This Esselunga is located within a mall, which I have to say is a new one for me, but the location was good for us to walk to and from our apartment and they had a nice variety of items available for purchase. Staff was nonexistent but we were able to find most of what we wanted without any assistance.

The cafe is a very small storefront that we passed without noticing the first time, but once you walk in this place is anything but ordinary. We ordered the tasting menu, a bruschetta with anchovies and mozzarella, and a pucce (sandwich) with capicola and buratta. The sandwich was amazing, the buratta was so soft and paired amazingly with the capicola and olive oil. The bruschetta was amazing and the rest of the tasting menu was as well. The service was wonderful too, there was one person working and she checked in on us frequently and was overall very helpful. Overall this place is amazing and you should definitely check it out whenever you're in Como!

They have... * Dry-aged steaks just waiting for you to indulge. * A huge assortment of preserved slice-able meats waiting for you to ask for a serving. * Seasoned and prepared meats for those unwilling to do it themselves. * More cheese varieties than I know what to do with. I decided picking randomly was the correct approach. It worked! * Fresh vegetarian pasta to break up the potential meat monotony. They were more than patient with my poor Italian pronunciation and let me pick out a few items to enjoy. I don't think tourists normally go here because most tourists stay at a hotel and can't enjoy a fresh self-prepared meal. I, on the other hand, have an apartment with a kitchen and we stocked up for a week of late night snacks!

After numerous years of trips for business to Italy and Milan I finally found a place that can…read moreserve a decent cup of coffee and who actually cares about what goes into it. The people at Taglio offer a wide variety of specialty coffee from different origins and where one can select the method (V60, Aeropress etc). Execution is good but their own roast is good (don't get me wrong it totally beats anything else from Italy) but they also have coffee from other roasters. All together the coffee itself is a reason to visit but Taglio is so much more as they also serve excellent food. The pasta I had was a nice example of well-made uncomplicated food. They are also a deli so sell a lot of charcuteries and cheeses as well as other food items (tea, coffee, beverages, granola etc) The service was nice, friendly, mostly English speaking and fairly fast and they also have free wifi (however with mandatory facebook login) so a place I will visit again. Only minor drawback would be the price level - dinner easily came to €50 per head and while not super-expensive it is still a bit on the high side for more of a neighborhood place.

The option to order brunch after noon was a wonderful surprise and most welcome to California tourists such as ourselves. We ordered the tagliere (salumi platter) and eggs Benedict. Delicious.

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.

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!

An exceptionally nice employee took the time to give us directions to this Peck's, which is practically just around the corner. We walked in, were greeted, and shown to a table. The place has a clean modern look, the staff professional. Our server was over to give us menus. In the first course section the first item was a risotto, which my wife was happy to see, the second a lasagna, which I was happy to see, and that's what we ordered. My Lasagne Bolognese was excellent, good flavor and smoothness punctuated by the pieces of meat. I even got a sample of the risotto from my wife and we both gave it a thumbs up. It was a relaxing meal after a rainy day of trying to be a tourist in Milan.
