    panettone
    Yiqiu W.

    The panettone is so good here. I always had the Costco one and this one has a such better texture and fresh taste of the fruit inside.

    Cova is an institution and for a reason - the pastries and baked goods are absolutely delicious and the staff is friendly - must stop in Milan

    Overpriced tourist trap with beautiful pastries. Great coffee. Horrible spoiled orange juice. A must if you are shopping in the area and need a short break.

    Cappuccino
    Farokh S.

    Better for afternoon cappuccino and pastry than for lunch. Atmosphere is high end but comfortable. Lots of high society locals. Lunch was overpriced for food served.

    While walking in Milan, we came to the Ernst Knam pastry and chocolate shop. No such shop was…read moreworthy of being passed overlooked by our group so we went in to look at the pastries and chocolates for sale. I didn't try and of the chocolates. 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. They are very tasty and I have been having one every two or so days to spread out the time they last. Too bad there wasn't more time/stomach size to try more while in the shop.

    Items Selected: Olive Oil, Salted Caramel, Aged Balsamic…read moreTruffles Chocolate Pumpkin Tart Fig Brownie Pear, Pinenut, Chocolate Ganache Tart An artisan Chocolatier and Bakery located at Via Augusto Anfossi 10, current sidewalk repairs and subdued signage making the space difficult to identify during a Friday morning visit in September, Ernst Knam is considered the "King of Chocolate" in Milan and operating his shop near Piazza Cinque Giornate since1992 a brief look spoke of a man not only passionate about what he does but also one still learning, the flavors of his confections often as challenging as they are delicious. 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.
