About the restaurant
Ciao e benvenuti a Voghera!

At Voghera we proudly showcase the culinary refinement of Northern Italian cuisine, with a focus on Milanese traditional dishes. Our small menu is inspired by the seasons and reflects the products availability of that time of the year.
Along some of our signature Milanese dishes such as Cotoletta alla Milanese – breaded bone-in 16oz veal cutlet, or Risottino alla Milanese – Carnaroli rice simmered with saffron, you can enjoy the Menu Milanese – a 4- course prix-fixe menu that revolves around Milan’s best-known recipes.

Also, Voghera is the first to introduce APERICENA in the United States. Very similar to the Spanish Tapas, this modern Milanese style of dining is derived from the combination of the words Aperitivo (happy hour) and Cena (dinner). It’s available as happy hour, as well as every night in substitution of the full dinner menu if desired.

A type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. They are casual places for after-work drinking. "Izakaya" entered the English language by 1987. It is a compound word consisting of "i" (to stay) and "sakaya" (sake shop), indicating that izakaya originated from sake shops that allowed customers to sit on the premises and drink.

Almost everything on the menu can be shared.

Food reminded me very much of the previous Domo restaurant. Northern Japanese warm earthy comfort food. The curry potatoes were delicious and the pork and garlic ramen 🍜 was the best ramen I’ve ever had. We had a pot of the matcha tea which brought everything together. Great ambience and a fun place for a date. Enjoy!

My husband and I brought our adult kids and their partners for a Christmas dinner. It was lovely, delicious and festive. Chance was our server, he was a GEM! He didn’t miss a beat…and we loved his personality and professionalism. His team backed him up flawlessly. The kitchen knocked every dish out of the park. The bar did an excellent job with everyone’s cocktails. Thank you, Eddie V’s! Merry Christmas and cheers to the New Year! The Stantons
