The smoked salmon salad arrives covered in a layer of salmon, a sprinkling of walnuts on top and dressing on the side. The sandwich comes cut in quarters and 'speared' on a skewer.

Close to the Caiazzo metro station, and at walking distance from both Loreto and the Central station, the Art Factory has a main room with a large buffet offering a variety of good food.

In the Summer there's also an outdoor area.

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.

Ugo was mentioned in my guide book and it was a short walk so our decision was made. We made our way and we were seated at a table inside. Ambiance (4/5): Ugo is a sophisticated cocktail bar and the decor and ambiance match. While I was there with my buddy, I thought to myself: this would make for a good date spot. Service (5/5): European service has a reputation for being slow and inefficient. And not terribly friendly. The opposite is true at Ugo. The bartenders were friendly, checked on us promptly, and closed us out quickly when we were ready to leave. This is not the norm in Italy and it was a nice surprise. Food (N/A): We had dinner earlier so drinks only for us. Drinks (5/5): First off, I appreciated the creativity of the menu itself. The signature cocktails were named after board games and there was a short description to make the connection between the game and the drink. The creativity shown on the menu matches the sophistication of the drinks. If you're looking for an elaborate cocktail, you'll find that at Ugo. The cocktail I ultimately chose had cachasa in it (a Brazilian liquor). You don't find this spirit often so I jumped on the opportunity. The cocktail itself lived up to my expectations and then some. Overall: If I lived in Milan, Ugo would be a part of my regular rotation.

I think the decor is great, if you want to grab lunch or come by to read the paper while sipping coffee, this place has plenty of room and a great selection of sweet and savory items. The lunch menu is extensive, with great salad options, seafood dishes or make-your-own-sandwich type of options. The vibe is that of a place serving regional food, selected to give you more options than you can hope for. Even the chocolates are high-end, coming from a chocolatier in Piemonte, and still reasonably priced. My "dose" ran out unreasonably fast, though, but that's a different story. This is a new establishment, they're still ironing out the kinks, but I'm sure you'll have a great time for a quality snack or meal, and when in doubt, the personnel can suggest the best option. Enjoy.
