Very worth and a popular spot by Arco della Pace! We first arrived at 18:00 on a Monday and luckily…read morethe good weather meant we could sit outside. 15 euros for one drink and unlimited food - mainly pasta, pizza, dessert, and rice (that could pass for biryani). The best was the spinach ravioli and fracado drink. This was such a good deal!! Very worth it and we totally could have just had dinner here with small plates. By the time we passed by at 21:00, it was popping outside. We did see some flies around the kitchen, by the desserts. Which is why it's not 5 stars.

Only and last recommendation, I will take…read more The area is nice and it seems there are options for the apéritivo hour - many places circling ( the under construction piazza ) what annoys me - I took the trouble to come here on my last day - a complete waste of time . They have a buffet for apertivo - all you can eat always a bad sign - food was not made with any care The Negroni - not made with any care If your someone coming to Milan to experience - good cuisine and drinks even for apertivo - skip this

It's a nice looking place…read more Location (Porta Venezia) is great. Breakfast is good, I should try it for brunch soon (it looked yummy). You can see from a window the chefs in the kitchen baking the things they sell. You can also enjoy a good glass of wine while you seat outside at a small counter. It's pricey though. And some of the staff, not that welcoming and polite I must say, does not speak English.

Not the friendliest staff but the lunch is very delicious. Super light and flavorful dishes! Try…read morethe artichoke pasta or "Caesar" salad!

The best of a night at several bars on the Navigli. Read my profile and my reviews, you'll find…read morethat I am a pretty experienced booze hound. Pinch is a total replica of American hipster craft cocktail bars, in Milan. The bartenders wear suspenders and do tricks with shakers. I'm waiting for an ironic mustache, preferably like the Moretti guy has. The drinks are exceptional. When I was there, they had one made of green tomatoes and mountain pine liqueur that was a taste party in my mouth. The aperitivo snacks are also really excellent, a small tray of various interesting crunchy things. No potato chips -- we're talking samosas in wonton wrappers with sweet chili sauce, Indian curry rice, a ham-arugula roll, and baba ghanoush. My second drink didn't quite match the first, but it was close. Also, the only bar in Milan that gave me *zero* grief about wanting a simple glass of tap water. In fact, they just give you one. Mega bonus points for that. I'm sick of paying for "aqua panna Toscana" that I neither need nor want. Been drinking Milan tap water in my hotel room for four days now. It's fine. Pour it on. Food offerings from the regular menu are a little hit or miss, but on the other hand, I had kind of stuffed myself with aperitivo. Had I been hungry, might've been a different story.

Another perfect cocktails bar in Navigli! And yet I thought this Milanese neighborhood was only…read morefilled with bars with bad & cheap drinks, loud music and greasy aperitivo food (well, there are plenty of bars like that but thankfully not all of them). Pinch is a new bar right in Ripa di Porta Ticinese, not in the pedestrian part of the Naviglio, which means they don't have outside seating - except for the tables at the windows. It has a retro vibe, as if you entered a 1920s bar, dim lights, soft 1920's music; elegant but not ostentatious atmosphere. The cocktails list has about 15 signature cocktails, all with an explanation of the alcoholic level (medium or high), taste (fresh, spicy, bitter, etc.) and of course the ingredients, classic cocktails with a twist, made extremely well, with good ingredients. They also have a food menu but I didn't check it out since we were there for the aperitivo - which then turned into after-dinner drinks. I had the "South of the Border" with tequila, chartreuse vert, lime juice, sugar syrup and fresh mint, it was fresh and delicious, then I had another one and another one... just to be sure they were made perfectly ;) For the aperitivo, our cocktails were 8 euro each and the waiter (who looked like Robert Pattinson) brough a small tray with some snacks: rice and salad in small glasses, chips, mini-sandwiches and a couple of vol-au-vents - not enough to fill our stomachs completely but also not the average greasy aperitivo food. Nice staff, a full bar with quality bottles and clean bathrooms complete the experience. Too bad it's far from my house, but worth the subway trip back!

They have free WiFi that seems to actually work so the spot stays crowded with tourists and locals looking for a spot to hang out, chat, work or just relax. We had a few panini's with our coffee and they were very well presented, with marinated olives and some chip-like crackers. We are definitely fans but I wouldn't say this is the best coffee spot on the planet. The search continues...

I think the decor is great, if you want to grab lunch or come by to read the paper while sipping coffee, this place has plenty of room and a great selection of sweet and savory items. The lunch menu is extensive, with great salad options, seafood dishes or make-your-own-sandwich type of options. The vibe is that of a place serving regional food, selected to give you more options than you can hope for. Even the chocolates are high-end, coming from a chocolatier in Piemonte, and still reasonably priced. My "dose" ran out unreasonably fast, though, but that's a different story. This is a new establishment, they're still ironing out the kinks, but I'm sure you'll have a great time for a quality snack or meal, and when in doubt, the personnel can suggest the best option. Enjoy.

Then this is the place to go! The presentation of the food is magnificant. Sometimes the balance in taste of the food on your plate could be improved, but given the price they ask (about 15€ for starter and the same for the main course as well as dessert, 7€ for a glass of wine) I was really happy!!! Thanks for this experience, I am a fan!
