Bar Porto Di Mare — Restaurant in Milan

Absolute insider tip!

Somewhat secluded from all the hustle and bustle of the downtown metropolis Milano, about 10 minutes on the M3 from the Duomo and easy to reach, the Bar Porto di Mare is an absolutely authentic insider tip that goes against the mainstream.

Monday morning. The first regular guests are already standing at the door and waiting to be admitted.

At 7 a.m. sharp, Paolo opens his bar Porto di Mare on Via Giovanni Battista Cassinis 13, 20139 Milano.

He's been in his bar since 6 a.m. baking fresh croissants. Paolo swings over to the espresso machine and conjures up 4 Caffe Doblo and 2 Caffe Macchiato for his guests in no time while his long-time employee sets up the tables and chairs in the small, covered guest garden on the street.

The smell of fresh coffee flows through his small restaurant and transforms even a gray, rainy autumn day into a good-humored start to the day. At lunchtime there is a small selection of hearty, homemade, traditional Italian dishes to suit every palate.

You can feel the passion with which Paolo, his wife and his employees have been running the family business with dedication for 15 years (1992). Hospitality is the top priority here.

In addition to drinks and food, the bar is also a Bar Tabacchi where you can buy tobacco products, stamps, recharge cards, sweets and chocolate.

Even if there is nothing else to do (it is on the way to San Donato, terminus of the M3, a small bazaar), it is always worth a little detour for a fresh croissant with coffee in the morning before starting your tour through the hectic, crowded downtown, or for a traditional, inexpensive lunch in peace. The Bar Porto di Mare adds a positive, authentic touch to the visit to Milan.

An absolute must for those who want to experience true Italian authenticity and hospitability. Highly...

what way to throw out the Italian food culture to the toilet: The pizza was so basic that we not even wanted to take what if left. But the table service and waiters were definitely the worst: throwing the dishes and changing prices of the menu "because they can". The last insult was saying they wanted the bill in cash because they closed the machine, and they kept them...

PESSIMO SERVIZIO. il proprietario (penso) oltre ad essere stato fin troppo scortese e antipatico fin dalla mattina, si è azzardato anche da ridirmi e farmi passare per una pazza per il semplice fatto che non sono riuscita nemmeno a finire un cappuccino che ho chiesto, perché sapeva davvero tanto di latte andato a male e caffè palesemente bruciato. non ho detto niente di male con un tipo anche gentile, quando il proprietario mi ha iniziato ad accusare di essere l’unica pazza a cui non fosse piaciuto il caffè e che era tutta colpa mia. ora, non mi sono lamentata ne ho detto niente di male, ho lasciato il cappuccino al bancone dicendo che non riuscivo a finirlo, NIENTE DI PIÙ. mi ha iniziato a insultare e mancare di rispetto. penso sia ancora aperto solo perché è l’unico bar nei paraggi, ma sono scioccata e basita da quanto successo, di certo non ci tornerò più neanche a pagare. spero il proprietario fallisca, non ha la minima idea di relazioni al pubblico ne di...
