Samaritana Ripa's Cafe

In BASE the food is served in line. After a careful sourcing and selection process, the raw ingredients – always seasonal as well as organic, biodynamic and local where possible – arrive at BASE. Small and medium-size Italian producers working with sustainable production methods are favoured here. “The lines” on offer are edible artefacts which engage all the senses. Each week sees the introduction of new lines, created according to seasonal availability and served up in a line, no cutlery required. Not just meat, but also vegetables, starters and desserts, with options suitable for everyone, from vegetarians to omnivores. The menu makes frequent nods to street food from Italy and all over the world, giving it a new spin to create an excellent dining experience at affordable prices.

A few steps away from Porta Genova, in the lively district of Navigli, Combo welcomes you from morning till late: for a breakfast or a brunch during the weekend, for a business lunch or a cocktail with friends. Our menu is inspired by the flavours of the world and it mixes international street food and Italian traditions: soups, salads, small bites to share, meat and fish cooked in the Josper. Every week we host musical, artistic or cultural events open to the public. The greenhouse and the peaceful inner courtyard are the perfect place to spend a few hours or just for a quick break.
