Acanto is the kind of place where you feel like you've stumbled into a secret garden, even though it's right in the heart of Piazza della Repubblica. Located inside the Principe di Savoia hotel, it's less about tourist traps and more about locals who know where to go when they want to be treated like royalty. The service is impeccable, the pasta with octopus is a standout, and the atmosphere is so refined you'll forget you're in a bustling city center.
Exceptional hotel dining with impeccable service
Acanto is a hidden gem within the Principe di Savoia hotel that consistently delivers an experience that rivals any Michelin-starred restaurant in Milan. The service is some of the best I've encountered in Italy - attentive without being intrusive, and the staff clearly takes pride in making every guest feel special. The pasta with octopus is absolutely perfect, and the veal dishes are equally impressive. The atmosphere is elegant and sophisticated, with beautiful garden views that make you forget you're in the middle of a busy city.
What sets Acanto apart is how it manages to feel both exclusive and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can bring important clients or celebrate a special occasion, knowing you'll be treated like royalty. The attention to detail is evident in everything from the table settings to the presentation of each dish. While it's definitely on the pricier side, the quality of food and service justifies every euro. This is where locals go when they want to impress, and it never disappoints.
