Stop pretending you have other plans. “Imperfect Strangers” is coming to Milan to spice up your social life. If you’re looking to expand your social circle, these mystery dinners are designed to build connections based on shared interests and “obsessions.” And who knows? You might go home with new friends and incredible stories to tell, after enjoying some delicious food.

What is Imperfect Strangers?
Imperfect Strangers is an icebreaker dinner for adults, but with zero forced matchmaking and high-quality food and drinks. None of the dinner guests have any idea who they’ll meet, so it eliminates the awkward small talk that usually happens when you’re invited to a dinner where everyone already knows each other.
But how does it work? Upon purchase, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a form to fill out. It’s a short questionnaire asking general questions about yourself, your hobbies, your interests, and your food and drink preferences. And that’s it! The algorithm will do the rest to match you with the best table for you. Now, we always want to impress our new friends, but we encourage you to be honest to ensure the best matches.
Who attends these Imperfect Strangers dinners?
This experience is open to everyone: those who love a bit of mystery, those who want to meet new people, or those who want to step outside their usual circle of friends. In particular, if you need a break from screens, these dinners remind us that real-life interactions are where the real magic happens. Instead of scrolling through photos of someone you met just once at a party, you can meet people face-to-face and share your life experiences. What a story!
