Tourist Must
Terrazza Duomo 21
@avaabreu
the best rooftop views of Duomo! If you order cocktails for 20 euros, make sure to ask for the complementary appetizers/tapas. It is the best photo location, and the drinks were good too, I recommend the Jolly Rodger

The Dome Milano | Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar
@avaabreu
On top of the Gucci building and across the block from Duomo, and let me tell you, it has such a good view. Plus drinks and meals are much cheaper than Duomo 21 for a slightly further yet equally beautiful view. It has two floors the rooftop on the 7th floor and a beautiful indoor dining area on the second or third floor.

Zog
@avaabreu
A great bar in the heart of Navigli, which is as eccentric as it is charming. The decor is brick walls with oddly edited photos, and the chairs are mismatched and complimentary. The drinks were all really reasonably, priced and quite tasty (all named after different ice cream brands as well, which is quite adorable).

The Spirit
@avaabreu
This bar is amazing and you can experience the charm of Porta Romana. It is a hole in the wall exterior, but the inside is much larger with a beautiful bar, velvet seats, and jazz music in the background. The drinks are on average 15 euro, but they come with complementary snacks like nuts and olives. I will definitely become a local at this bar. The vibes are just too good.

Marlà Pasticceria
@avaabreu
This is an Amazing Instagrammable cafe with a wide range of priced pastries. Some little things are worth 1.5 euros, and some are worth near 15 euros. Either way it is super cute, and worth a visit. Def worth a visit because the pastries and drinks were delicious :)

Bottega Sicula
@avaabreu
Amazing Service! This is a seafood restaurant where everything is caught daily and the menu (also available in English) is caught daily and everything else is made in house. Because everything is so fresh, you are able to customize dishes and switch out fishes too.

Italians close your ears please… this is the best NYC style pizza I’ve had in Italy, it has the classic large slices and with fluffy crust and good sauce! Plus it’s sold slice by slice so it’s really cheap for good quality!

Kama
@avaabreu
Fresh and Delicious! Warning though, if you don't eat everything there is a 5-10 euro charge per dish, so definitely watch what you order. My friends and I were fighting for our lives cause we over ordered and were full with 30 pieces left on the table.

A great study cafe with free wifi and two floors to study. They will let you stay for a really long time as long as you are not there during lunch/dinner rush, and even then if there is space on the second floor you can be there.
