Came here for a weeknight aperitivo with some friends…read more Drink + food is 10 euros, but the food selection that is included with aperitivo is alright. 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!

I went with the double baked and it was delicious. Looked like an almond croissant, but has raspberry and white chocolate hidden inside...it was a good start to the day! The savoury breakfasts that came out all looked really good and they do lunch as well. Definitely worth a visit. Quick do take out but slower, relaxed eat-in service.

I'm doing Milan a favor and eating up all their gelato. Yep, that's a thing. Tasta was my second…read moreserving today and it was similarly excellent. This is a small shop with a couple of seats inside and a few more tables outside. It is in a nice little neighborhood and even at 9:30 PM, there were quite a few folks walking and eating and enjoying this Friday night. This time, I chose the hazelnut and it came with the usual waffle cookie. Smooth, creamy, sweet, very flavorful, and even a couple of roasted hazelnuts in there. Enjoyed this very much.

There is a lot of good Gelato in the 'hood, and this ranks up near the top, so it's definitely worth your while to track it down! The texture and consistency is top-notch, and the flavors are...profoundly good. Stick with the classics - the more "modern" flavors are really good too, but sometimes you just need to go old-school, and this would be one of those times. Oh, don't forget to grab a couple of extra paper napkins - the temperature is just this side of melting, which means it'll be running down your hand unless you gulp it down first (which is the way it should be )

Well, unfortunately they didn't have any granita available, which is a pity and a big lack for a Sicilian ice cream place. So I decided to try an ice cream. It was very expensive compared to other ice creams, being Sicilian doesn't mean it's imported (it would have been better probably!) so I don't get why the price was so high. Anyway, if it was good I would have been happy to pay an extra Euro or two, but the quality was way below the average. I am wondering if they really use fresh milk and fruit rather than industrial components full of preservatives! I have been in many Sicilian places around Italy, and trust me I'll never return into this one.
