What They Say

Vivi milano

On Via Corsico, just a few step from the Navigli, the outdoor tables of Ugo welcome guests to a space opened by Valeria Armanni and Francesco Tancredi. Inside, it feels like a Parisian café from a century ago — an elegant yet warmly inviting salon.

FLAWLESS

Ugo presents itself as a refined destination for Milan’s cocktail lovers, just steps from the Navigli — a place to discover premium spirits mixed with the refined savoir-faire of the finest mixology. The perfect spot to sip and unwind as the sunlight softens, awaiting the first toasts of the aperitivo hour.

We love this place!
This was the best aperitivo I had in a month in Italy.
We randomly walked by it as we were exploring the canals and the packed patio told us it was a must try!

Step back in time at Ugo, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar nestled deep in the heart of Navigli. Faux taxidermy deer heads, antique tennis racquets and oil paintings on floral wallpaper are illuminated by the beautiful standing lamps and candelabras dotted throughout the interior. The cocktails are as delicious as they are imaginative, with creations like the Trique (made from vodka, white vermouth, celery, green apple, lime and liquorice) attracting large crowds every night.

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. UGO Cocktail Bar in the Navigli area of Milan offers a vibrant atmosphere and a delightful cocktail menu. The highlight is definitely the Banana Olong Tea—an expertly crafted drink that beautifully balances the richness of banana with the floral notes of oolong tea. It's refreshing and perfect for autumn evenings, making it a must-try for anyone visiting. The bar's ambiance complements the drink perfectly, with a lively crowd and attentive staff. A great spot to unwind and enjoy unique flavors!

Staff were excellent despite being super busy. The drink were exceptional and we loved the clever menu. Also appreciated the apertivo spread was a bit creative but not too heavy. Well done UGO!

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. personale gentilissimo, il primo ragazzo che ci ha servito mi ha chiesto se avessimo allergie o intolleranze da segnalare (cosa più unica che rara) e si ricordava dosi precise della ricetta della focaccia. Drink ottimi, servizio eccellente e disponibile, abbiamo assaggiato anche due piattini da condividere (crocchette di melanzane e cotolette di cavolfiore) che consiglio assolutamente! torneremo sicuro 🤍
