Obika Mozarella Bar (Piazza del Duomo)
La Rinascente
Via Santa Radegonda, 3
Tel. 02 8852453
Based on the Japanese sushi-bar concept, Obika Mozarella Bar offers different varieties of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana Dop (paestum, pontina, smoked, stracciatella di Burrata) and other Italian specialities, salads and pastas. You can even have tastings of home-made mozarella. There are various locations but the one located on the top floor of La Rinascente has a great terrace and an amazing view of the Duomo. A must for mozarella lovers!
Cantina della Vetra

Wine and food bar located on a very nice little piazza. Great food, excellent wine, wonderful atmosphere, and very Italian. Local experience guaranteed!
Fratelli la Bufala
Milano Viale Sabotino, 1A
Tel. 02 58328448
Great spot for pizza located near Bocconi University. Appetizers are great too. Reasonable prices and excellent service. Make sure you save room for desert; the best gelato place in Milan is right around the corner from the restaurant (see below)!
Riva Reno
Viale Col di Lana, 8
Tel. 02 89077147
One of the most talked-about gelato places in Milan. Riva Reno was started by a former BBC journalist, a lawyer, a former car executive and two gelato makers. Very cool and hip decor. I recommend trying one of their specialty ice creams with mascarpone! Located near Fratelli la Bufala.
