Panetteria El Prestin del Cantun

Published: October 27, 2009Posted in: FAVORITE FOOD/DRINK, bakeryTags:

Bakeries and Panetterias have been featured in the past, but this place surpasses anything in the city. Once you see this place, you will not be able to walk by or be in the vicinity without stopping. They sell pizzettas and pomodoro focaccia made up of fluffy soft bread that are amazing. They have breads and sweets and anything carbohydrate fresh out of the oven.

There is not much to say about this Panetteria besides the fact that it is simply awesome. It is a must try!

There are bakeries all over the city in ever neighborhood, and virtually on every corner. There may in fact may be more bakeries than gelaterias in the city and they are all enticing when you walk by.

Everybody has their favorites, but if you are up near Cadorna Station, you must stop by Pane e… forneria on thecorner of Piazzale Luigi Cadorna.

They have these amazing soft pretzels, selection on fresh breads and focaccia that is just awesome. For a quick lunch or for a snack for the train, this is a must try place!

Princi Bakery

You will always see tons of people at the Princi up by the Moscova subway station. It is always packed during lunch or on the weekends for a reason- the bread is awesome. They have a very large sitting area outside where you can enjoy anything from a cappuccino and brioche to a sandwich or focaccia.
Basically it is a stylish bakery that is popular for lunch any day of the week. If you are heading up to 10 Corso Como this weekend or for a walk down Garibaldi, stop here for lunch. Although there are tons of dining establishments nearby, it’s worth a visit to Princi- at least for a light lunch or snack.
There are a few locations in the city, but the one up at Moscovo is pleasant on the weekend. Tel: 202 6599013

Alto Adige Delicatessen

Published: September 29, 2009Posted in: bakery, lunchTags:

Finding a lunch spot around the duomo that is good food at a fair price is sometimes a challenge. Forget the “pizza” or overpriced salads at one of the outdoor cafes. If you want a quick lunch, or a really good sandwich, head over to Alto Adige in Piazza Santa Maria Beltrade, right off Via Torino.

Alto Adige is the region of South Tirol- the only German speaking region in Italy with a strong Austrian influence. This Alto Adige Delicatessen in Milan bring all the foods from that region here – from Bretzel to strudel to Teewurst.

They have a wide selection of cakes, pastries, and fresh breads. In addition, they have a selection of meats that they slice fresh for you. So you can pick your bread, pick you meat and take it to go or sit in the square to enjoy. Not a unique concept, but here in Milan, it is hard to find a place that will make you a sandwich aside from prosciutto crudo and prosciutto cotto.

There is a lot of options here to choose from, but the women working behind the counter are so friendly, and the food is delicious. Even if you are not in the mood for a sandwich, stop in for some bread to take home or a pastry and Café.

They have a few locations- check the website, but the one near the duomo is quite convenient. Beware that it gets quite busy during lunch!
