About us
Our story
It all began with Slow Food. In February 2014, on Slow Food’s recommendation, Frigoriferi Milanesi invited us to open the second location of the Trattoria del Nuovo Macello inside their premises, opening a new chapter: La Cucina dei Frigoriferi Milanesi.
The invitation was a tempting one: Frigoriferi is a place where culture, art and history are in constant, engaging dialogue. Bringing our culinary art into that conversation was an opportunity we could not miss.
So in April 2014 one of the two chefs, Marco Tronconi, moved to Via Piranesi, bringing the solid tradition of the Nuovo Macello with a cosmopolitan touch, in tune with the dynamic world of Frigoriferi.
The restaurant space, elegant and minimalist, hosts a modern and dynamic menu rooted in tradition. For its excellent value for money, La Cucina dei Frigoriferi Milanesi is a Bib Gourmand: one of the restaurants recommended by the Michelin Guide where the bill does not exceed 35 euros for three courses.
At lunch, the 15-euro formula offers a set plate, first and main course served together, creating fascinating and sometimes unusual flavour pairings.
Fish often steals the show from meat, while the quality of the ingredients, zero-mile sourcing and strict seasonality are the cornerstones of the Nuovo Macello philosophy. For those who already know us, this is an invitation to discover our “other” soul; for those who do not know us yet, we invite you to discover both.
