We stumbled upon this gem while walking through the financial district 10-09-2014. We were hungry…read moreand saw business people inside standing at counters eating. Various vegetable and cheese salads were being spooned into bowls for patrons. 6 Euros for a good sized portion is affordable. The cashier urged me to eat first, "Mangiare, mangiare!!!" and then pay. Servers were very friendly. The salad had unfermented green olives, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, chunks of soft crumbled rustic bread, and chunks of cheese of unknown variety. The salad was moist. Sandwiches are also offered. Many people ate here on their lunch break. They must be regulars. We walked 2 kilometers the next day to eat here again passing by other cafes. Enjoy!!

Top buffalo mozzarella flown in daily from the countryside of Salerno (a beautiful city south of…read moreNaples). I usually like regular cow milk mozzarella, but I make an exception for what they sell here. Try the little buffalo balls (no, not those balls!), mouthfuls of total yumminess. They also have "caciocavallo" cheese, quite expensive due to the paucity of availability in northern Italy. A must try for the cheese-addicted.

I was at Milan Main Central Station and while looking for a quick bite to grab I stumbled upon…read moreFattorie Garofalo. I ordered a Panino Crudobu' on the go for 7.50 Euros and it was delicious! The bread, prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella were fresh and a pleasant surprise. I would recommend this place over any Mc Donald's or other fast-food chains.

Are you addicted to cheese? Are you looking for your next…read morepleasure in life? Do you crave for REAL flavors and decent prices? Have you ever wondered how those mozzarella bites are hand made? LOOK NO FURTHER... this store is your next HOT SPOT in town. When you enter you know immediately that the true king is the processing and the cheese making (which you can see through the windows to the cheese atelier...) The ladies are always running around like headless chickens but are efficient, always in a good mood and willing to answer each and all questions, gladly handing you samples of what you will surely end up buying anyways... The price? I follow the rule that good, tasty and proudly hand made products do come with a price tag... but, believe me, 20€ will buy you quite the ammount of cheese heaven... So, hop on line 50, navigate your way through via Lorenteggio, hop off and walk briefly through Via Tolstoj and ENJOY your cheese. Only problem? If you drive there, parking is just by chance... or ... stop, hop off, run in, buy, run out and pray a vigile doesn't happen to pass by when you are gone.... oooops

So, what can I say about this place? You can watch them make…read morethe mozzarella! And it is good. Actually, everything I've tried here has been quite good. The mozzarella from the Milan supermarkets doesn't compare (but I have found some decent options). This shop offers the first ricotta that I've liked in my whole life! Now I know what it is supposed to taste like. Maybe since I am from the US, you might think this is no big deal. Just to give you some perspective, my Italian friend who now lives in Paris told me this is the place for cheese. When she visits, this is where she has to shop. No doubt there plenty of other good places in Milan. This one is definitely on the list and worth the trip.
