#122-2016:…read more PULENTINO!!!!!! Need I say more?? REALLY??? OK then... we had just got done celebrating the YELPERS OF THE MONTH (2015 edition) with a lunch with salty crêpes and we needed to top our tanks off with some truly scrumptioulicious decantly calories-filled desserts. "Where should we head?" "I got a pure sweet heaven place and the right sweet orgasmic hot beverage in mind" "ok LET'S GO!!!" We walk to this amazing location and ALL order our PULENTINO (some still having place in their tummies for sweets, ordering zeppole, and little tarts). What is PULENTINO? A mix of orgasmic hot and sweet ingredients, some crema pasticcera mixed with hot cocoa a crunchy little chunk hidden. In the thick liquid..PURE heaven!!! Will I be able to resist the temptation to NOT head on to this amazing place for more sweet amazing adventures.

With the sun finally shining after a weekend of thunderstorms we had been walking in the area when we found this lovely spot. Having had a look at the menu we opted for something which is essence was afogato, well it was coffee and gelato as a drink, with a chocolate rim to the cup and a chocolate dipped spoon! DELICIOUS I had a little croissant with Milano salami to go with it, all in all it was the perfect late morning stop. Now to find this drink in the UK!!!

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.

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.

Il mio gusto preferito è il Gran Torino, una specie di gianduia con granella di nocciole (descrizione che non gli fa giustizia). Oggi non l'avevano e ho ripiegato sul Cremlino Rivareno, ugualmente eccezionale. Arricchito con panna montata poi, la morte sua. Anche il cioccolato, il pistacchio, contessa e altri gusti sono favolosi. Rivareno TOP.

We were able to get a table right away even though it was pretty crowded on a Saturday morning. I wanted to look at the pastries and order there, but the whole process was a little chatoic. I told the woman behind the counter that I was sitting down at a table, and she told me she would hand it to my waiter. After waiting a bit, our waiter had to come back and ask what I ordered, and it seemed like he wasn't able to find it. Eventually he did come back with the correct order, and he was very apologetic about it. We haven't had the best service in Italy, but our server here was amazing! He was so kind and made the experience that much better. As for the pastries, I got the croissant with vanilla cream and the raspberry maritozzo. I wasn't expecting to like the maritozzo because I don't usually like cream puffs, but this one was so different from the ones I've had in the US! The cream was so light and fluffy, and the brioche bread was the perfect accompaniment. The raspberry jam added a nice tart flavor to it as well. Overall, this place gets a little crowded sometimes, but it's a great place to stop by when you're shopping!
