Restaurant VUN

The restaurant The Park becomes VUN. New concepts and important news from the chef that brings a new vision of Italian cuisine.

The new name of the restaurant VUN, which means ONE in Milanese dialect, has been chosen to express not only the close link with the city but also the ambition to stir feelings and emotions to excel in the culinary scene in Milan. It is located in the centre of Milan, overlooking Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, and a few steps from Alla Scala Opera House, Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga. The Restaurant VUN is filled with warm colours and precious materials, creating a calm ambience.

The philosophy of Chef Andrea Aprea surprises and excites everyone who tastes his food. Technique and innovation are its strengths, combined with respect for traditional Italian cooking and simplicity.The general concept for the menu at Restaurant VUN is the relationship between tradition and innovation, and dishes are developed to best express this balance.

The choice of ingredients is essential.  Chef Aprea uses local meat and oily fish, both of which are prepared with all sorts of vegetables, Italian and exotic, such as roots and tubers.  We also use certified organic products that are chosen with meticulous care.The restaurant’s suppliers are mostly Italian and all are subject to rigorous selection procedures.

The wine list at the Restaurant VUN can be enjoyed by connoisseurs for its variety; alongside the prestigious names of well-known producers are wines from small-time producers that are widely recognised at a local level for the excellence of their products. If you order a bottle of wine but do not finish it, our staff will be glad to re-cork it so that you can take it home with you.

Colour, light, shadow, design and scent create an intimate atmosphere for the 60 diners who can be seated in Restaurant VUN, which, as an integral part of Park Hyatt Milan, embodies understated elegance and contemporary luxury.

Paul Smith per VUN
Paul Smith, the famous English fashion designer, often stays at the Park Hyatt Milano. He is a good friend of the General Manager Mr. Claudio Ceccherelli, and has been for many years.

Two months ago, during a dinner enjoyed together at the hotel Restaurant VUN, they had the idea to create a serving plate, to be used for the delicious food served at the Restaurant VUN by Chef Andrea Aprea.

This idea became soon reality!

A limited number of 200 pieces have been created, manufactured by Richard Ginori, designed by Paul Smith for Park Hyatt Milan’s Restaurant. Culinary creations from Chef Andrea Aprea will interact with the colourful stripes of the design.

All the dishes are numbered and signed by the designer Paul Smith and decorations have been hand-painted by crafts people which ensures that each plate is a unique work of art.
