Per Te, Monza, Italy

Sitting at the crossroads of Via Bergamo and Vittoria Emanuelle on the edge of Monza city centre, Per Te is a coolly designed and spacious place to either relax for lunch or an aperitif around tea time with friends.
Per Te is one of a new wave of eateries to crop up in Monza centre and has a similar feel to a British bar or cafe with a mish mash of old tables and chairs against an industrial concrete background. Upon entering the building you'll be faced with a bar and counter area full of pateries ranging from a good old fashioned Italian brioche to a lovely big but light "Krapfen" or doughnut as we know them in the UK or States to accompany your early morning coffee.

Apart from pastries "Per Te" offer a wide range of breakfasts from around the world. If its later in the day "Per Te" has a great choice of seafood dishes, pasta dishes as well as meet dishes. To finish off your meal you must try one of Per Te's amazing deserts which are certainly a specialty along with there home baked breads. Evenings are a little more lively than the day time and the selection of wines on offer are part of Per Te's charm with a large variation of whites and reds on offer from all across Italy.

Per Te is certainly a place to visit whilst in Monza, just check out there Tripadvisor score!

Pistacchiodo Gelateria, Monza

Pistacchiodo gelateria is an independent ice cream parlour located only two minutes away by foot from  Monza's central train station in the small residential piazza Indipendenza. Pistacchiodo is a hidden gem of a gelateria with friendly staff and an excellent range of ice creams, granitas, frapes, ice lollies and crepes in the cooler months. They even make whole semifreddo cheesecake-style cakes to take away for special occasions.

In the summer months the counter is frequently covered in fresh melons, strawberries and oranges,  underlining the freshness and quality of the ingredients used in all of the ice creams which are prepared  on site. All of Pistacchiodo's delicious flavours are produced according to the season, and the quality is always excellent.

Bars in Monza, Italy

Like most Towns and Cities around Italy, Monza is blessed with lots of eateries, bars and a pub or two!
Monza is a beautiful City, and is much bigger than first impressions. Most of the places to visit are in and around the Centre, but just across the river on Via Bergamo, to the east of the City is a great venue called 'Turne'. The place has a bit of an English feel to it, and is multi venue bar with live bands often playing and a cool little Bistro on the other floor.
It instantly felt quite cozey when I walked in and the staff were really nice. The prices are really reasonable, and as previously mentioed a lovely feel to the place with a great courtyard at the back.

Worth a visit!
