Bakery Pastry Di Lorenzo Vailati Vailati — Restaurant in Milan

This small bakery is located between Central Station Milan to Corso Buenos Aires street and offers a variety of eye-catching sweets, pastries, and coffee.

When I arrived at 11:00 am, the place was busy but not crowded. While I was there, most of the people sitting there were tourists.

By the time I placed my order, the peak had passed, and I had no problem finding a table inside.

I ordered four small items along with a cup of cappuccino. The total bill was 7.40 euros, which in my opinion is a reasonable price.

The cappuccino was good, but not exceptional compared to the coffee I drank during my trip to Milan.

The highlight was the Sicilian Cassata Cake, a traditional cake from Sicily, Italy, that consists of a round sponge cake moistened with fruit juices or liqueur and layered with ricotta cheese and candied fruit. If you are visiting Italy, I highly recommend you to try it yourself.

The chocolate truffle was the second-best treat. It was dense from the inside and not too sweet, so it is a great choice if you eat it with a cappuccino as I did.

I also enjoyed the raspberry delight, and the least impressive sweet was the one with the nuts coating.

This place isn't a "must-visit" because there are far more unique places in Milan to do each of these things. But overall, I had a good time there.

One little note is that the employee who served me wasn't patient at first. I approached her in English and following that she asked me to wait. Then, she went to serve a lady who spoke Italian, and only then got back...

Il cibo è ottimo, ma il servizio lascia molto a desiderare.

Purtroppo, nonostante la qualità del cibo sia davvero buona, il servizio è stato deludente sotto diversi aspetti. In particolare: • Nonostante siano passati mesi, ancora non accettano i buoni pasto elettronici. Ogni volta la scusa è che “devono aggiornarsi”, ma non sembra esserci alcuna reale intenzione di farlo. • Il personale, o meglio una specifica dipendente (signora con capelli corti tinti di biondo, occhiali e poche lentiggini), si è dimostrata estremamente scortese e maleducata. Il suo atteggiamento è stato scontroso e infastidito non solo con noi, ma anche con altri clienti. Dovrebbe svolgere un ruolo che non preveda il contatto con il pubblico, data la totale mancanza di cortesia e professionalità. • Un esempio lampante: ho chiesto se fossero in arrivo le brioche alla crema, dato che avevo sentito qualcuno nominarle. La risposta, con tono seccato, è stata: “C’è quello che vedi”, indicando il bancone. Dopo nemmeno cinque minuti, però, sono uscite proprio le brioche alla crema. Una risposta gentile e informativa avrebbe evitato questa figuraccia.

In conclusione, non tornerò più, nonostante l’ottima cucina, proprio a causa della gestione scadente del servizio clienti e del mancato aggiornamento sui metodi di pagamento. Un...

Have seriously no idea why this gem has 4.3, should be much higher. We went to another bakery lured by a much higher rating, and on our way back peeked inside. Smart move.

My daughter chose the focaccia with olives and I went for sweets and espresso. It was mind-blowing. It's definitely worth the visit, you'll not regret it!

Update: I had to get a second...
