Eating well in Milan has never been so interesting, especially when the offering combines respect for seasonal products, artisanal quality, and the deep identity of a territory like the Cilento. This is the philosophy of Modus Milano, the pizzeria by master pizzaiolo Paolo De Simone, who has managed to bring authentic, wellness-conscious cuisine to the heart of the city without sacrificing taste. The Modus menu is much more than an alternative: it is a true journey through flavors—primarily plant-based—surprising textures, and ingredients that speak of the land and the seasons. Starting with the appetizers, we find dishes that highlight Southern peasant tradition, such as eggplant parmigiana, the tasty and delicate mulignane ‘mbuttunate, and the original "From the Garden to the Plate" dish, a triumph of vegetables prepared with care and imagination, which changes according to the season.
The pizzas, the beating heart of the Modus offering, also speak the language of plants with personality: the Ortolana is a classic that is renewed here with grilled vegetables and selected ingredients, the Fior di Zucca wins you over with its elegance and freshness, while the Vegariana is perfect for those who choose a totally plant-based diet, without compromising on flavor.
What makes everything even more interesting is the choice of doughs: whole-wheat flours, ancient grains, high hydration, and natural leavening make every pizza light, digestible, and nutritious. In particular, the “like in the old days” dough, with its low glycemic content and richness in fiber, combines health and Cilento tradition in an authentic and balanced bite. But the green journey of Modus does not stop at pizza. Among the first courses, we find cavatelli with organic tomato sauce, essential yet intense, and the vegetable fusilli, which elevate vegetables in a Mediterranean style. The salads complete the offering with variety and creativity: from the Ricca to the Frisillo, every dish is designed to offer freshness, balance, and taste. And to end on a sweet note, Modus offers light desserts like fruit cream, panna cotta, or traditional Cilento cannoli, perfect for finishing the meal without feeling weighed down. The green inspiration of Modus is, therefore, a conscious and flavorful choice, designed for those who love vegetable-forward cuisine but seek quality, authenticity, and a true gastronomic experience.
