10 Corso Como Café

When you need a break from the cutting-edge fashion at Milan’s first glamorous lifestyle shop, 10 Corso Como, stroll across the small courtyard to 10 Corso Como Café. Over lunch recently, sparrows flitted from table to table in a setting of mostly black-and-white furniture and linens, making the atmosphere feel like one out of an art film commissioned by Miuccia Prada. The guests tended to eat like birds as well—a colorful selection of crudités was delivered to every table, and the organic salad and pasta dishes were delicious but served in very small portions. The best time to come is around 6 p.m. for the aperitivi scene. You can also stay here at the upscale bed and breakfast, 3 Rooms.
