Via Albertini Milan

Small, cozy, green, cool

Francesca from Milan

About me Despite my ID card proudly exhibiting four (!!) first names - an unfortunate joke from the registry office - I'm usually just called Francesca. As a child, I wanted to be an architect and then, by chance, I became an architect for real. I love playing tennis, I love animals and I love books. Most of all, I have to admit, I love food! I think cooking is one of the best ways to take s...
""Via Albertini" connects via Canonia with the better known and popular Via Paolo Sarpi, the current place to be. I love coming with my loved ones here..."

Via Albertini is a kind of plug that puts in communication Via Canonica with the better known and popular Via Paolo Sarpi, currently a “place to be” in the Milanese nightlife. What makes via Albertini so special for me is exactly this strategic position and its particular nature: “almost but not entirely” could be its motto. Large and comfortable but not dispersed; pedestrian, but very easy to get to; hidden but not private or unknown. Here I have had very specials afternoons, lunches, aperitifs and after-dinner hours with the people I love. An exquisite pizza at Fofò’s dehors under the trees, a super drink at SottoSotto, some tapas at Recreo Bar or just a beer at BeLocale.

This little path is like a little magician’s tool: able to satisfy almost every one of my stomach’s desires at almost any hour of the day and night. I like to get there by walking with my dog, especially on spring and summer days, and then enjoy some time in the open air, feeling like a theatre spectator and watching the Milanese “movida” that runs along this super lively neighborhood.

Milan Spotter Francesca

About me Despite my ID card proudly exhibiting four (!!) first names - an unfortunate joke from the registry office - I'm usually just called Francesca. As a child, I wanted to be an architect and then, by chance, I became an architect for real. I love playing tennis, I love animals and I love books. Most of all, I have to admit, I love food! I think cooking is one of the best ways to take some time for yourself, and also an opportunity to test yourself. I’m even convinced that cooking traditions are very important for every culture, therefore also an occasion for learning more about the...

Frizzi & Lazzi

Your favorite beer garden ever

"Frizzi & Lazzi" is one of my old-time favorite beer gardens in Milan. It's an unassuming, easy-going place that has become a point of reference since '82.
