The Olympic Games have had a significant impact on the Corvetto neighborhood in Milan, not just around the square that bears its name but extending from Piazzale Lodi to Rogoredo. Historically a working-class area, Corvetto has faced challenges in recent times but is also thriving with life and vitality. Situated between the Olympic Village at Scalo Porta Romana and the Santagiulia Hockey Arena, the neighborhood is rediscovering its rich gastronomic traditions, popular among both locals and visitors alike following the Games.

Among the highlights is the 'Chiosco Da Giacomo' located at Piazzale Corvetto, where a gentleman from Vercelli offers a remarkable selection of over 200 craft beers paired with traditional Florentine dishes such as pappa al pomodoro, ribollita, and lampredotto all'uccelletto. This charming spot is particularly lively during the warmer months as local residents flock to enjoy the food and drinks in the outdoor setting. It serves as a testament to the area’s evolving identity, blending heritage with contemporary culinary trends.

Another notable venue is the Doca bakery, opened recently by a Brazilian immigrant from Porto Alegre, which signifies the diverse cultural landscape of Corvetto. The bakery contributes to a burgeoning food scene that has captured the attention of both the local community and newcomers to Milan. As the city embraces its Olympic legacy, the food culture in Corvetto stands out, showcasing authentic and less commercialized gastronomic offerings that are reflective of the neighborhood’s artistic and vibrant essence.
