Vy Eats in Milan

Vy Eats in Milan> Finally, I get myself to Italy. And it's beautiful. The food is great. It's very low-key in a lovely way. But first, the plane ride.

Vegetarian pasta. Meh
Breakfast is muffin and fruit
Home base in Milan is the AC Hotel Milano














I land, exhausted. And make my way to the hotel. And nap while waiting for Tai to come. We then trek out to a TIM store to get a SIM card for me. And then, to dinner. At Ristorante Andry.

Crispy octopus and burrata and potato
Risotto Andry
Spaghetti con vongole - Tai finished this whole thing
Panna cotta














It was a great first meal. Portions were way bigger than I anticipated. We had to walk it off after, where we found fancy Starbucks:



Next day for lunch, we try poke and boba at Chateau Dufan. It was okay, would not go again (the poke). Boba was fine.




Some views in the city:



And my favorite, Duomo. Milan's cathedral:


Our first full day, we walked a bit, shopped a bit, and then did a walking tour of Leonardo da Vinci items in Milan, ending at the Last Supper.

After the tour, we walked in the rain, and stopped at at Da Zero for a pizza dinner.

Prosciutto and mozzarella
My half of the pizza














Pizza was great - dough was soft and amazing.

Second full day starts with breakfast at Momo Milano.





My cream thing was not what I expected at all haha. 

Second full day we explore Duomo. You can take the stairs or the elevator to the rooftops - I highly recommend this. It is just amazing up there. The inside is also beautiful, with the stained glass windows. 

Tai's feet are tired and he's grumpy at this point, but I push him to walk a bit more for dinner at Giuliano a Milano. We are the only people here at this point (we eat so early compared to Italians haha), but service is great. We order the seafood pasta for two and it's just so much food. But it's delicious. 







It's our last night and we walk back to Duomo for one last look before leaving the city.






And then it's off to Venice.
