Around Duomo, Milan ....

It was one fine Sunday in Milan. The sky was blue, the weather was fantastic and we took a walk around Duomo, went to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II had some Gelato and stroll along via Dante. Wonderful! (Sadly, this was two months ago already!)

Lunch At Cracco Peck, Milano

Peck is one of the most recommended place to go to and to dine in when you go to Milan. It's located just near Duomo, but we had a hard time finding it because the GPS really messed us up.

We checked out their shop, carrying beautiful meats, goodies, cheeses and everything else that I wish I could buy and take them home with me. The restaurant is upstairs and their food is really superb. This was our first time having a meal there and we truly enjoyed every single bit of everything.

The above is amuse bouche provided by the restaurant. 

I had a dish called Piatto Unico Venerdi, which was basically mashed potatoes in the bottom of the plate with Cod fish. I can't remember exactly the description of how the fish was done. But it was really delicious.

 My company had Linguine al pesto above. As a side order for sharing, we had spinach.

We were really full but still attempted to  try their desserts and coffee too.  Fabulous!!

First Gelato In Milan

We did not plan to restrain ourselves from having as many Gelato as we could. We had our first Gelato from Savini in Galleria Vittoria Emanuele II, within the vicinity of Duomo. Savini is one of the oldest restaurants in Milan.They have quite a yummy gelato.

Duomo, Milan

Duomo is a must-see place in Milan. The Cathedral is big and beautiful. It is always crowded and there are always a lot of people hanging around or taking pictures in the Piazza. Duomo is also surrounded plenty of shops, gelato places and restaurants. There are many more places to explore to different corners of Duomo.

L'Angolo di casa, Milan

We had dinner at this place upon the recommendation of our hotel's Concierge. It's located within minutes on foot from where we stayed and it was good, because we were still exhausted from the traveling time and jetlag.  The food they serve didn't make good-looking pictures but they tasted great. The staff there were also accommodating to my company's special requests.

 

We had Fritto Misto  as starter. They were a little bit oily but the seafood was so good!

I had Milanese Risotto with Osso Buco. Delish! I enjoyed every bit of it. 

 DH's tonight's order was his usual Seafood Pasta. I believe it tasted great too.

Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan

Santa Maria delle Grazie is a church in Milan that has been included in the Unesco World Heritage sites list. It is one of the must go places when one visits Milan. Leonardo da Vinci’s 'The Last Supper' is in this church.
