At the Canadian School of Milan, we believe that food is more than fuel — it's part of a child's cultural, social, and personal development. That’s why we offer a daily culinary experience rooted in the Italian tradition, featuring freshly prepared, wholesome meals made on-site by our kitchen team in partnership with Pellegrini, a leader in high-quality school catering. Each lunch features a well-balanced, rotating menu that includes:

• A delicious first course such as fresh pasta, risotto, or soup
• A nutritious second course with lean proteins or plant-based alternatives
• A generous salad and fruit bar, vegetables, bread, and a light dessert

We prioritise seasonal produce, use organic ingredients where possible, and ensure that our meals meet or exceed Italian health and nutrition guidelines. Our meals are designed not only to nourish but to introduce children to the joy of eating well — blending local flavours with international favourites. Whether it’s a classic pasta al pomodoro or roasted chicken with rosemary potatoes, our menus reflect the rich culinary culture of Italy while promoting healthy eating habits.

We also accommodate:

• Special dietary needs and allergie
• Vegetarian and religious meal preference
• Healthy morning snacks for our Nursery and Pre-K children

At CSM, lunch is not just a break,  it’s a moment of community, care, and culture. It’s one of the ways we help children feel at home while growing strong in body and mind.
