Luini Panzerotti are the best in northern Italy for sure. You have to check this place out when you go visit Duomo. Its always packed but the wait is worth it, for 2.50 euros you get a delicious hot fried panzerotto with prosciutto, pomodoro and mozzarella.

Il massimo del gelato is the best artisan of ice cream in Milan. They offer over 8 different variations of chocholate and also lots of seasonal fruit tastes. I recommend this place if you are near Castello Sforzesco, its a 20 min walk through the park behind the castle. Overall very enjoyable area of Milan, and the gelato is superb!

Poporoya is my favourite restaurant in Milan. I wen there with my japanese girlfriend and she said is authentic sushi, and the cook is japanese. Don't trust other cheap japanese restaurants where the staff is all chinese and the cook too. I used to go to this place a lot in highschool. After your meal make sure to go for a walk to Porta Venezia park between Bastioni di Porta Venezia and Corso Buenos Aires. Corso Buenos Aires is also very famous for shopping and fashion.

This is my favorite local market. Open Tuesday and Saturday from 8am to 4pm. Right outside M5 stop Isola, the best for economical fresh fruit and vegetables. You can even buy meat and other fresh products at a cheaper price than a supermarket. And the quality is higher too.

Parks & Nature

This park is relatively near the house (20 min walk) and perfect for jogging or just to enjoy nature. The park is really big, with some water courses, small lakes, bowls field, football fields, fountains. There are lots of ancient trees and the fauna of the area is protected and very unique. Is a must if you love nature and want a breath of fresh air, just 20 minutes away from the chaotic and polluted city center.

Parco Sempione This park is right behind Castello Sforzesco. You owe it to yourself to take a peaceful walk in this park. The atmosphere is very cozy and liberating. Also the view from the castle to the Arch of Peace is worth the trip. In the summer I like to go here to relax and sleep on the grass for a while, free of toughts. This is what everybody needs after a while in a chaotic city like Milan.

Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli ("Indro Montanelli Public Gardens") are a major and historic city park in Milan. They are the oldest city park in Milan. Famous for the Natural History Museum (1888–1893) and the Planetarium (1930). Sometimes there are live musical performances in the evening. Beautiful location.

Getting Around

Here you can rent a bike from the municipal service BikeMi (https://www.bikemi.com/en/homepage.aspx) This service is quite handy since you can rent a bike here but leave it in the city center or in any other bike rack of the same kind. The city is quite populated by these places, in an effort from the municipality of Milan to encourage ecological means of transportation.

Drinks & Nightlife

Casa Loca. Quiet and discreet social space. Like nothing you have seen before. Here we call it "centro sociale", its an underground space recovered from a state abandoned property. Its very artistic, but don't expect anything too fancy. Most of the time servers just as a bar/caffe or refectory. Occasionally there is live music. Lots of wall paintings outside, in the internal courtyard and downstairs.

Maga Furla This place is nothing special, but is the best pub in the area. Is really small, but not too crowded. You will always find young people from the university hanging out here, drinking one of the many local beers. In walking distance from the house, I suggest this pub if you feel tired and don't want to go to the more prestigious pubs in the city center.

Birrificio Lambrate English-style, traditional pub with wood-paneled walls & bric-a-brac, specializing in craft beers. This I think is the favorite place for every university studenti in Milan. I have lots of fun memories from this place and no metter how you are feeling, if you go there you will always find amazing young people. The beers make the atmosphere very casual and everybody is very sociable. A good place to make some friends in Milan, even if you don't speak italian.

Monkey Cocktail Bar This is a must if you are a fan of spacial cocktails. They have a very exclusive cocktail menu, like none other in Milan.

You tell him what fruits you like, what spirits, maybe other details of spices and he makes you a cocktail tailored for you. He won't disappoint you, trust me.

Dude Club Best for techno and even house sometimes. Not too big, standard prices for Milan. Does not require booking in advance, but you probably should check their facebook page before going there.

Alcatraz Large events venue & club hosting music concerts, fashion shows, conferences & busy club nights. Right in the hearth of Porta Nuova district, near Corso Como, this nightclub is very chill despite the location. I suggest this if you want to try the typical milanese nightlife location. This place is fun, lots of young people and extremely loud music. Is not for everybody, but the area is wonderful at night so you should take a walk around for sure even if you don't want to go in.
