I discovered Piada while researching the must eat foods in Milan and this seemed like the best…read moreplace to get it. I wasn't fucking around so GF and I schlepped the 20+ minute walk over to this place from the city's center. It's small and unassuming which is part of its charm. We arrived literally in the nick of time because there were a few tables left, one of which we were able to snag immediately after placing our order. As we were finishing up, the place had become a bustling mad house and there was already a queue waiting for our table. I LOVE the fact that this place offers vegetarian and vegan options of which GF and I took full advantage. I ordered one of their vegan offerings with zucchini, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and hummus. This was super hearty and I loved how full of veggies it was but they were a little heavy on the olive oil which is probably standard fare for Italians. For me, it was too much. GF ordered a vegetarian piada with mushrooms, zucchini, and cheese. She says it "was amazing" and that she "really enjoyed it". They have a million other variations depending on your preferences and prices are super reasonable.

I'm a bit disappointed by this place, i had very high expectations based on the stellar reviews. As…read moresoon as I got in I saw a mountain of pre-sliced cured meats, amassed on the preparation counter in open air, which was not a good sign to me. Service was pretty quick, maybe due to the pre-sliced meats actually, but the prosciutto crudo in both the piadina we got was tough, and not soft to the bite as it should be. It was very difficult to eat, because you got a big chunk of prosciutto at every bite due to its toughness. The piadina were filled generously and looked great. So many good things about this place, but finally my eating experience was sub optimal. I don't think I'll be back.

If you're looking for a piadina that's larger than your head for 5-8 euros, you've come to the…read moreright spot! Not only are the portions huge, but they're delicious!!! The piadina is light and flaky which is exactly what you want. I've ordered the spianata (pepperoni) piada ---it's pepperoni with grilled zucchini and soft cheese --highly recommend this for you pepperoni lovers. Pepperoni in italian is actually bell peppers, so for those of you that are italian, I mean actual meat pepperoni :) the speck and smoked cheese with walnuts is also fantastic. I've also had the poulette salad which was great although not what I expected. The menu with english translation indicated that it's iceberg lettuce (which I was able to substitute with mixed greens), grilled chicken breast w aromatic herbs, zucchini, carrots, avocado and almonds. When i see grilled chicken breast on a menu, I expect it to be a chicken breast that has been grilled and then sliced thinly. What I got was grilled chicken breast cold-cuts style. Now, although they were cold cuts, it was the tastiest chicken cold cuts I've ever had so I wasn't mad about it! The salad portions are also very large and come with the plain piadina on the side. They're also super efficient and you can watch them make it fresh behind the counter! Come at 1230 to avoid large lines :) if you're on the go, you can take the piadina or salad for take-away.
