The place
A butcher shop. A fire.
Via Paolo Sarpi 27, the pedestrian street of Milan's Chinatown. The sign is still the Macelleria Sirtori's. Inside, since September 2026, there is Yanso.
Yanso × Macelleria Sirtori
Two trades, one table.
Macelleria Sirtori is a historic shop on Via Paolo Sarpi, recognised among Milan's historic businesses. Yanso is the charcoal Korean BBQ from Viale Monza, in Loreto. In September 2026 the two met here: the Via Sarpi location is announced as a collaboration between Yanso and the Macelleria, with “meat chosen for Yanso”.
The result is a place where the meat comes from people who know how to choose it and the fire from people who know how to use it. The name on the card says it all, and two lines are enough.
The room
Mirrors, brass, mosaic.
A long, narrow room, like the shops of Via Sarpi. A stone grill on every table, a hood above every grill.
The long room
Mirrors on the walls, brass, warm light. The tables are small, the Korean way: you sit close and the grill is in the middle.
The shop's mosaic
The mosaic floor is the one from before. The lit Yanso mark at the back of the room is the one from now.
The meat
Sliced to order.
Twenty-one cuts of beef on the menu, from thick picanha to tongue, from skirt to heart, plus thin snowflake beef and the Korean marinades. Seven cuts of pork, with thick and thin belly. Everything arrives at the table raw, cut for the grill.
“It was clear that most of the meat was sliced to order,” writes one of the first reviews. That is the point.
The street
Via Paolo Sarpi, Chinatown.
The pedestrian street of Milan's Chinatown: dumplings, tea, pastry shops, and in the middle a red butcher's sign.

The first reviews of Via Sarpi.
“The grilled meat was really tasty and the beef was fresh. It was clear that most of the meat was sliced to order and the waiters were very kind.”

“Without a doubt one of the best Korean barbecue restaurants in Europe.”
