This cafe is quite a find for us. It's close to our Hotel Palazzo Parigi and the food is wonderful…read more We had a great time trying most of the sandwiches there for lunch and each one was as good as the last one. Bread is fresh and delicious making it one of the best places to get a quick bit to eat as we walked the streets of Milano. Come early before the rush around 11:00 to 11:45 am and get a cup of expresso a small desert or one of these great sandwiches. If u want to eat in they have a big dining room where the workers of Milano eat and enjoy real food at a reasonable price

I heard so many good things about this pasticceria that i had to try it. In particular I was…read moreinterested in trying the Torta Enrico, their signature torta and the Zurich Torte, which definitely caught my eye on the website. They were both delicious, but I have to say that they did not meet my expectations. Maybe I had to high of an expectation you might say and you might be right. Anyway, the torta Enrico is a sweet pastry crust (pasta frolla) filled with dark chocolate and pears. The crust is really good, but overall it didn't deliver the amazing experience i was expecting. It was just really good. Same thing for the Zurich Torte, a sweet pastry crust filled with baked pastry cream and apples, very very good, but not sublime as i was hoping. Anyway, this is a classic pasticceria in Milan that delivers very high quality desserts and pasticcini, you can't go wrong with it.

Founded in 1945 and having maintained a homey interior where the full pastry kitchen can be seen through glass behind the counter-top, Pasticceria Castelnuovo opens every day except Monday at 08h00 with a focus on Italian classics given a Milanese focus, several items not previously seen in Venice or Parma soon to become regular findings including a Brownie-dense cake entitled Torta Enrico that marries Pears to Chocolate with almost no additional sugar making for a bold, bittersweet taste. Offering several styles of Petit Fours, Tartlets and Cookies, those with Marzipan and Nuts a beautiful balance of textures that saw sweetness tempered by natural savory notes, both the Cream and Jam Croissants were still toasty warm with well-separated layers of lamination beneath their golden exterior, a tiny Layer Cake of Rice infused with Rum also quite pleasant.

If you are looking for Italian roast and very smooth espresso, this is the place. We went hunting…read morearound Milano and this place came out as the best. First they use a traditional lever espresso machine as you would see in Napoli. Their beans are also roasted in Napoli. That is already a good start. The coffee guy knows his stuff and is happy to share his thoughts on how to best take a cup of coffee. They typically serve the espresso with a sweet cream smear in the cup made from coffee, sugar and a little milk. If you want just espresso, you should ask. they actually use a different bean if you want unsweetened straight espresso. Both are really good, just ask for what you want. Will definitely come back next time.

Great spot with not too many brioche options but the few that they have (le tre Marie) are amazing…read more Coffee is delicious and a very small little bar with a very cute outdoor seating area. For the few options that they have I do have to say that the quality is amazing. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to this bar with the many options there are in Milan, however, if I'm in the area I would definitely swing by for a caffè and brioche in the morning. Delicious little spot, for sure a nice spot!

The owner is nice enough to explain each one of the paninis with what it comes with as the menu is fully Italian. Not a tourist spot, but a local hidden gem. Their cappuccino is rich and creamy and if you feel like having a sweet treat just go next door where they have all the dolce treats. Besides paninis they also offer Focacce, Piadine, Insalate.
