A friend and I stopped by for breakfast in Milano. It was walking distance from the major…read moreattractions like Il Duomo, but certainly wasn't a tourist trap. Many locals stopped in for the traditional Italian standing at the counter espresso and cornetto. We, however, wanted to sit down and relax and they had ample seating upstairs to do so.
The waitress brought our cappuccinos to our table and we enjoyed looking down at the bustling cafe. The pastry selection was amazing and it was hard to decide what to get! I got a savory croissant sandwich and a pistachio cream-filled croissant. I ate a croissant every day for a week in Italy and these were definitely the best ones we found! The pistachio cream was a little sweet and it was filled to the point that when I bit in it exploded everywhere, but then again I'm a bit of a mess. Also no regrets. If I had been in Milano longer I would have come back to try even more pastries!
