My favorite evening in Milan happened on the Alzaia Naviglio Grande, which is a street that runs along a canal. It started out at a place called Bond Bar. Cool worldmusic, comfortable decor and great caipirinhas and mojitos. They serve a lot of free snacks with their drinks, so one could easily make this place the main event. From Bond we moved to Officina 12, which is located #12 Alzaia Naviglio Grande, of course. Great food. I think I had more drinks there and they were good as well…

For more traditional Milanese food I would recommend La Trattoria del Carmine, although it is a little pricey. It is located on a nice piazza in the older part of Milan.

Near the Duomo I like Agnello, a little Pizzeria/Restaurant that has nice food.
