If you compare the price, they are almost similar in US. Sometimes they offer discounts or give a nice deal which is hard to resist. Like I said, if I could get everything I want, I would pay extra baggage which defeats the purpose of discounts.

My go to is tiramisu and coconut and I do splurge the extra 1€ to get the cone top filled with melted chocolate. On this trip to Italy I skipped lunch and enjoyed this treat and sat in the piazza to relax and watch the people. The shop is smaller but service is professional and quick. There is a lot of temptation to also purchase a variety of chocolate pieces/bars. Do yourself a favor and give in. You will do enough walking to justify it.

It's situated next to the best designers (a close walk to Chanel, for instance) and while the service was a bit cold, they were efficient and didn't rush us.

We also got the pistachio and chocolate marizottis - I loved the chocolate one. Decor inside is beautiful and I loved their seating area - each table had a small bud vase of fresh peonies.

And the place is HUGE, nothing how it looks from the entrance. We had a blast looking at all the crazy things for sale like skittles and m&m flavored drinks and chocolate and coconut scented lotion.

They come in chocolate too and are just as good. If you are spending a day in Milan shopping on Corso Buenos Aries it's right next to the ZARA store. Seriously, sweets lovers, this place is HEAVEN!
