I think they might be more known for crepes, but I had the strawberry cheesecake gelato, and it was so decedent and rich. Also for the price point, I don't think I could've asked for anything better.

I didn't know a lick of Italian so I point blank chose pistachio and stracciatella gelato. The gelato is thick and less sugary than in the states.

After struggling for a while with google translate to figure out Italian translations, we stumble upon what we are looking for.

Both pistachio and dark chocolate are delicious. The sorbets were quite a surprise, both incredibly refreshing and flavorful. The sorbets are also extremely soft with a very fine granular texture. The avocado was amazing, definiteły try it. The gelato here is top notch, I now have a new reference point for what gelato should be. Don't miss out on this treat!

Located on Viale Col di Lana, the address a bit perplexing given angular streets and a largely residential surrounding, entry to RivaRena sees patrons greeted by traditional metal containers with specialty flavors given names such as Leonardo or Alice, a four flavor cone eventually created at a cost of just €4. Taken by the variety of nut flavors, fruits largely represented as Sorbetti or Granita with approximately two-dozen total flavors daily, a first taste of Pistachio showed the light green concoction to be a bit sweeter than others in Venice or Parma, the Pinenut almost buttery in its finish while Wine and Gianduia ribboned a lighter style made from Mascarpone. Seeing some flavors dressed before serving, drizzles of Dark Chocolate and Housemade Caramel additionally offered for Sundaes with Whipped Cream, a scoop of Biscotti Cookie flavored Gelato from the "Novita" section was quickly topped with slivered Almonds and a spoon of Caramel immediately before being handed over, everything about the combination making it seem destined as a future special with a title.

You pay at the register and take your ticket to the gelato counter and choose your flavors. They are happy to give you samples. I had my heart set on a real Italian gelato. Flavors ranged from fruity to milky. I ended up choosing the milk flavor and a sort of nutty, snickers flavor. It was so creamy and incredible! Everyone in the store was Italian so it was not touristy at all but a real locals spot. This will be my go-to for gelato in Milan!

If you want to treat yourself after some haute-couture shopping in Via Montenapoleone, it's a good segue that's not going to set you back... any less. At any rate, I consider Bastianello a must-see attraction in Milan, even if it's just for a standing espresso, the Italian way. But if you're willing to indulge, you have options aplenty. The "brioches" in their viennoiserie section are outstanding, and while they look like a "cornetto" or "croissant", they're something else. The apricot-filled ones are definitely a new. But it's not just sweets. If you're sitting down, there's a full menu to pick from, and I would say that the omelet is a must. It's not a simple omelet, it's a huge masterpiece, perfectly arranged on the dish with a salad side. Traditional desserts are also available, such as tiramisu or chocolate coulant. The lunch menu is nothing short of impressive, and if you choose the "Classico" instead of the "Light" version, you're offered additional snacks, like homemade potato chips. My all-time favorite, regardless of the season, is the "caffè con gelato", a DIY affogato, so to speak. I recommend the hazelnut flavor for the gelato, over which you can pour the espresso as you see fit. The way it's presented is priceless, and if you order it at the bar, it's less-priced, pun intended. Suit up, and enjoy.
