This pasticceria has been around since 1880! There is plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs, and you can stand by the counter if you just want to have a quick coffee and pastry. There is a bathroom located upstairs and is kept in good condition. We came here in the morning to order some espressos and a few pastries. I'm a pistachio lover and the "Rocher pistacchio" was my favorite. They also serve slices of a variety of different cakes, including pistachio, lemon, and chocolate. With so many pastries, you simply must come back and try them all. I gladly give this venue five stars out of five.

It's part of Fondazione Prada and right at the entrance. If I knew earlier I wouldn't have wasted time walking around outside after trying to find it and popped in when I got there when it was less crowded. There wasn't any seating left but you can eat in the room next to Bar Luce or on the long steps outside. The attention to detail is great, the staffs uniform of tiny bow tie and short apron give it a familiar but unique feel. The way ceiling with integrated beams feels like the ceiling of an old bathhouse. The only odd thing is the carved stone wallpaper. Feels like a better choice would have been a vintage looking wallpaper or actual carved stone. Fresh orange juice and pistachio gelato. Gelato came out of a covered metal container and had that desirable natural color, great taste and airy texture. The fresh OJ was what my French friend said she missed the most about living in Milan and it was perfect on a hot day. They had candies near the cash register I brought back for the kids. Wouldn't not recommend the chocolate almonds ones, they had super thick shells that were hard to eat. The raspberry hard candies are interesting, they last an abnormally long time in your mouth.

Was on empty and needed to eat REAL food after a 6 hour train ride. Healthy options, specials and great smoothies sold me. Followed my delicious salad with an iced coffee and I was revived! Then a week later, staying at an airport hotel, we came here and even though the kitchen closes at 3 pm, and it was 3:20 pm (sigh) the owner said we could order whatever we wanted. I nearly cried. He must have sensed the hangries coming on, big time. I had the vegetarian club (€10) and my bf had a pastrami club (€11). While I usually go with whole wheat bread, the white bread was just great. Both of us had a smoothie, pure fruit and veggies, nothing more. And we had to follow it up with a coffee! The bakery case was tempting with cookies, pastries and cakes. Really appreciate the owner's kindness and really enjoyed this charming cafe.

I was a regular here during my semester abroad (it's right next to a university) mostly because of…read morethe superb coffee and pastries. No kidding, during the four months I spent in Milan I never found a cappuccino or caffè americano that was as consistently good as what I got at PD. As for the namesake paninis, the least I can say is you'll never get bored with the selection. The 50+ item panini menu ranges from plain-and-simple to exotic (even in the smaller, ready-made selections behind the counter), and while I didn't care for truffle oil, mashed eggplant, or walnuts in my sandwiches, there are some real gems in there (like #15). Bring a dictionary, though, because the sandwich descriptions are all in Italian. My favorite thing to do was start the day with a cappuccino and croissant with grape jam filling before the mid-morning rush--during which time it's almost too crowded to move--and come back to study in the afternoon. Solid wi-fi, plenty of seating, and great staff (have I mentioned the coffee?) made the minor nuisances bearable. I can only hope that they open their next branch back home in Texas.

The space and atmosphere is well decorated and great for both studying and working with groups, but quite small. The service is 10/10, friendly, fast yet noninvasive. The cappuccinos are a little pricier but consistently great with lovely pasties to go alongside them. It's one of the few places that have soymilk and matcha. I would go everyday before the library opened during midterms and finals. For lunch I've been pleased with all the paninis I've had from here, and a great selection for a Vegetarian such as myself. My friend liked the grain bowl she had as well. TL;DR: Great atmosphere, solid food, highly recommend
