A Smile Born for the Women of the World

On 8 March 1998, on International Women's Day, we opened the doors of Il Fischio del Merlo as a tribute to the women of the world, celebrating feminine strength and beauty. Ever since, we have carried on our mission of giving smiles through our cooking, celebrating the beauty of conviviality and authentic flavours.

Our Wine Cellar

Dishes like ours deserve to be accompanied by wines that match their refinement and quality. That is why our cellar offers a selection of labels as varied as it is extensive, able to satisfy every preference and elevate every pairing.
