Very worth and a popular spot by Arco della Pace! We first arrived at 18:00 on a Monday and luckily…read morethe good weather meant we could sit outside. 15 euros for one drink and unlimited food - mainly pasta, pizza, dessert, and rice (that could pass for biryani). The best was the spinach ravioli and fracado drink. This was such a good deal!! Very worth it and we totally could have just had dinner here with small plates. By the time we passed by at 21:00, it was popping outside. We did see some flies around the kitchen, by the desserts. Which is why it's not 5 stars.

Recommended by the people in the hotel I was staying. Only and last recommendation, I will take…read more The area is nice and it seems there are options for the apéritivo hour - many places circling ( the under construction piazza ) what annoys me - I took the trouble to come here on my last day - a complete waste of time . They have a buffet for apertivo - all you can eat always a bad sign - food was not made with any care The Negroni - not made with any care If your someone coming to Milan to experience - good cuisine and drinks even for apertivo - skip this

We saw this place on social media and decided to give it a try. As a tourist in Milan, I probably…read morehaven't tried the best Italian food yet, but the food here was pretty good. The best part? It's very affordable -- you just need to order a drink, and all the food is free. During our four-day stay in Milan, we actually came here twice because we found the value to be excellent. The food is served buffet-style, so the portions are generous, and it comes with a drink. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're near the Duomo and want a full meal with lots of variety. It's a great way to try small portions of many different dishes, so I'd mainly recommend it for the variety rather than the quality of each individual dish.

We were here in December of 2024. We were in Milan for a little less than a week but somehow we…read morebecame regulars here. The staff made us feel at home the first night which made us want to come back. Apertivo and late night were spectacular. The apertivo food spread was beyond incredible and we want to come back to Milan almost solely to visit here again. Could not possibly recommend this anymore for anyone looking for the apertivo experience or just a wonderful bar with good drinks and staff that will welcome you with open arms!

The best of a night at several bars on the Navigli. Read my profile and my reviews, you'll find…read morethat I am a pretty experienced booze hound. Pinch is a total replica of American hipster craft cocktail bars, in Milan. The bartenders wear suspenders and do tricks with shakers. I'm waiting for an ironic mustache, preferably like the Moretti guy has. The drinks are exceptional. When I was there, they had one made of green tomatoes and mountain pine liqueur that was a taste party in my mouth. The aperitivo snacks are also really excellent, a small tray of various interesting crunchy things. No potato chips -- we're talking samosas in wonton wrappers with sweet chili sauce, Indian curry rice, a ham-arugula roll, and baba ghanoush. My second drink didn't quite match the first, but it was close. Also, the only bar in Milan that gave me *zero* grief about wanting a simple glass of tap water. In fact, they just give you one. Mega bonus points for that. I'm sick of paying for "aqua panna Toscana" that I neither need nor want. Been drinking Milan tap water in my hotel room for four days now. It's fine. Pour it on. Food offerings from the regular menu are a little hit or miss, but on the other hand, I had kind of stuffed myself with aperitivo. Had I been hungry, might've been a different story.

Another perfect cocktails bar in Navigli! And yet I thought this Milanese neighborhood was only…read morefilled with bars with bad & cheap drinks, loud music and greasy aperitivo food (well, there are plenty of bars like that but thankfully not all of them). Pinch is a new bar right in Ripa di Porta Ticinese, not in the pedestrian part of the Naviglio, which means they don't have outside seating - except for the tables at the windows. It has a retro vibe, as if you entered a 1920s bar, dim lights, soft 1920's music; elegant but not ostentatious atmosphere. The cocktails list has about 15 signature cocktails, all with an explanation of the alcoholic level (medium or high), taste (fresh, spicy, bitter, etc.) and of course the ingredients, classic cocktails with a twist, made extremely well, with good ingredients. They also have a food menu but I didn't check it out since we were there for the aperitivo - which then turned into after-dinner drinks. I had the "South of the Border" with tequila, chartreuse vert, lime juice, sugar syrup and fresh mint, it was fresh and delicious, then I had another one and another one... just to be sure they were made perfectly ;) For the aperitivo, our cocktails were 8 euro each and the waiter (who looked like Robert Pattinson) brough a small tray with some snacks: rice and salad in small glasses, chips, mini-sandwiches and a couple of vol-au-vents - not enough to fill our stomachs completely but also not the average greasy aperitivo food. Nice staff, a full bar with quality bottles and clean bathrooms complete the experience. Too bad it's far from my house, but worth the subway trip back!

Amazing BRUNCH VIEWS!…read more FOOD: 4 out of 5 stars We did brunch and the food was decent, you're essentially paying for the view. Menu is in Italian with English translation under. LOCATION: 5 stars Inside building, go to rooftop. It looks like a chiq food hall with so many yummy treats along the way but only the restaurant gives you the view. SERVICE: 5 stars Service was quick, polite, no complaints at all. AMBIANCE: 5 stars Your view is a close up to Duomo il Milano. WAITLIST: 5 stars No wait for brunch.

It has a very creative vibe with plenty of foliage, and looks like there are a few studios down the hall. Their big menu made it rather difficult to decide on what to drink.
