| I was keen to try out Tigellas which I had read about on Tripadvisor |
 |
Basically it is a cold cuts board served with "tigelle" which are little round Italian flatbreads and a version of fried gnocchi patties which blow up like little pillows, and lots of dips - including Nutella to finish with LOL! The tigelle are served warm in a paper bag and they can even do gluten free ones. The prices were very reasonable here too and it was very popular with locals.

I put a selection of the meats and cheese on a plate and the tigelle pockets (top) and fried gnocchi patties (bottom) for me are those on the right, the gluten free ones are in the middle photo.
I really enjoyed the food at Tigella's as it was different.

On the day of my cookery class I did not need much to eat as I had eaten what I cooked for lunch. So in the evening before the ballet we found a nice restaurant in the Galleria Vittorio
Emanuele II called Il Gatta Rosso - The Red Cat.
 |
| The cover charge was expensive at €4 but the fantastic basket of artisan breads made up for it, they were all delicious. |
 |
| I had a beautiful pumpkin soup with croutons - just looking at it again is making my mouth water! The restaurant even provided ladies with those handbag hooks to hand on the table - I was impressed! |

The only time I have drunk coffee in
years was in Milan and the hotel
receptionist made this
cute face in my cappuccino!

On my 2nd visit to Milan I found this great pizza place where you
can buy just a slice and a drink for €5.50 and it was perfect
for an informal, inexpensive meal, especially being on my
own and did not always feel like going to a restaurant.
No trip to Italy is ever complete without ICE CREAM!

Some of the gorgeous "coppas" I had from my favourite
gelateria Vaniglia (below)! They were only €5! The middle
bottom one was just a tub of ice cream I got on my way home
from the ballet!
Next time I will report on my cooking classes! Hope you enjoyed seeing some of the lovely food you have in Milan.

Well, I am not sure about my profile...enjoying the marketplace and food posts...well...
ReplyDeleteThere is one thing I would like to say - I used to live in Italy and travel there and my favourite food was always pizza. It was always fantastic in Italy - I guess, when it was not actually perfect, I enjoyed it for my premade conclude that it had to be fantastic, so I enjoyed it :)
Also, I remember the line for ice cream (waiting time about 20 minutes) in an Italian village in northern Italy...ha, I was driving to that little village each day since June till late September. So, you are very right - no travel to Italy is ever complete without ice cream! Can I add pizza too, please ?
