Since 1970, the elegance of Brera at your table
Nabucco was founded in 1970, in the heart of Brera. From the very beginning, the restaurant’s philosophy has been simple and clear: to offer a gastronomic experience dedicated to authentic Italian cuisine in a setting that tells the story of Milan by combining style and discretion.
Over the years, the restaurant has established itself in this historic district as a landmark for those seeking quality cuisine, the right atmosphere, and a refined and attentive welcome. Every guest and their experience at Nabucco is always at the center.
Nabucco’s roots date back to the seventies, when the venue was known as “Il Soldato d’Italia.” The turning point came when a tenor associated with the Teatro alla Scala became a partner, choosing the name Nabucco as a tribute to Giuseppe Verdi’s opera and the deep connection with the world of opera.
From that moment on, the restaurant became an iconic address for artists, musicians, and enthusiasts who, after the show, looked for an authentic place to gather.
Over time, Nabucco has consolidated its position as a historic presence in Brera, intertwining gastronomy and culture in one of Milan’s most fascinating neighborhoods.
This continuity between past and present can also be felt in the kitchen. At the helm is Chef Enzo Nappi, who brings recognizable Italian cuisine back to the table—balanced and generous. Great Milanese and national classics coexist with personal touches inspired by the Mediterranean, in a constant dialogue between tradition and modernity.
