On this trip to Italy I skipped lunch and enjoyed this treat and sat in the piazza to relax and watch the people. The shop is smaller but service is professional and quick. 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.

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!

It's situated next to the best designers (a close walk to Chanel, for instance) and while the service was a bit cold, they were efficient and didn't rush us.

We also got the pistachio and chocolate marizottis - I loved the chocolate one. Decor inside is beautiful and I loved their seating area - each table had a small bud vase of fresh peonies.
