Another Italian haven we explored during this years Milan Salone was the unique and humbling space of Mari n’ Co.  This family run catering space has been a priority spot for Mint since we were first invited back in 2012.  Mari n’ Co has been the chosen location for many high profile exhibitions and fashion shows as the large atmospheric space lends itself well to these functions.  During our visit, we were treated to a selection of freshly picked vegetables, moist riccotta cheese and a chickpea and calamari broth ! I personally cannot wait until our next visit !
