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!

We were in the area to check out the nearby museum and decided to come for a light breakfast. It is…read morevery chaotic if you come on a weekday morning because there are several offices in the area, with the staff getting their morning espressos and drinks before work. If you are a regular and have it figured out, it seems to work. However, with a language barrier and being the first time here, we needed some time before we could figure out the system. There was no clear menu at the cashier, no staff to ask or a flow to follow. Everyone just seems to mill around and try to catch the attention of the servers behind the bar. If it takes a minute for you to order at the cashier, you get the distinct feeling that you are in the way and holding up the world behind you. Once we finally ordered blindly, the got our items it was a lot more relaxed. There are plenty of small and large tables, providing more than enough seats since everyone was drinking at the counter and leaving. Be forewarned that tea is ALOT more expensive than any coffee based drink. Like multiple times more expensive. Food was okay, it was enough to start the day but nothing spectacular. For the price of the items, I would much rather go somewhere less chaotic.

People have told me many things about God Save The Food…read more They were all mixed reviews. Some liked it, some said it was overrated. Well I just had to try it for myself. Love the entrance because it's automatic. WHOO HOO! The interior is super cute, reminds me of a cafe in New York City. LOVEEEE! It was a little bright thought but then again, I was half awake and in need of coffee. I was a little disappointed in the size of the americano. I thought I would get a HUGE cup of Joe like I would at Tizzy's. I had to order two but that still was not enough, but it was only 1 euro. I tried pancakes because I wanted breakfast even though it was lunch time. I didn't even bother looking at anything else on the menu. It came with two thin pancakes and fruit. I loved the fruit but I wished the pancakes were thicker and fluffier. There was no sitting fee. YAY! My pancakes was 10 euros and each cup of americano was 1 euro. So it was a well spent 12 euros. Service is excellent, the place is clean and very modern. I will come again to try the other food and do a review update till then you should totally give this place a try!

We got the last table outside in front of the restaurant - inside, it was a full house. Adorable place and friendly - if a bit harried - service. Well, I was right - this was one of the top two versions of amatriciana pasta we have ever had! And my carbonara was textbook perfect, too. We had ordered a veal Milanese, as well, but then the heavens opened up. Thankfully, we were full, as we had to abandon our plates and huddle under the awning with everyone else! They quickly filled up with rain. We cancelled the veal with plans to return. Marvelous!

Everything was really delicious, with top quality ingredients, and prepared with care. The Carbonara was surprisingly delicious, with a creamy texture and crunchy guanciale. Arrosticini di agnello were delicious too. The tiramisù was average, good but not the best tiramisù around, not worth it in my opinion. Coffee was not the best either. Anyway the food was amazing, so we were happy. Recommended!

The salmon was blackened nicely, the accompanying wild rice and veggies were seasoned. The pastries were fresh and crisp. It wasn't anything overly impressive but we got our food right away and it was like €9 for the bowl and €3.5 for the pastry. Pricey for the tiny pastry but the location at the train station can't be beat!

As a coffee snob, I thought California Bakery served one of the most delicious, perfectly dialed-in espressos in Italy. The cappuccino was delicious. Worth a visit!

They have approximately 40 plus tables for full capacity. There are tons of stuff on the menu. It reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory menu. I ordered the scrambled eggs with toast and fresh cut fruit and it tasted awesome. This place is another local favorite and I think on both occasions we and another table were the only tourists as most tables were occupied by Milanese folks. We didn't get to try any of the desserts as we went pretty early in the morning but I bet you they most probably were excellent too. 5 star breakfast spot in the central Milan area. Would recommend going there once on your trip to Milan.

I forgot the name of the round airy pastries filled with custard. Wow I'd take a flight just to have them.

I walked out forgetting to grab my huge order. I made it back about 40min later. The bakers had my bag to the side and safe for me. I can't wait to make it back

Sometimes that's bad when I know that the items will disappoint but I am craving sweets. These items were all very good but I just don't typically eat this type of baked good, so you could just taste the sugar in them. I felt the prices were reasonable and the items were very moist and had good flavor. My husband got a slice of pizza that had artichokes, tomatoes and ? - it is a thicker crust but was very good. We also grabbed a pear cake - very moist but too sweet for me. A chocolate tart - good but again sweet, he made out and ended up getting my piece too. I also got a pistachio cake slice- way too sweet but ok flavor. We'd go back and their juice and coffee selection looked good. If you are american, this looked to be a good spot to grab a more "american" style coffee.
