Savory and Sweet Snacks

After your walking and shopping, you might want a quick snack.
For those with a sweet tooth Milan is a real temple of taste. Whether you’re looking to purchase, taste or give as a gift, gourmands in search of culinary variety will be spoilt for choice! You will find chocolates or sweet pastries on sale in one of the many “pasticceria” or “cioccolateria” in the City, while savoury snacks can be tasted in any of the City’s bars or lounge bars .

Gelato

Italian “gelato” is an institution. Despite the homonymy, this mouth watering treat has very little in common with other types of “ice cream” known throughout the world. It is richer in natural sugarsand contains fewer saturated fats. In fact, the cooling process used to make Italian “gelato” is not only quicker but also contains less air. This not only makes it thicker and more creamy but also enhances it taste, giving it a more genuine flavour. Though eaten year-round, in Italy, the height of the ice-cream season runs from May to September. You can either eat it while strolling along the street in the “cone” or “cup” version or while sitting comfortably at a table. Although most restaurants offer “gelato” as a dessert at the end of a meal, the best place to really indulge yourselves is at a classic gelateria.
