★★★★★a year agoGreat sandwich shop. It was recommended to us and it did delivered. Very helpful staff found a table quickly, explained what sandwiches are available. Sandwiches were great and tasty. Quickly served. Also pastry and coffee is available. We didn't had a chance to try the pastry but coffee is good. I recommend it 👌

★★★★★2 months agoGreat little spot in Milan with delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere. The pizza was excellent—fresh ingredients, great crust, and full of flavor. Exactly what you hope to find in Italy. The real highlight for me was the red Peroni. Served perfectly cold and paired wonderfully with the pizza. Simple, authentic, and very enjoyable. Friendly service, fair prices, and a great place to stop for a meal and a drink while exploring the city.
