TIME CAFÈ — Restaurant in Milan

Great First Impression…Almost - Time Café, Milano

Time Café was our very first stop after a long 5-hour train ride from Switzerland. We were tired and needed a quick pick-me-up - and this place seemed perfect.

We ordered double espressos that instantly revived us, along with a freshly made piadina that was hands down one of the best we’ve ever tasted. The flavors, the texture, everything was spot on! The café itself has a modern, stylish vibe with that unmistakable Italian touch. It felt like a great welcome to Milano.

Thank you to Franceso, the owner, and Max for letting me practice my badly spoken Italian and for playing Bruce Springsteen once they discovered that I am a huge...

However, my experience was significantly marred by the state of the bathroom. It was disgusting and dirty, which really tainted my overall impression of the place. Unfortunately, because of this, I can't recommend visiting this...
