Bought a couple of lovely prints and a litany of cardholders and wallets as gifts. One of my favorite parts of my trip to Milan.

This place is amazing. I don't know whether or not they are over priced, based on a previous…read morereview, but they do have a wide range of antiques: maps, globes, compasses, and feather pens. The shop was established in 1881 and Francesco, who was very kind and helpful to us, is the 4th generation owner -- a very long ancestry is rooted in this establishment. The service was impeccable and Francesco was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of all the products. Most of the souvenir items such as pens and journals are located on the ground floor, but the basement has the most interesting items: authentic antique paintings, globes and maps. I would definitely recommend stopping by the shop when you're visiting Milan.

American Bookstore wasn't an Amazon-styled warehouse of books. They had no catalog. You just look at the shelves and pick something out. And they have an immense selection to peruse and ponder. There were a lot of classics and plenty of new titles. They even had a large selection of rare books with a staff dedicated to restorations. It felt right out of The Nineth Gate.

The ambiance exuded a modern feel and a mix of tradition which was evident on their menu as well. I ate inside the courtyard dining room and felt like it was outdoors. Very nice ambiance. The food was delicious. The Ossobucco was very tender and flavorful and paired with the saffron risotto...just pure glory. The Paccheri Monograno pasta was solid as well. The tomato sauce, basil and bufala cream was delicious and a perfect contrast to the heavier Ossobucco dish. They have a wide variety and wines as well as spirits/cocktails to go with your meal so do indulge in the amazing venue and tasty dishes. The staff as very attentive and helpful as well so I definitely plan to visit again some day :)
