- Pizza Rossa
Pizzetta con Mozzarella
Also very good, but I prefer the red one. Still, it's a great pizzetta.
Lingua con Acciughe e Olive
This is the kind of thing you come here for — crunchy, savoury, with anchovies and olives. It's unbeatable, even better than most places in Rome.
- Focaccia
Fagottino di Mela
I took an apple turnover — it was cold, not bad, but maybe a bit too sweet with the whole apple inside. I wouldn't come here for the pastries.

An incredible bakery-café-pastry shop that makes the best low, crunchy Roman-style pizza I've found in Milan, better than 90% of bakeries in Rome. Everything is perfect, from the dough to the baking.
Dishes mentioned
Pizza Pomodoro Acciuga e Basilico
This is Roman-style pizza, a Roman tongue. It gives an idea of how beautiful it is, how well baked. It's low and crunchy. I come to Milan and find the low, crunchy pizza better than most of what they make in Rome. Black olives from the jar, but with this dough and baking you can put anything on it, it's a pleasure to eat this pizza.
Pizzette con Cipolle
How can you not take the one with onions, especially when you see the onions on top cooked so well. These are the low, crunchy pizzette of Rome. No comment.
- Pizza con Patate
Girella Prosciutto Olive Formaggio
Perfect baking, perfect dough. No comment.
Pane alle Olive
They don't skimp on ingredients in these Milanese bakeries. Look at the stuff coming out of these ovens.
