De Canto was my favorite caffe in Milano on my recent stay…read more The location was perfect right on the Piazza Della Scala. I stopped in after looking at the Galleria D'Italia, a space with free exhibits owned by Banca d'Intesa. This caffe has a warm wood interior. You may order at your table any of the food or drinks and the waitstaff will bring it to you. I spent a countless number of times at de Canto because I had just window-shopped along the Via Montenapoleone or had visited Rizzoli in the Galleria nearby or just wanted an oasis of quiet in this mad, chaotic city that was away from the crowds. There is no copperto so you don't pay extra to sit or stand. It's copperto free! I enjoyed having a cup of tea in each visit. If you order a coffee, you get a small piece of Venchi chocolate - a nice treat! Tired from shopping, from visiting the Duomo, from your crazy co-workers or sweetheart who has been nagging you all day, stop by de Canto. You will leave refreshed and feeling very zen.

Lively isn't halfway describing this place, madhouse is more like it! You start at the kiosk and you don't pick your flavors of gelato, just the type. Then you wait in line for them to call your number and people are jumping in front of you as though that will get their number called first (spoiler alert: it doesn't). But it is quite hectic and if you ordered cake too, that's at a separate counter and takes a crazy amount of time for a piece of semi-dry cake. The gelato itself is very good, it's just small for the price and the wait.

I got to sit under the canopy and work for a bit while enjoying a Nutella crêpe and warm cappuccino. Four stars because it took a while for my order to get to me... I understand the crêpe taking some time but I had to remind one of the waitresses of my cappuccino. The crêpe was rubbery but it had a generous amount of Nutella, so that made up for it. The cappuccino was alright, but very necessary for the perfect rainy day breakfast.

I can't remember all but I ended up with the pain au chocolat to go with my cortado. The cafe is small, with a few small tables inside and outside. It's run by two baristas and they're quick. We went first thing in the morning, and were a little surprise of the small line that was building outside since the cafe wasn't opened yet. Tho, that served as a good sign for us. The locals love it.

If you go to Milan, you should stop here. It is located just behind the Galleria (world's oldest…read moreshopping mall) and Il Duomo (the marble cathedral). Yes, it is a little bit "touristy", but lots of fun. They have savory (such as prosciutto and cheese) and sweet (chocolate). I have been several times and it is not unusual for the line to be down the block. If so, divide and conquer: One person find a place to sit (steps in front of the cathedral?) while the other goes to order and bring back the goodies.

Established in 1888, Panzerotti Luini is a legendary spot that almost always has a lineup. Trust me, it's worth the wait. When it's finally your turn at the counter, pick your panzerotto, grab a cold Peroni, and enjoy it street-side. The shop's location, just a few minutes from the breathtaking Duomo di Milano, makes it the perfect pit stop with plenty to see and do nearby. Get yourself over there--you'll leave with a savory taste lingering and a big smile. Saluti!
