The Food Creatives Club vol. 7

The Food Creatives Club returns to Milan with Volume 7, inviting our community to gather around a table where food becomes a meeting point between people, places and personal stories.

At the heart of the evening is a bespoke menu developed in close collaboration by Niki Wu Jie and Atto’s resident chef, Maria Sol Baudry. Niki’s memories, travels and love of convivial cooking meet Sol’s thoughtful, seasonal approach to the kitchen, resulting in a dinner created especially for this occasion.

More than a dinner, this is a meeting of worlds: personal references and shared flavours, creativity and everyday gestures, new conversations and familiar rituals. An intimate evening where every course becomes an excuse to connect.

Niki Wu Jie is a China-born, Milan-based digital creative whose world moves naturally between fashion, art, travel and food. After studying art in China, she moved to Milan to study set design at Accademia di Brera—a background that continues to inform her distinctive visual eye and instinct for creating atmosphere.

Beyond the image, food has always been one of Niki’s most personal languages: a source of joy, memory and connection. She is drawn to simple, generous cooking—the kind that takes time, makes people feel at ease and turns a shared meal into something more meaningful.

For The Food Creatives Club, Niki takes this sensibility from her own kitchen to the table at Atto, creating a dinner that feels personal, spontaneous and made to be shared.

This edition takes place at Atto a Caffè Leopardi, a new neighbourhood café with a kitchen inside the historic Caffè Leopardi on Via Leopardi.

Atto brings together the warmth of a classic Milanese bar and a more contemporary, international outlook. Original details—including the old counter, wood panelling and Verde Alpi marble—meet a dark green resin floor and an open kitchen in steel and glass, creating a space that feels both familiar and unexpected.

Direct, intimate and full of character, Atto is the perfect setting for an evening centred on good food, shared stories and the people gathered around the table.
