Marchesi 1824: A sweet taste of History

A trip to Milan without a stop at Marchesi 1824 would be crime! This historic pastry shop has been delighting locals and visitors since, well, 1824! Known for its artisanal sweets, luxurious chocolates, and beautifully crafted pastries, Marchesi captures the heart of Milan’s culinary heritage. As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by the inviting smell of freshly baked panettone, delicate éclairs, and cannoli that melt in your mouth. Picture yourself sipping a smooth cappuccino while enjoying a perfect pastry—an experience so quintessentially Italian, you won’t want to leave. This is the perfect blend of history and flavour, wrapped in the elegance of an old-world charm.

Da Zero: Pizza that packs a punch

If there’s one food that screams Italy, it’s pizza. At Da Zero, you’re not just eating a slice—you’re tasting the spirit of Naples right in the heart of Milan. With ingredients sourced fresh from local farms, Da Zero’s pizzas are crafted with the utmost respect for tradition. The dough is chewy, the crust perfectly charred, and the toppings? Oh, they’re nothing short of divine! Picture San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella so creamy it melts into the dough, and fresh basil leaves that add the perfect finishing touch. Whether you’re a pizza purist or love to experiment, Da Zero offers a masterclass in pizza-making, making every bite a celebration of Italian craftsmanship. Mangia!

B Cafe: Chic, contemporary, and oh-so-cosy

Located in one of Milan’s bustling neighbourhoods, this sleek and chic café offers a refreshing break from all your sightseeing and shopping. Need a caffeine kick? Their espressos will perk you up, while the array of light bites and healthy options give you the fuel to power through the day. Or, if you’re feeling indulgent, treat yourself to one of their rich meals—from flavour-packed paninis to decadent pastas that are as much a feast for the eyes as for the stomach. B Cafe is all about relaxing in style, soaking in the city’s energy, and savouring every moment—just like a true Milanese.
