THE BEGINNING: CORSO MAGENTA
In 1964, at Corso Magenta 9, Dina and Renzo De Santis transformed a wig shop into a place destined to become iconic. A new idea was born: a quick yet high-quality meal capable of telling the story of Milan. In a city undergoing major transformation, the venue immediately won over the public, among crowded sidewalks and authentic energy.
DE SANTIS, THE SANDWICH OF MILAN.
The sandwich becomes a gastronomic language: essential, refined and recognizable. De Santis is the benchmark for high-quality casual dining, where selected ingredients and meticulous preparation meet fast service. A Milanese icon spanning generations, with over 200 recipes capable of evolving without losing their identity.
DE SANTIS, BEYOND THE SANDWICH.
With more than 60 years of history and success, De Santis represents much more than a simple place to eat: it is a symbol of taste, tradition and Milanese style, recognized and loved even beyond Italian borders. Today, our company is part of De Santis Group and opens a new chapter of growth and consolidation, thanks to the development of other divisions such as De Santis Gelato and De Santis Ristora for the corporate world, with the goal of preserving its exclusive heritage and guiding the brand toward an increasingly authoritative and distinctive international expansion.
