Olio Restaurant
A seafood restaurant with a kitchen garden and a distinctive event venue in Milan
Olio is a seafood restaurant with a kitchen garden, offering high-quality cuisine in perfect balance between pleasure and wellbeing, where produce from the sea meets ingredients from the garden and the essential touch of extra-virgin olive oil. Seasonal menus, the result of ongoing research and experimentation, feature the finest catches and locally grown vegetables cultivated in the adjacent greenhouses and gardens. The restaurant also offers a fully gluten-free kitchen and is part of the AIC network for gluten-free dining out.
The restaurant is set within one of Milan’s most original event locations, ideal for those seeking a venue that combines elegance and authenticity. The atmosphere is refined, shaped by natural materials such as marble and wood, which bring warmth and a minimalist style to the interiors. Made up of three interconnected rooms and a cocktail bar, the space is enriched by vintage cars and artworks by Pablo Atchugarry, Giacinto Bosco and Francesco Salvi. A striking illuminated ceiling further enhances the venue’s elegance, while open wine cellars display over 500 carefully selected labels, among the finest Italian and international wines.

Greenhouses & Gardens
Event spaces in Milan among greenhouses, gardens and a vintage car collection
Inspired by Venetian architectural traditions, the greenhouses were designed to serve a dual purpose: to ensure the continuous cultivation of seasonal fruit and vegetables, and to provide a highly atmospheric event space in Milan, in direct contact with nature.
While the roots of The Box lie in its greenhouses and gardens, its dynamism is expressed on four wheels: the greenhouses also house part of The Box’s vintage car collection, spanning over sixty years of European motoring history, from post-war Fiat models to those of the 1960s.
The open-plan spaces offer maximum flexibility for bespoke events in Milan and the surrounding area, making them ideal for conventions, breakfasts, buffets, lunches, dinners, shows and private parties. Surrounded by a park of over 6,000 square metres, the greenhouses feature furnished outdoor areas and a striking medieval labyrinth garden, with stone beds planted with seasonal fruit and vegetables, perfect for creating unique experiences. The 1,000 sqm indoor area, divided into four fully glazed and heated bays, is equipped with guest facilities and connected to back-of-house spaces to support catering and technical services, making this event venue in Milan both functional and evocative.
Capacity:
Up to 140 seated guests
Ideal for:
Breakfasts, aperitifs and buffets
Cocktail Bar
The Cocktail Bar: the vibrant heart of unforgettable events in Milan
Located next to Olio Restaurant, the Cocktail Bar is a refined space with a relaxed atmosphere, where vintage cars once again take centre stage. The room, designed in harmony with the restaurant, is enhanced by one of the historic cars from The Box collection, while a painting by Francesco Salvi, depicting his colourful vehicles, brings the walls to life. It is, however, on the drinks menu that cars truly become the stars.
The signature cocktails are inspired by some of the most iconic car models and are expertly paired with the flavours of great classic cocktails, reinterpreted in a modern and experimental style. The result is a journey through past and innovation, blending atmosphere and taste. The selection of fine spirits is also extensive.
Completed by an independent terrace, Olio’s Cocktail Bar is an ideal event space in Milan for business breakfasts, aperitifs and after-dinner gatherings throughout the year. Here, you can host any type of event in Milan, from informal occasions to the most exclusive celebrations.

Anyone stepping into this plenary hall for events in Milan is immediately captivated. This spacious and versatile venue hosts part of the The Box Car Collection, perhaps its most evocative section, dedicated to the cars of the economic boom—true icons that shaped the history of post-war Europe.
Yet it is not only the cars that enchant. The open-plan space (500 sqm) is filled with natural light thanks to large windows overlooking the meticulously maintained surrounding greenery and is complemented by a generous terrace, ideal for outdoor events. The coffered beechwood ceiling adds warmth, intimacy and elegance to the atmosphere, while paintings by [Enrico Ghinato](chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) and a bronze sculpture by [Giacinto Bosco](chatgpt://generic-entity?number=1) further enhance the space.
Recently, the Plenary Hall has been enriched with a new collector’s piece: the [Zagato](chatgpt://generic-entity?number=2) vintage car driving simulator, making this Milan event venue even more unique and original. The room’s layout is perfectly suited for standing receptions, meetings, conferences and exclusive parties.
The presence of a large freight lift on the same floor makes the Plenary Hall extremely flexible and fully adaptable, ideal for any type of event in Milan and the surrounding area—from buffets to corporate presentations—while always ensuring maximum support for catering services and event set-ups.

Car Collection Tour
The collection features some of the most prestigious names in Italian and international motoring history.

During the guided tour of the collection, which makes this Milan event venue truly unique, guests also have the opportunity to visit the Valvole in Testa workshop, specialised in the restoration and maintenance of classic and collectible cars.
