We just wanted a cappuccino and cookie and in return we received was a tier of lovely treats. (Complementary). Elisa took care of us She was so outstanding we came back again!! All because of her.

We discovered the place on our first morning when we stopped in for coffee -- then we returned at the end of the evening for a nightcap. And then we came here morning and night for the next three nights. The food and drinks/coffee were great and reasonably priced, but the service is what sets this place apart. On our first evening here, we were into our second beverages when the owner surprised us with a small meat/cheese tray to go along with the peanuts or chips that were customary at most places throughout the Tuscany region. Even though some nights we would be the only people left, the owner would not hesitate to fire up the meat slicer (which had already been cleaned for the night) to prepare us a special snack. The owner didn't speak a lot of English (but he spoke a lot more English than I spoke Italian), but we managed just fine... and even developed a bit of a friendship. I was sad when we left Milan, in part because it meant we would no longer be starting and ending our days at the Ottolina Café.

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.

Not exactly nutritious in the wholesome nutrient sense, but you get some calories in! I got a (virgin) mojito that came with a nice chunky circular loaf of bread, a couple olives, some oil for dipping, and parmesan cheese. Unfortunately, this tray was meant for *2* people...so definitely plan on getting a small pizza if you come hungry! The location is nice however, right across from Eataly and in front of all the Corso Como action!
