We hung around for a few minutes yet nothing happened so we decided to head somewhere else as we were on a schedule. Later in the week we decided to give this another try and I am glad we did. This time we got here closer to 11am and the place was buzzing. We were seated promptly along with the menus. I ordered the veggie omelette and it turned out to be really good. Even though we didn't get a chance to try but they have a lot of bakery pastries and sandwiches which most people were taking out and looked pretty yummy. 5 star cafe a couple of minutes walking from the Duomo in Milan.

Since we were looking for something other than pasta or pizza, we were pleased to sit and enjoy a meal here. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted and sat down at our choice of tables. I must have had the biggest eyes ever, as I just couldn't get enough of the pastry shelf....lined with colorful shapely items that I was going to have....after lunch. Ordered our drinks, Ichnusa beer. A regional local beer that is OH SO GOOD. As we made a final decision on our meal...I couldn't have been more pleased. This place offers you many choices, from panni's, to pastas, to hot meals, to pastries, to breads to take away... you name it...they have it. I settled on the chicken in rosemary with grilled veggies and a salad. When they brought out my plate, I was in heaven! The chicken was cut thinly smothered in a rich gravy with grilled eggplant and zucchini with tomatoes. This dish was succulent, with a nice mild taste of rosemary, but the gravy is what did it for me. It was rich in flavor, creamy, and I wanted to pick my plate up and lick it clean....but I didn't. The veggies were lightly grilled with olive oil and mixed well with my meal. I then had to top if off with a few different pastries. I can't tell you the name, I just pointed until I was done. I had a pistachio pastry, a lemon pastry, Nutella filled pastry, and a pistachio filled....all were delicious and devoured. I wish I had time in Milan after finding this place, because I was in love with that chicken dish, and know that I could never recreate it at home. I would definitely go back if in the Milan area again....even if just for the chicken without pastries!

Many locals stopped in for the traditional Italian standing at the counter espresso and cornetto. We, however, wanted to sit down and relax and they had ample seating upstairs to do so.

I got a savory croissant sandwich and a pistachio cream-filled croissant. I ate a croissant every day for a week in Italy and these were definitely the best ones we found! The pistachio cream was a little sweet and it was filled to the point that when I bit in it exploded everywhere, but then again I'm a bit of a mess. Also no regrets.
