The hostel itself is really clean, has cool, eclectic décor and several patios for guests to hang out on. The kitchen upstairs has an rooftop herb garden with tables and is a really great spot to cook, hang out and relax. Probably my favorite part is how awesome the staff is. Really great people who go out of there way to make the experience at Ostello fun and feel like home. Definitely recommend staying here!

I came out here with a friend and we ordered way too much food... Which is surprising because portions often tend to be SMALL in Italy. I got a Nutella cappuccino which was like a regular cappuccino but with Nutella on the bottom. For dessert we split two cupcakes (oreo and red velvet) and a savory dish for splitting was Avo toast with poached egg and a giant burrata! I will definitely be back as much as I can, as there are so many different sweets to try (including a cinnamon roll)!

For the few options that they have I do have to say that the quality is amazing. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to this bar with the many options there are in Milan, however, if I'm in the area I would definitely swing by for a caffè and brioche in the morning. Delicious little spot, for sure a nice spot!

Please don't hesitate to come here for the lack of reviews. Paninis are not Inside a counter where…read moreyou can see them, rather they are freshly made with great panini bread. The owner is nice enough to explain each one of the paninis with what it comes with as the menu is fully Italian. Not a tourist spot, but a local hidden gem. Their cappuccino is rich and creamy and if you feel like having a sweet treat just go next door where they have all the dolce treats. Besides paninis they also offer Focacce, Piadine, Insalate.

This review is coming in a bit late, but I didn't have a very pleasant experience at this shop. I…read moregot the worst possible table (near the toilet) as I went in alone. There were actually only a couple of sofas at the entrance, so I'm not sure why it's called "sofa" cafe. The cafe itself is so cramped, it could be organized better in my opinion. As I was sitting at my table, pretty much every person who came into the shop seemed to want to use the toilet, so the line was very long and I kept bumping into each person. As for the coffee and pastry I ordered, it was just about ok, nothing special. The service was also very slow. I wouldn't recommend this place especially if you're going in alone and want to spend some time working or to read a book.

Great location- along a bustling street full of other bars and restaurants…read more Cocktails were above average. I'm quite fussy with my drinks and I must admit they were pretty well made! Not the best in the world but certainly better than the average. I would highly recommend the Moscow Donkey for a warm summers day as it was very refreshing! The only thing I would mention is the service was pretty poor. It took us about 10-15minutes to get our orders taken, and then we had to wait at least another 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive. If you're not in any rush (like us) then it's perfectly fine, but I would imagine it being quite annoying if you had somewhere to be afterwards. Overall it was above average drinks, below average service and a great relaxed ambience.

The best was the spinach ravioli and fracado drink. This was such a good deal!! Very worth it and we totally could have just had dinner here with small plates. By the time we passed by at 21:00, it was popping outside. We did see some flies around the kitchen, by the desserts. Which is why it's not 5 stars.

After numerous years of trips for business to Italy and Milan I finally found a place that can…read moreserve a decent cup of coffee and who actually cares about what goes into it. The people at Taglio offer a wide variety of specialty coffee from different origins and where one can select the method (V60, Aeropress etc). Execution is good but their own roast is good (don't get me wrong it totally beats anything else from Italy) but they also have coffee from other roasters. All together the coffee itself is a reason to visit but Taglio is so much more as they also serve excellent food. The pasta I had was a nice example of well-made uncomplicated food. They are also a deli so sell a lot of charcuteries and cheeses as well as other food items (tea, coffee, beverages, granola etc) The service was nice, friendly, mostly English speaking and fairly fast and they also have free wifi (however with mandatory facebook login) so a place I will visit again. Only minor drawback would be the price level - dinner easily came to €50 per head and while not super-expensive it is still a bit on the high side for more of a neighborhood place.
