If ever you happen to find yourself in Milan, Italy with nothing to do, or without an idea of where to eat, you might wander over to Gold, the "concept" restaurant from fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana.
The restaurant is, well, a testament to elaborate style of the Italian designers. Everything, and I mean everything, is done up in gold, from the staircase to the chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. And of course, if D&G are going to do a restaurant, they're going to do it big. Not only is there a restaurant, but there is a bistrot, a slightly more casual atmosphere with a limited menu, a lounge bar, and a coffee shop/cafe.
As far as the menu is concerned, I can't see what's on it from the website, but they do say it Italian cuisine (naturally). However, I am always wary of the quality of food in these "concept" restaurants. Nonetheless, if you stop in Milan, it's probably worth going, just for the gawk-factor.

If you want fashion, go to "corso Como, 10" for the dinner and to "Hollywood" fot he after dinner. 100% Milano Fashion Guaranteed.
If you want good food (and you can afford it) go to "il luogo di aimo e nadia" one of the best restaurants in italy. And again "Cracco Peck", "Joia" only to name the best.
Recently D&G pulled their ad campaign from a major newspaper because the restaurant reviewer of the newspaper dared to write that he had a very bad dinner at Gold ( i can confirm this too...).
