Ho sempre pensato che mangiare non fosse sinonimo di alimentarsi Mangiare è un connubio complesso che coinvolge tutti e cinque i sensi e anche più. Ci sono infatti, sapori che richiamo alla memoria eventi, momenti e sensazioni ad essi legati. Ho trovato, con piacevole stupore, nel vostro “viaggio” tutto questo. Ho mangiato; assaporando, vedendo, sentendo, annusando e toccando COMPLIMENTI. È stata per me, e forse potrei dire per noi, un’esperienza unica, originale e ricercata nella scelta di tutti gli abbinamenti che hanno ben saputo affrontare un “viaggio” che aveva una trama e un intreccio chiaro ma non scontato, complesso ma non “pesante”. Grazie al prossimo “viaggio”.

Drink e piatti davvero speciali. Atmosfera molto tranquilla. Riccardo e Federico oltre ad essere bravissimi nel loro mestieri, riescono a renderti l’esperienza come se fossi fuori a bere e a mangiare con due amici. Esperienza sicuramente da ripetere e sicuramente consigliata!

Meraviglie una dopo l'altra. Ottima capacità di Federico Rottigni e tutto il team di Sensorium, avvolgerti con classe in un racconto mistico che accende i sensi (e molte volte il cervello), stupirti con ricerca gastronomica portata a terra grazie alla narrativa. Percorso ayauasca molto bilanciato, i pairing alcolici e non perfettamente in linea per scatenare emozioni ed empatia. L'esperienza che ripeterei subito è il piatto You, una profonda riflessione sulla carne. Il piatto che mangerei ogni giorno è Mareada, che meraviglia la loro ricerca sullo scobi della kombucha! Sensorium è unico, merita assolutamente una visita ad ogni esperienza (ogni ~6 mesi)

Quella al dessert bar é un'esperienza che coinvolge tutti i sensi. Difficile trovare paragoni...il lavoro e la ricerca si vedono dietro ogni singolo piatto. La serata è immersa in un percorso di gusto, odori, suoni e bellezza. Da sottolineare l'abbinamento con i vini alchemici della cantina di Giorgio Mercandelli, più che mai integrati nel menu, elevando l'esperienza di ogni piatto. Consigliato a chiunque voglia provare qualcosa di veramente unico e diverso Il prezzo è tutto sommato giustificato dal lavoro che c'è dietro ogni momento Prenotazione obbligatoria

Io non sono un amante dei dolci.... fino a quando ho scoperto DESSERT BAR di Federico Rottigni. Fenomenale. Ho avuto come la sensazione di non aver mai mangiato un dolce prima di quest'esperienza. Si perché quella che si fa in questo posto é un esperienza che ti emoziona e ti fa viaggiare ad ogni assaggio.. da uno scenario incantato ad un ambiente mistico della foresta norvegese, ti fa divertire e di fa sublimare. Tutto molto curato compresi i cocktail che accompagnano i dolci. Federico ti prepara i dolci davanti i tuoi occhi e te li racconta con la passione vivida di chi ama il proprio mestiere. Da Provare !!!!

Un’esperienza incredibile. Non si tratta di una classica cena degustazione ma di una vera e propria rappresentazione dove il cibo diventa strumento per far calare l’ospite nell’ambientazione. Lasciatevi guidare totalmente dallo chef e il suo team! Sarete in ottime mani! Non vediamo l’ora di provare la prossima ambientazione!

Sono stata all’esperienza Reborn del Dessert Bar. All’inizio ero scettica perché non sono molto amante dei dolci. Ma mi sono subito ricreduta, si tratta di un’esperienza unica in cui il cibo è solo uno degli elementi. L’attenzione ai dettagli e alla cura degli ospiti è altissima. Insomma assolutamente consigliato.

Lo scorso anno abbiamo provato per la prima volta SENSORIUM con il menù sensoriale AYAHUASCA, siamo rimasti così colpiti che alla prima occasione siamo voluti ritornare a provare la nuova proposta per il 2025: ARTIFICIAL STUPIDITY. Naturalmente dopo la scorsa esperienza le aspettative erano altissime e per lo Chef Federico Rottigni stupirci ancora una volta sarebbe stata una sfida ardita, ma posso confermare che ci è riuscito brillantemente. Lo ha fatto coinvolgendoci in un viaggio futuristico, una proiezione spazio temporale oltre la tridimensionalità, ci ha condotti in una dimensione orwelliana dove viene messa in discussione la stessa percezione umana, nulla è più quello che sembra, ma ciononostante noi restiamo quello che siamo e continueremo ad amare ciò che abbiamo sempre amato. Nel suo percorso, dopo mirabolanti peripezie, lo Chef ci propone un confortevole lieto fine, ma ci pone anche una domanda: saremo in grado di riconoscere ciò che amiamo realmente ? Saremo in grado di difenderlo e preservarlo? Questo percorso sensoriale è sostanzialmente un'opera d'arte interattiva e di assoluta avanguardia, un monito agli avventori riguardo alla direzione in cui l'umanità si è avviata, affinché la saggezza del cuore umano possa sempre mantenere il controllo della società. Non mi soffermo consapevolmente nel descrivere le portate perchè non sarebbe significativo dell'esperienza ed anticipare qualche informazione sarebbe un limite all'esperienza ed una mancanza di rispetto verso il lavoro di ricerca e sviluppo profuso dallo Chef ed il suo staff per presentarci quest'opera. Detto ciò, è piuttosto evidente che non ci si può accingere a tutto questo come se ci si approcciasse ad una cena in un ristorante anche che fosse di altissimo livello, dove il piatto rimane il protagonista vettore di emozioni, ma qui è oltre tutto questo; da Sensorium il focus è spostato su noi stessi, sulla nostra essenza, la portata è solo uno degli elementi condottieri verso il proprio intimo viaggio sensoriale, e comunque in tutto questo si potrà avere il privilegio di assaggiare prodotti straordinari, di cui alcuni così particolari da possedere delle caratteristiche metafisiche, prodotti per lo più introvabili sul mercato, solo per i quali vale il prezzo del biglietto.

This dining experience was out of this world. From the moment you enter the journey begins. Chef Federico Rottigni and team made and presented some truly amazing and delicious dishes.

Barbara Szczerba

Do not expect anything. Just go and enjoy. You can take it seriously or super lightly and with fun. Up to you and your party. The staff will accommodate you and will not enforce any opinions. It's up to you to decide what's going on. I was impressed with hight quality ingredients. I also appreciate the creativity and the element of surprise. My party left absolutely satisfied. I encourage you to have a chat with the staff at the end. It's the people behind the experience that make it last forever. Hope you'll give it a go! We will be back one day :)

Photos do not do this place justice! Absolutely loved this experience. Go in with an open mind and a willing to try anything and you'll love it. There we were 3 and all of us were eating and tasting things we normally wouldn't. Can't speak high enough of the team either. Thank you for such an unique experience.

The experience was fantastic. Everything from the staff, the food, the theatrics. The ox was incredible. We could not recommend it more, an absolutely awesome experience. Nash was great, answered all our questions with great detail and knowledge.

Jack Hellawell

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! I highly highly highly recommend anyone to go here. From start to finish it was amazing. I can not speak highly enough from the moment you walk in to walk out they treat you with a real personalised experience. The food, well, is different and leaves your tastebuds thinking what was that in some courses but when they tell you it is a dining experience it really is that! It is so much more than the food. Even at the end, the 4 guys stand and speak to you and make you feel welcome asking about you and why you’re here, about your life everything. It just makes you realise the service you are missing at other places when you go out to eat. I could continue writing forever about this place because it’s well and truly probably the best restaurant I have ever been to in my life and I’ve been to some good ones! Please book in and visit if you want something new!!

Simply wow. This is not a typical food experience, this is an unconventional, sensorial experience stimulating the five senses. I don’t want to spoil too much, but during this 9 course menu journey we had the chance to eat great food in crazy shapes and ways, smell new and weird things (like the smell of the space), see fluo colors and listen to perfectly matching music. In fact, I had to look for some of the music being played during the dinner, as it was so good, researched and perfect. This is something that I particularly appreciated, as I am very picky with music as it was quite unique to find such a good curation of music at a restaurant. And last but not least, the personnel is extremely kind and I really believe that Federico Rottigni is a genius. We can’t wait to be back in six months, to experience the new menu!

Sandra

An incredible not only gastronomy experience that if will help you open your mind even more and enjoy this evening with all your senses. Looking forward to the new experience in November 2023

yana basenko

A truly exceptional experience, not just a dinner. Each dish takes you on a completely different journey that got me tearing up at the end of the night. Wonderful execution, beautiful storytelling and incredibly creative approach to food.10/10

Nicholas Taylor

Absolutely the best food experience I have had and will probably ever have in my lifetime. Excellent from start to finish! Would highly recommend anyone staying/visiting Milan to make a point of booking a seat here!

Carolina Hernandez

High dining immersive experience that is unmatched. Every detail, from the ingredients, lighting, music, and even smell, does not go unnoticed. The chef and staff work very hard to give you seamless service. Every course is emotional and intimate. This experience was priceless. We cannot wait to return for the following menu.

The Ultimate Guide for Sensorium: This is NOT only a Desert Bar. It's sweet and salty and remember this is more an experience rather than going for Dinner. The venue is open from 9pm for 15mins before they close the door. You cant come late! So I suggest you grab a little bite&drink at 7:30pm around that area and then have a 5 min walking distance to there. Why? Because at night taxis are mostly super busy and Uber will be very expensive and also late. You dont want to come late or be stressed and losing 100€ for a no-show penalty. This is currently a hidden gem in Milan. Yes 5* are absolutely correct. This was one of the best experience I've ever had. The music and composition the people, everything literally gave me goosebumps. Thank you! Please give this review a thumbs up if you found this helpful. Enjoy the show!!

AMAZING!!! Enjoyed every bit of it. They had a technical issue but still accommodated us. A very beautiful experience that’ll stay with me for a long time. Definitely check it out

Dessert Bar Milano has beautifully woven gastronomy into a theatrical experience whereby you are the main character. Immense thought has been given to each dish: the taste, the presentation, the idea they want to convey from it, the wine/kombucha pairing, the music/sounds that enhance the experience. It is no wonder that a large number of diners make this their last meal of Milan/their trip, because there is no better way to wrap up a trip. If you made a reservation, good for you, cause this is truly an unforgettable meal; a spectacular experience for all your senses.

As a person who travels for food and is a fellow pastry chef, I couldn't miss out on an opportunity to try Federico Rottigni's awesome concept of "Insomnia" when I was in town for my partner's graduation. We booked for a Thursday evening not knowing that they were closed (but we all blame technology for that mistake) they called us asking if we could reschedule and we couldn't, as it was our last night in town. They didn't cancel our reservation as I was expecting them to do, they opened just for us and performed everything as normal but on a far more intimate and personal level. I can not even explain how wonderful the team is, how amazing the drinks and desserts were, and how unique the experience was! It was so exciting, entertaining, and all around the most interesting thing I have experienced ever. If you get the chance to book a seat (try not to do it when they are closed for their sanity) I think you should! No pictures were allowed as the whole experience was designed to be a surprise for your enjoyment. Trust me it was worth it! And I guess you were allowed one photo but not of the fantastic treats you ate and drank, but of yourselves after the whole experience! Thank you all for the awesome early birthday gift! Was an absolute pleasure to meet you all!

A magical evening of the 5 senses! Chef Federico Rottigni just opened his first restaurant in Milan. Dessert Bar Milano, just south of the Duomo, and will surprise all your senses from; a) taste with sophisticated flavors and drink pairing, b) beautiful experiential plating, c) smell from delicate pine-scented fog to rose petals d) soft romantic décor, mood lighting and music with each dish, and e) touch of not only your tongue but, your emotions as well. It’s a destination in Milan for a romantic sensual evening, but also a global destination for fine dining and dessert!

This time we´ve wanted to do something different during our trip to Milan. After some research we found Dessert bar Milano. We had a reservation for 10am for 4 people after dinner. It was a perfect end to our beautiful day. The drinks and the dessert were combined perfectly. And you would finish the experience not feeling heavy at all despite having dinner before. Lots of thanks to Federico who hosted us. We will definitely be back next time in Milan.

Cannot speak highly enough of the team and the experience for a couple plus 19yo and all 3 of us enjoyed it. Not for the closed minded or those not with a willing to try mindset. Unfortunately I w…

Cena in coppia, bella esperienza che consiglio di provare una volta… il servizio, l’ambiente intimo e lo “spettacolo” creato con luci e musica è davvero curato, coinvolgente e particolare! A parer mio l’unica pecca è il cibo… non è a pari livello del servizio e dell’esperienza scenografica e cosa non da poco, dopo un menu con diverse portate (mi pare una decina) una volta fuori avevamo ancora fame e ci siamo presi un panino. Comunque l’idea è bella e per una cena diversa dalle solite vale la pena andarci. Bravi

Michelle

This is a theatrical level dining experience. Be prepared to use your senses to eat and be immersed into another world. It was indeed refreshing and I truly enjoyed the experience. Food was good but it wasn’t fantastic. But this dining is more about the experience and the atmosphere. Sound and visual effects are really on point for this. Deserves a try if you enjoy such experiences.

The concept sounds great but the execution is not worth the price point. This is a memory but sadly for the wrong reasons. The chef/owner clearly had a vision, but having attended this with some …

Nice experience but that's all. The lady who served us was really very kind and clarifying. The food was good, not something special, you can experience better tastes along the Milan.

Daniel Frees

The staff is very attentive (though not the head chef), and this was indeed one of the most unique places I have ever dined. Ultimately, however, I realized that this type of experimental dining is not for me. The ingredients were of high quality and preparation was executed well, but there is a reason why classic food preparation is classic. Having dined at an equivalently ~250 euro dinner the night before I couldn’t help but compare the two experiences and came away feeling that that kind of money is much better spent on simply delicious food from a Michelin tasting menu that is focused wholeheartedly on flavor. If the food didn’t leave a bad taste in my mouth, the alcoholic pairing option did — if I remember correctly the 6-drink pairing was around 68 euros. For that price you get 6 tastes of drinks— the pours are hardly more than the pours awaiting your nod of approval at other restaurants. I don’t need to get drunk to enjoy a meal; rather my complaint is that the pairing option is priced absurdly inappropriately relative to the quantity you receive. Other issues: I also thought it was inappropriate that they ask for a tip at the end, nowhere else have I seen that in Italy, let alone at a high-end establishment. The AI (Artificial Stupidity) theme didn't work for me. I really tried my best to buy into the theme, but given that I work in AI, I couldn't help but find the storyline cheesy. Overall, I struggled to come up with a rating for this one — on the one hand, this is an experience unlike any other I have had at a restaurant. It is like the exploratorium meets a tasting menu. On the other hand, I couldn’t help but be disappointed by the meal when the kind of money you spend here can afford absolutely stellar meals at a number of other places across Milan.

Siamo stati qui qualche giorno fa e purtroppo è stata una grande delusione. L’esperienza si svolge seduti a un bancone su uno sgabello. Ci hanno servito diverse portate, ma 2/3 erano semplicemente una fetta di pane con qualcosa sopra/di lato. Abbiamo aggiunto l’abbinamento con i drink (€75 a persona), ma nonostante prima di arrivare avessimo bevuto mezza bottiglia di prosecco in due, alla fine eravamo sobri, quindi non so bene la loro gradazione alcolica. L’ultima portata? Pane e prosciutto. Pensavamo fosse uno scherzo, ma no, la cena era finita lì. Nessun piatto memorabile, solo tanta delusione. Non è una questione di prezzo, ma di valore per ciò che abbiamo ricevuto. Non lo consiglierei. 1 stella. Avevo alte aspettative viste le recensioni, ma siamo usciti con la fame dopo aver speso circa €500 in due.

This is a highschool chemistry class masquerading as a restaurant. Nothing interesting or unique. The place itself is poorly decorated, looks cheap. There is no main course. 2 courses are bread. I had a great time with my beautiful date but please dont waste your time . I wish someone had warned me. I don't understand the rest of these positive reviews. NOTE: In response to their reply. I dined there in February. Their Ayahuasca service. They try to claim my review is fake. I am real, review is real. It's more likely that all of their positive reviews are fake...don't be fooled
