A few things have changed here since we last visited. First of all, all 3 towers are completed…read more Second, the M5 no longer runs directly under the tower. No idea what happened there, but we had to disembark at Amendola and walk up the street a bit to reach City Life. I do wonder. We were meeting my lovely friend here for a coffee and long over due visit! We stopped in to a coffee shop that serves Illy brand espresso. If you know espresso, you know about Illy. After that we went to the grocery store to buy a needle and thread. A button fell off a coat. The grocery store is just as nice as ever and has absolutely everything. Including my needed needle and thread! Next we walked all around the shopping mall. It was busy for a week day and all the store fronts are filled! Eventually we found a seat and visited for a while until my friend had to leave for a party. She walked us back to the Amendola station via a more direct and pleasant route through a neighborhood. City Life Shopping District mostly serves the many apartment dwellers who live all around Tre Torre. (Some of these are multi-million dollar apartments) Besides coffee shop and grocery store it has many restaurants and lots of clothes stores plus more. When in Milan, it's an interesting stop to see the modern apartment buildings constructed by a famous architect and check out the stores. And of course, you have to stop in for a coffee.

The architecture around is interesting, a mix of skyscrapers (3 torri - 3 towers), old classic Milano buildings and new constructions. Not exactly in the center of Milan, but you can easily reach out via metro line 5, tre torri stop. I think it's worth a visit or even two

If you're going to stop in Milan for a bit this is the place for some food shopping. Inside this…read moreindoor market you will find many different stalls selling the most amazing varieties of food.

Al nostro mercato si può fare la spesa con poco, scegliendo prodotti di stagione e più "comuni" o scegliere cose particolari, adatte a piatti speciali o cene in cui sfoggiare la propria bravura! E non tralasciamo il fatto che alla gastronomia si possono trovare anche pietanze preparate da cuochi stellati!

The supermarket was very clean and organized. Prices were average. I wouldn't say it's to tourist…read morefriendly. None of the staff was very welcoming or willingly looking to provide customer service. They do have a good selection of local products available. One weird thing for me being American was. They kept their eggs on shelves instead of the cooler section. I will say one thing that made this place a "Do not return" spot for me was the there was several rotten fruits and vegetables left mixed in with the others. You can tell they had been there for days and no one checks. They charge for bags here so keep that in mind and plan accordingly. I will say I like the hrs of operation.

Date of visit: May 27, 2025…read more I wanted to bring back some pasta for my employees and rather than hitting up a tourist spot featuring overpriced pasta shaped like gondolas, I found a grocery store where locals were more likely to buy their pasta. There was a decent selection of pasta at a very good price, with several brands outside of the store brand available for purchase. The store was clean and in good condition; really the only things that I didn't like was the unfriendliness of the person staffing the self-checkouts (no greeting or acknowledgement at all) and that despite the checkout having an English option, the receipt still printed in Italian. Seems like an easy fix!
