In Milan, a typical breakfast in a cafe includes a cup of fresh ground coffee and a croissant or a cream pastry. The cafes are crowded with tourists and locals, which makes for the typically Italian busy and loud character of these venues. In the afternoon, you can set out for cocktails or aperitifs, as they’re also served in cafes in Milan; ideal for starting off an evening in the city. More and more venues in Italy are trying to combine various functions, for example the Milan-based Old Fashion Café provides both catering and nightlife entertainment to satisfy the requirements of a larger number of customers – businessmen and tourists in particular.
