On Sunday, October 12, the official opening of .IL Retrobottega took place — a new space born as a natural extension of the identity and spirit of .IL Liberty, a restaurant that is already a point of reference for those who love authentic, convivial cuisine deeply rooted in tradition.
The opening was celebrated with an informal, well-attended aperitivo, conceived as a moment of connection and sharing among friends, collaborators, and long-standing guests of the restaurant. A special occasion to toast together, share the story behind the project, and experience in advance the atmosphere of .IL Retrobottega — a space designed to welcome, surprise, and make everyone feel at home.
The evening unfolded in a fluid and natural way, moving between the urban courtyard, the interior of the venue, and the beating heart of the event: the gastronomic counter, around which a warm sense of conviviality took shape. Here, some emblematic dishes of Milanese cuisine were prepared and served, expressing a tradition that .IL Liberty continues to celebrate with respect and passion.
The undisputed stars of the aperitivo were the mondeghili, served in their most authentic version — a tribute to home cooking, to the flavors of the past, and to the area’s gastronomic culture. Amid raised glasses, conversations, and aromas that evoked the truest Milan, the inauguration represented not only the opening of a new space, but also the confirmation of a vision: a style of hospitality built on relationships, quality, and memory.
With .IL Retrobottega, the journey of .IL Liberty is enriched by a new chapter, shaped by continuity, passion, and the pleasure of being together.
