A PLACE CAN NOT BE MORE OVERPRICED! On the main bar street, this garden seemed inviting, beause it looked very cozy (we were not the only people fooled by the "secret garden" vibes to step inside). We were seated down at a small unsteady table with plant leaves hanging over the table and into our faces and were very quickly served the appetisers (simple cheap potato chips and overly salty almonds). It was very clear that they were so fast with serving to make me feel like I had to stay, even though seeing the menu prices made me want to stand up immediately. They did every little trick to make it psychologically dificult to leave.
As the menu prices were fairly high, we thought that maybe they were a coctail-oriented place and make amazing unique drinks. So we decided to stay and give them a try. My partner ordered a cappuccino(that wasn't even mentioned in the menu handed to us, and had to be asked from the waiter) and I ordered a limoncello-based coctail.
The cocktail was 15€ and cappuchino 5€. I get it, it doesn´t seem too pricy, but when you see the sizes of the drinks, you´ll get it. I felt like every sip I took costed me 3€. In addition to being THE TINIEST coctail, it was decorated with a sloppily-cut slice of lemon, which surprisingly gave no taste to the coctail itself. The cappuccino was small even compared to a regular cappuccino, and had a burnt taste.
After politely drinking both our drinks, we spent a few minutes trying to catch the attention of our waiter (the place was so busy that at some point one big table next to us was separated into four smaller tables), asked for the check and left.
In conclusion: If you want to spend a small fortune drinking bad cocktails - This is THE place! Only upside is feeling like a giant when you hold the tiny...
Read moreA Hidden Gem in the Heart of Milan – 10 Corso Como
Located in the central part of Milan, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and bars, 10 Corso Como stands out as a truly unique and charming destination. It’s not just a place to grab a coffee or browse – it’s an experience.
The space is beautifully designed, with a stylish and artistic atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a different world. The bar is especially adorable – the decoration and interior design are stunning, carefully curated with artistic flair.
Yes, the prices are above average, but you’re paying for much more than just food and drink – you’re paying for the ambiance. The breakfast was pleasant: the cappuccino was decent, and the croissant was fresh and tasty. But what really makes this place shine is the environment.
Upstairs, there’s an ever-changing art gallery featuring rotating exhibitions of contemporary works. The collection is always fresh and inspiring. They also have a fantastic selection of artistic books and curated items that art lovers will appreciate.
Whether you’re stopping by for a light bite, exploring the gallery, or simply soaking in the aesthetic vibes, 10 Corso Como is a great spot to spend a few hours. It’s a must-visit if you’re in Milan – full of creativity, beauty, and atmosphere.

Read moreThis is a beautiful curated store with high end fashion brands. Connected to the shop is a beautifully decorated cafe/restaurant. Some of the staffs (both at the shop and cafe) can sometimes be condescending and hostile but it’s a cute place to spend some time in enjoying a glass of wine or cup of coffee. Please also note the cafe opens at 11am but kitchen opens at noon.
In conclusion, Pretty environment. Up to standard service from staff. Decent food but overpriced.
Environment: The cafe is stunning with plenty of glasses allowing natural sunlight to shine through. There’re also many plants both inside and outside that created an almost “green house” appearance.
Service & Staff: In both the shop and cafe there were certain unwelcoming staffers but during my time dining at the restaurant it was mostly pleasant.
Food & Drinks: I ordered “Tagliolini di pasta fresca al ragú di vitello” (Fresh tagliolini with veal ragoût) for my lunch. The sauce is very flavourful and rich however the veal has completely lost its taste, the meat itself was bland. The pasta was also a bit overcooked that it’s quite soft throughout. Definitely overpriced for its quality. Might be worth mentioning that the cappuccino I had before my meal was very disappointing. Did not expect such foamy, over-steamed...
