Pay up front at the register then take your receipt to the counter where they will fulfill your gelato dreams. ;P Prices were good too (considering we paid a Euro more for a smaller "piccolo" cup on the Main Street around the corner) especially given the higher quality treat at this place. Our two scoop piccolo cups and cones cost us 4 Euros each and they are generous with the scoops. I got their specialty pistachio and coffee flavors and oh wow!!! My son got the lemon and watermelon and those were both really tasty too. Husband chose the Dubai chocolate and cheesecake and thoroughly enjoyed those. We can't wait to come back again tomorrow and the next day!!

There is a lot of temptation to also purchase a variety of chocolate pieces/bars. Do yourself a favor and give in. You will do enough walking to justify it.

Instead, I bought a bag of Madeleines with both coffee and chocolate pieces and I managed to get the bag home without one being broken.

Apparently a popular face on Food Television overseas, the store itself tight yet clean with a substantial variety of choices available, it was after perusing several Cakes, Tarts, Caramels and Chocolates as oddly shaped as the Kama Sutra that selections were made to take elsewhere for consumption, a trio of chocolates showing a thin shell that breaks cleanly and dissolves smooth around a number of unique fillings from which Olive Oil and Balsamic were chosen, though "Wood," "Speck and Pepper," and Pomodoro were oddly enticing. Unable to resist the elegant array of Tarts, a cost of €5,25 each actually a bargain all things considered, it was with the Chocolate Pumpkin Pie that first bites were enjoyed in a somewhat savage way without utensils, the Pepitas and Salt Crystals adding crunch to an otherwise creamy base while the Pear, Pinenut, and Chocolate Ganache version played off a similar ideas with the fruit's sweetness helping to mellow the rich Chocolate center. Taking a very different approach with item three, a little bit of flour folded in to 72% Cocoa beneath a thinly sliced layer of Figs, suffice it to say that there may be no better "Brownie" anywhere than the one Ernst Knam is selling, the base achieving a rare balance of light texture with intense flavor and little more than the glazed fruit adding sweetness.

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.
