If by any chance you are looking for a cafe where eat and buy delicious Alps food and treats, this…read moreis the place! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and courtesy of the staff. The place really remember me of Italian and Austrian Alps cafes, with typical sweet and savory pastries, grains breads, teas and products to buy. I personally enjoyed an hot herbal tea with a slice of apple strudel, and bought few typical bread balls gnocchi.

This Esselunga is located within a mall, which I have to say is a new one for me, but the location was good for us to walk to and from our apartment and they had a nice variety of items available for purchase. Staff was nonexistent but we were able to find most of what we wanted without any assistance.

Alone for lunch today, so I walked a couple of blocks to the nearby Drogherie Milanese, where I…read moretook a seat at the bar. The Drogherie is part of a chain of "diners" here, and I use the word loosely for fear that some of my American compatriots might think of a Denny's or the local Yonkers diner as an analogy. For today, a glass of Sicilian red is excellent for the Tartare appetizer -- mixed perfectly with eggs, anchovies, and herbs. The Carbonara pasta -- homemade pasta mixed generously and indulgently with egg, parmigiana, pepper, and pancetta is out of this world. In my eager search for culinary disappointments in Milan, I have failed miserably, agai

The pistachio brioche / croissant was divine -- the cream was so rich and flavorful, and the croissant was very generously filled. It was my first time trying sfogliatella and the citrusy ricotta filling was very unique and thick. The service here was pretty good as well; it's a very casual spot where you can opt to stand or sit at a table (table service is 1 euro per person).

So good, that friends and family (all italian) outside of Milano ask us to…read morebring them some, specifically the polpette (meatballs) and cotolette (mini breaded veal cutlets). Whenever I want to make a whole roast chicken I make sure to come here. It's just not the same and my bf can always tell the difference even if I try to fib! Our family loves to use the polpette to make mini hamburgers. Only one of the guys speaks a little English, so I suggest prepping your Italian or better yet grab an Italian to help you. The place is tiny and often has as least a couple people in line, be prepared for a wait of up to 15 mins. Their also pricey and only accept cash. But it's all worth it!

We loved their freshly made food, the sandwiches, risotto, Milanese, salads, & desserts were all great & very REASONABLY priced! 2 items, dessert or side dish, & a drink for only 10.90 euros!

The staff were pretty efficient, but spoke limited English. It's so conveniently located, so you can grab food on your way as you go to your destination by train.
