Check dates and seats
You'll see live dates, seating and the price in your currency, and book directly with GetYourGuide.
Maison Milano opens to the public only Friday to Sunday, and this ticket is for the Friday or Saturday dinner show — the rest of the week the room is closed for private hire. With one seating a night in one room, a sold-out Saturday has no second sitting to fall back on.
Why book this evening
A dinner and a variety bill in one ticket
Maison Milano's own description is a "cena spettacolo" — dinner and show as one event rather than a meal with entertainment added on. The three-course dinner is served through the performance, not before or after it, so the kitchen and the stage run on the same clock all evening.
A full variety bill, not one headline act
The programme mixes singers, dancers, aerial acrobatics and fire performance across the night, with themed productions — a Burlesque Edition among them — rotating through the calendar. It's built as a sequence of acts rather than a single show built around one performer.
Choose your menu, not just your seat
Booking means choosing a three-course menu — meat, fish or vegetarian — at least three days ahead, so the kitchen prepares for the room it's actually serving rather than guessing on the night. A complimentary glass of wine comes with the dinner.
The night doesn't end when the plates are cleared
Once dinner and the show wind down, Maison Milano's own description has the room turning into a late set with a DJ. Worth knowing if you're planning transport or an early start the next morning — this isn't a two-hour dinner with a show squeezed in.
The evening, in courses
The evening, in courses
The dinner runs in three courses, and the variety bill runs alongside it rather than around it — six moments from the first table to the DJ's opening set.
Maison Milano is open to the public Friday to Sunday and takes private bookings the rest of the week; this ticket covers the Friday or Saturday dinner show. Dress is elegant throughout, and the menu — meat, fish or vegetarian — is chosen when you book.

The room, the table, the dress code
Maison Milano runs as one open room — there's no separate stage-side restaurant and back-room theatre, and no private rooms for hire within the evening.
One open room, not a stage apart from the tables
The dining floor and the performance space share the same room, so the show plays around and between the tables rather than on a separated stage the diners simply face.
Three menus, one for the whole table
Meat, fish or vegetarian — chosen at least three days before the night. Tables of fewer than six can order individually; larger tables choose one menu for the group.
A glass of wine, then the bar
A complimentary glass of wine comes with the dinner; outside alcohol isn't permitted, and there's no separate kitchen line for allergy-safe dishes, so flag any allergy when you book rather than at the table.
Elegant, not costume
The venue's own dress code is simply "elegante" — smart evening wear rather than a themed or costume night, even on a Burlesque Edition date.
Getting there, timing and the late finish
South of the centre, not the fashion streets
Maison Milano sits on Via Lodovico Montegani in Chiesa Rossa / Stadera, in Milan's south — a residential zone well away from the Quadrilatero della Moda, reachable by Metro M2 to Piazza Abbiategrasso (a 3-minute walk from the venue) or tram 3/9.
Friday or Saturday, doors from about 21:15
This ticket is for the Friday or Saturday public dinner show; the venue also opens some Sundays and weekdays for private events and special dates, which this ticket doesn't cover.
Dress elegant, and expect a late finish
The dress code is elegant rather than costume, and the evening runs long once the after-dinner DJ set is included — plan transport for well after midnight rather than an early finish.
Parking is limited — book ahead, or take the metro
Maison Milano has five private parking spaces at around €20 each; street parking nearby is generally accessible, but the metro or a taxi is the more reliable option on a busy Saturday.

Questions before you book
What actually happens during a Maison Milano evening?
A seated three-course Italian dinner runs alongside a live variety bill — singers, dancers, aerial acrobatics and fire performance — from around 21:15. Once the plates are cleared, the room turns into a late set with a DJ. The whole evening runs to roughly three hours before the DJ set, per the GetYourGuide listing.
What's included in the ticket?
A three-course dinner (your choice of meat, fish or vegetarian menu, chosen in advance), a complimentary glass of wine, and the live show. Dancing and the DJ set afterward are part of the same evening.
Is there a dress code?
Yes — Maison Milano's own policy is "elegante" (elegant): smart evening wear, even on a themed date such as a Burlesque Edition night.
Can children attend?
Children under 12 aren't admitted; guests 12 and over are charged at the adult rate, with case-by-case exceptions considered by the venue directly rather than through the ticket.
Which nights does the show run?
This ticket covers the Friday or Saturday public dinner show. Maison Milano is open to the public Friday to Sunday in general and takes private bookings Monday to Thursday, but those private and Sunday dates aren't what this ticket books.
How do I get there, and is there parking?
The venue is on Via Lodovico Montegani in Chiesa Rossa / Stadera, southern Milan — Metro M2 to Piazza Abbiategrasso (a 3-minute walk) or tram 3/9 gets you close. Five private parking spaces are available at around €20 each, and street parking nearby is generally accessible.
What happens after dinner?
Maison Milano's own description has the evening ending with the room turning into a late-night party with a DJ set, once the dinner service and the variety bill wind down.
Can I change my menu choice or guest count after booking?
Maison Milano asks that menus be chosen at least three days before the event. According to the venue's own policy, guest-count changes are accepted without penalty up to noon on the day itself; changes made after that incur a charge, so confirm numbers early.
Can I book with free cancellation?
Yes. The GetYourGuide listing offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund, and many options let you reserve now and pay later — so you can hold your evening while you finish planning.
