In this column we report the month's new openings of restaurants and wine bars throughout Italy. These are not reviews, but previews of newly opened or opening establishments. An observatory on the ferment of the sector, including gastronomic novelties and new drinking addresses.
Here are the new openings for March.
Despite the difficulties the restaurant industry continues to face, especially on the staffing front, the Italian scene remains vibrant, with numerous new openings ranging from gourmet restaurants to trattorias, from pizzerias to ethnic eateries.
The price range is also wide: ranging from more accessible proposals related to traditional cuisine and pizza to high-end restaurants, often placed in luxury hotel settings. The success of a restaurant depends on many factors: from the experience of the person who leads it to the quality of the cuisine and the professionalism of the chef; from the location to the wine list (an element, the latter, always central for us). Only the public will tell who has hit the mark.
To you the pleasure of discovering new addresses: article is updated regularly with openings we learn about.

Milan, in the heart of Brera is born Osteria Formentini
In the heart of Brera, in Milan, comes Osteria Formentini.The new Borgia Group restaurant that interprets the most authentic soul of the Italian osteria in a contemporary key. Not a “trendy” restaurant, but a place to live. A place rooted in the neighborhood. Aimed at those who live Brera every day and at those who discover it while strolling, eager for an authentic experience: curated cuisine, relaxed times, conviviality around the same table. A tribute to an essential Italy of taste, free from artifice and formalism, with the signature of chef Federico Della Vecchia.
Borgia Group ‘s idea is that of informal dining. With the use of the highest quality products in the kitchen, in central city locations and with a relaxing décor that puts customers at ease. A format that the Borgia have adopted since their first Bioesserì, opened in Milan in 2012, then replicated in various variations in their other locations.
