet with tomato, aubergine, olives and capers. The most iconic hall to dine in here is the ancient Sala Risorgimento where frescoes, antiques and chandeliers tell the story of its past, but guests can opt between four dining rooms or book the chef’s table. The award-winning 17th-century wine cellar is then said to contain more than 19,000 bottles.
