Start the day with Italian pastries at… Pasticceria Cucchi Milano
Founded in 1936, Pasticceria Cucchi Milano is one of the most historical pastry stores in Milan, and has been run by the Cucchi family for three generations. Head down for breakfast and dig into sweet and savoury pastries, such as the Cor’ di Mela, a sweet creation comprising a buttery tart base filled with tangy apricot and bitter orange jam. It’s topped with a nutty almond and citrus crumble, apricot jelly and fresh fruit. Naturally, classic pastries and bakes are also available, including pain di chocolat, buttery croissants, and brioche rolls. A must try is the panettone—available throughout the year, this treat uses the same recipe since 1936, comprising fluffy and buttery sweetbread studded with dried fruit.
