Where to Eat Street Food In Milan

In Milan, Luini is an institution in itself. Located just a stone’s throw from the Duomo, this gourmet shop serves some of the best ‘panzerotti ‘ (small folded fried pizza dough stuffed with cheese, tomato, or different ingredients) in town from 1888. Locals and visitors alike love intertwining a business meeting or a pause from one shop to another with a quick stop in discovery of Luini’s flavours, both in their savoury or sweet version. Either you opt to go for a traditional tomato and mozzarella combination or for seasonal ingredients, you will be spoilt for choice.

Those who feel curious to satisfy their lunch crave with a light and nourishing delicacy from Japan should definitely try the newly opened Maido. Located under the shade of Arco della Pace, this cosy small restaurant serves cartoon-like delicacies from the Far East such Okonomiyaki, is sort of savoury pancake cooked on a griddle and traditionally served at festivals and events, accompanied by miso soup and traditional drinks. All creations by Maido can be savoured in the restaurant or on the go.

It is true that lasagne are not by tradition one of Milan’s main recipes, though truth be told that the new concept of a takeaway portion of smoking hot lasagne to eat on the go is. At Sorry Mama, indeed, guests can choose among four variations, ranging from the traditional ragout, béchamel and parmesan lasagna or other tasty creations with pistachio sauce or vegetable topping, prepared in a welcoming atmosphere and wrapped on an on-the-go friendly packaging, for a real feel-at-home experience even for those who are in a hurry.

Nestled in an intimate shop a few steps away from the trendy Corso Como district, Sciatt à Porter offers those who have always wished of tasting mountain specialities but have too little time to plan a quick getaway the chance to savour specialities from the Valtellina. From ‘sciatt‘, traditional buckweat croquettes stuffed with Casera cheese, to ‘pizzoccheri‘ – buckweat pasta with butter, cheese, cabbage and potatoes – every delicacy is ready to be eaten while strolling throughout the city.

The first Italian fast food restaurant with seafood sandwiches: in fact, fish, whether cooked or raw, is the protagonist of this good and sustainable cuisine. The success of this union between Apulia and Lombardy lies in the perfect mix of quality fresh fish and the best of Apulian tradition and haute cuisine. Born from the initiative of entrepreneurs from Polignano a Mare, today Pescaria defines itself as plastic free and boasts of having practically eliminated food waste with efficient logistics management.

Fish and chips in not the only street food based on fried fish. If you need evidence to prove it, head to Il Kiosko, in the vibrant Navigli district. This fish shop located along the Darsena basin directly sells freshly caught fish and mixed fried seafood and crustacean cooked on the spot and rolled in a takeaway paper packaging, to enable its guests to savour top-quality delicacies even if you’ve run out of time.

Mention street food and for sure burgers will soon come to your mind. When it comes to taste, not every whim is the same: Ham Holy Burger was born according to this idea, offering its guests tasty gourmet creations conjuring up top-quality meat sourced in Italy with controlled-origin ingredients such as sun-dried tomatoes, provola cheese, olives paté to mention but a few. Every burger can be booked at the table of one of the three restaurants throughout the city with an efficient i-Pad system and eaten on the spot or on the go.

In Via Spadari, Milan’s ‘taste street’ that is a reference point for many gourmets, this restaurant was created to offer simple, healthy and genuine street food, but above all 100% Italian. The 70 square metre premises evoke the shops of yesteryear, those with the beautiful hams hanging, the cheeses in full view, the smell of freshly baked bread. The format is that of the Ciro Amodio Group, a leading brand in Campania for the production of dairy products and cured meats since 1825. This Italian-style snack is not only a tasty snack, but also a complete meal, created on the basis of three quality ingredients: buffalo milk mozzarella, fresh bread made with sourdough and high quality cold cuts.
