Stremati da una camminata interminabile per il centro di Milano, abbiamo deciso di trattarci bene e di fare un piccolo aperitivo dolce in una delle pasticcerie storiche di Milano. Abbiamo ispezionato Bastianello, Marchesi e Cova, e abbiamo deciso per quest'ultima. Budino di crema cotta, cannoncino, cavolino, cioccolata con panna, tutto era eccellente e servizio impeccabile. Molto caro, ma lo sai prima di entrare, quindi non ti puoi lamentare.

We were able to get a table right away even though it was pretty crowded on a Saturday morning. I wanted to look at the pastries and order there, but the whole process was a little chatoic. I told the woman behind the counter that I was sitting down at a table, and she told me she would hand it to my waiter. After waiting a bit, our waiter had to come back and ask what I ordered, and it seemed like he wasn't able to find it. Eventually he did come back with the correct order, and he was very apologetic about it. We haven't had the best service in Italy, but our server here was amazing! He was so kind and made the experience that much better. As for the pastries, I got the croissant with vanilla cream and the raspberry maritozzo. I wasn't expecting to like the maritozzo because I don't usually like cream puffs, but this one was so different from the ones I've had in the US! The cream was so light and fluffy, and the brioche bread was the perfect accompaniment. The raspberry jam added a nice tart flavor to it as well. Overall, this place gets a little crowded sometimes, but it's a great place to stop by when you're shopping!

The service was amazing and the fruit tort was delicious. Eating at a streetside table was a plus.read more

Sometimes that's bad when I know that the items will disappoint but I am craving sweets. These items were all very good but I just don't typically eat this type of baked good, so you could just taste the sugar in them. I felt the prices were reasonable and the items were very moist and had good flavor. My husband got a slice of pizza that had artichokes, tomatoes and ? - it is a thicker crust but was very good. We also grabbed a pear cake - very moist but too sweet for me. A chocolate tart - good but again sweet, he made out and ended up getting my piece too. I also got a pistachio cake slice- way too sweet but ok flavor. We'd go back and their juice and coffee selection looked good. If you are american, this looked to be a good spot to grab a more "american" style coffee.

You pay at the register and take your ticket to the gelato counter and choose your flavors. They are happy to give you samples. I had my heart set on a real Italian gelato. Flavors ranged from fruity to milky. I ended up choosing the milk flavor and a sort of nutty, snickers flavor. It was so creamy and incredible! Everyone in the store was Italian so it was not touristy at all but a real locals spot. This will be my go-to for gelato in Milan!

If you want to treat yourself after some haute-couture shopping in Via Montenapoleone, it's a good segue that's not going to set you back... any less. At any rate, I consider Bastianello a must-see attraction in Milan, even if it's just for a standing espresso, the Italian way. But if you're willing to indulge, you have options aplenty. The "brioches" in their viennoiserie section are outstanding, and while they look like a "cornetto" or "croissant", they're something else. The apricot-filled ones are definitely a new. But it's not just sweets. If you're sitting down, there's a full menu to pick from, and I would say that the omelet is a must. It's not a simple omelet, it's a huge masterpiece, perfectly arranged on the dish with a salad side. Traditional desserts are also available, such as tiramisu or chocolate coulant. The lunch menu is nothing short of impressive, and if you choose the "Classico" instead of the "Light" version, you're offered additional snacks, like homemade potato chips. My all-time favorite, regardless of the season, is the "caffè con gelato", a DIY affogato, so to speak. I recommend the hazelnut flavor for the gelato, over which you can pour the espresso as you see fit. The way it's presented is priceless, and if you order it at the bar, it's less-priced, pun intended. Suit up, and enjoy.
