Lively isn't halfway describing this place, madhouse is more like it! You start at the kiosk and you don't pick your flavors of gelato, just the type. Then you wait in line for them to call your number and people are jumping in front of you as though that will get their number called first (spoiler alert: it doesn't). But it is quite hectic and if you ordered cake too, that's at a separate counter and takes a crazy amount of time for a piece of semi-dry cake. The gelato itself is very good, it's just small for the price and the wait.

There was a line when we arrived (entirely composed of people speaking Italian - a good sign). I tested out my very bad Italian and the staff was wonderfully patient and helpful. We understood each other well enough and we absolutely loved everything we ate. They have these mini pizza bites that have tomato, cheese, and anchovy on them and they were so good I am still thinking about them weeks later. The baked goods are constantly streaming out of the kitchen, so everything is fresh and warm and fantastic. The place is small, but clean, modern, and welcoming. I felt like I was eating what local people eat and not just what they sell to tourists, so it was a great experience.

I even saved one for my wife so she could try it also! Yes! That's one point for me! They were even willing to give me an espresso for "take away" when I asked for a biscotti to go. I was literally stunned! In past years, asking for coffee to go was a major social faux pas equivalent to directly insulting the proprietor and the restaurant. In other words, "If you don't want to drink our coffee here, get the heck out!" Apparently, Italy or at least Milano is changing! Well, this is a sample of one so I suspect your mileage will vary! Try ordering take away coffee at your own risk!
