Here you'll find the listings of restaurants for sale in Lombardy: trattorias and osterias, fine-dining restaurants, ethnic venues and fast formats, in Milan and its hinterland but also in Bergamo, Brescia, Monza, Como and on the lakes. It's the largest and most liquid restaurant market in Italy: businesses change hands often, supply covers every price bracket and the best sites sell quickly, so it pays to move with a clear idea of your budget and your target area.
The price range is wide: an established restaurant in the province is often valued at 2-3 times EBITDA, while in Milan and the tourist spots on the lakes it reaches 3-5 times, partly because some of the price pays for the lease and the location. Before making an offer, check the sales of the last 2-3 years, the rent and lease expiry, the compliance of the kitchen and the flue, and the team: employees transfer with the business under art. 2112 c.c., and in food service trained staff are an asset, not a cost.
Use the filters by province, price and revenue and contact sellers to arrange a visit, ideally on a full service day. To prepare, read the guide buying a restaurant and estimate the value with the valuation tool. If you're selling your restaurant in Lombardy, publish your listing from €37 + VAT, one-off payment and no commission on the sale. You can also explore all businesses for sale in Lombardy.
Frequently asked questions
In the provinces and mid-sized towns established restaurants generally run from €60,000 to €200,000; in Milan they rarely start below €150,000 and in the strongest areas often pass €300,000-€600,000, with peaks above a million for historic venues or unique locations; on Lake Como and Lake Garda well-established tourist businesses frequently sit between €200,000 and €500,000.
You start from normalized EBITDA (adjusting the owner's personal costs and charging a realistic salary for them if it isn't in the books) and apply a multiple of 2 to 5 depending on the area and how solid the sales are; you then add the equipment and weigh the goodwill: reviews, regular customers, recurring bookings. Be wary of prices justified only by "potential" sales. To see what the intangible part is really worth, read the guide on business goodwill.
In Milan taking over saves you the most expensive and uncertain part: finding the premises. Good leases are rare, and opening from scratch often costs €150,000-€300,000 in works, equipment and months without sales. By taking over you pay for goodwill but start with customers, staff and active permits from day one. Opening makes sense only with a genuinely distinctive format, or in emerging areas where rents are still affordable.
Beyond sales and financial statements for the last 2-3 years: the lease (rent, expiry, the landlord's break clauses), the health permits and HACCP registration, the compliance of the flue and the systems, debts to suppliers (the buyer is jointly liable for those recorded in the accounting books, art. 2560 c.c.) and the staff contracts. Check for any ongoing disputes too, and always have an accountant beside you before the preliminary agreement.
You rarely need all the capital at once: deferred payments agreed with the seller are common (for example 30-50% on signing and the rest over 12-36 months), alongside bank lending backed by the Fondo centrale PMI guarantee and regional schemes for business succession or under-35s. A business plan built on the venue's real sales is the key to getting credit. All the options are in the guide on how to finance a business purchase.
