The dome is located on the rooftop where the Gucci sign in displaced, it is about a 3 min walk from the Duomo. We did not make reservations and were able to get seated right away. We went around 1pm and the restaurant was fairly empty. The restaurant did start to get busy after 2:30pm.
As far as the location, you really don't get much of a view of anything but the tip of the duomo maybe. The restaurant is very chic and decorative. The food display is nice as well. The service here was slow, something I experienced almost everywhere in Milan. We knew to just order right away. We got the mini burgers and a club sandwich. Both were really good. read more
