Great Italian dishes despite the touristic area: Restaurant Vetusta Insigna (9. July 2020)
Finding a decent restaurant in a touristy place like Navigli is not really easy – however, somehow I managed to find exactly that. The Vetusta Insigna has small tables right next to the canal and if you’re lucky enough, you get a table there which is, admittedly, very tiny in terms of space but it […]
The place would be perfect if there wasn’t glass in my dessert: Restaurant La Cantina di Manuela (24. November 2018)
The evening started so well with “tortelli’s pasta stuffed with pumpkins on blue cheese cream and chestnuts” (EUR 12.00) which was absolutely mouth-watering. The stuffing was rich, full of flavour, and just absolutely perfect! The pasta was perfectly al dente and just made you happy. The journey continued the same way when I was enjoying […]
The perfect location to warm yourself up in the middle of the navigli area: Felix Navigli Bar (24. November 2018)
While walking along the navigli, I decided to take a short break and enjoy a “double espresso” (EUR 2.00) and a “Club Sandwich Il Milanese (salame milano, salsa tartara, formaggio edamer, insalata)” (EUR 6.00) which was functional, tasty, perfect to warm yourself up and fill your stomach. The place itself is tiny really but there […]
Decent average breakfast: Restaurant h club @ Sheraton Diana Majestic (24. November 2018)
As every time I am here, the breakfast at the h club is quite decent. You find a bit of everything starting from honey and jam … … to yogurts, milk and cereals … … cheese … … cold cuts … … more cold cuts and salmon … … tomatoes and mozzarella balls … … […]
Great Italian dishes a bit hidden away: Trattoria Trombetta (23. November 2018)
The Trattoria Trombetta is hidden away so a bit tricky to find. Once you’ve found the entrance though, they make sure you’re welcomed in a very comfortable manner. There is a little waiting area until your table is ready and once you’re seated the waiter attends you right away. I went for the “Risotto Milanese […]
Outstanding dishes where you wouldn’t expect them: Restaurant Al Pont de Ferr (10. September 2016)
While I was a student in Milan some years ago, I was definitely not aware that the Navigli had fancy restaurants – well, despite the fact that it does not really look much fancy from the outside, the dishes were actually great. After having placed the order, they served a small amuse bouche as a […]
Lovely natural ice cream flavours: Gelateria Grom (10. September 2016)
We originally wanted to pay our back then favourite ice cream store, Cioccolati Italiani, a visit! However, as it was closed due to renovation (respectively “preparing itself for the future”), we ended up going to Grom. I always liked Grom but was never an explicit fan. However, I must say if you get “Caramelo al […]
Amazing coffee place – with some ice cream: Gelateria Toldo (10. September 2016)
One of the loveliest places to have a double espresso in style I have been to! While you would not necessarily expect to find a small gem when walking by as the outside of the place does not look too appealing, the inside is totally different. The Gelateria Toldo is also a small bakery which […]
