Il Noble is one of the more expensive options in the region, but certainly not unreasonable compared to what you would eat in the UK or Paris for the same money.

Noble choice's in Monza
If your heading the forthcoming Grand Prix in Monza, you wont go far wrong in having a bite to eat in the main City of Monza Brianza. There are many quality eateries in Monza centre, but one certainly regarded as one of the best in the centre is Il Noble. This stunning venue is located next to a small series of bridges and waterfalls in the centre and is beautiful, yet understated from outside. Inside is a different thing all together, beautiful food, an amazing courtyard venue and a great atmosphere.

Bars in Milan
Milan like most major Cities has many places to drink, and previously I mentioned about Sempione for an array of cafes, eateries and restaurants.
One of the other cool, but better known districts is 'Corso Como' which has become famous because of it's namesakes shop and restaurant '10 Corso Como'. The pedestrianized street is full of fantastic shops, bars, cafes, restaurants and located next to Garibaldi metro and train station.
It is quite expensive to eat and drink on the main street, but it's certainly worth indulging yourself for a cocktail in '10 Corso Como' courtyard.
This area has changed beyond all recognition since eleven years ago when I first visited this street. But it certainly is worth visiting.

Pizzeria in Milano
Milan is brimming with Pizzerias, making it difficult to choose the best place to visit as they all have so many styles and specialties. Due to the volume of choice it's probably worth suggesting different eateries for different moods and occasions.
One of my favorite Pizzerias would a small Neapolitan chain called 'Anema e Cozzie' there are a good few around Milano, my favorites been on 'Via Pietro Orseolo' near Parco Solari or 'Corso Sempione'
The service is always good and the bases are excellent, light and fluffy and it is very reasonably priced compared to the likes of Pizza Express or ask in the UK. Most of the Pizzas are around eight to ten euro and pretty big, so be careful unless you suffer with a huge appetite.
Anema e Cozzie always offers great quality food, and specialize in Seafood in typical Neapolitan style.
For Pizzerias 'Anema e Cozzie' is good for families or couples dining out, although as a couple, Navigli is less family, and generally more of an adult environment due to it's bustling location.

Marchesi. A great cafe in Milano
In past posts I have mentioned a few coffee houses around the City, and Marchesi is another one which is more than worth a mention.
Marchesi is a very traditional Pasticceria based within walking distance of Duomo on the junction of Corso Magenta. Marchesi has been in existance since 1824 and has an Italian resemblance to the UK Tea rooms of Betty's in York and Harrogate.
The interior still has the original dark wood fittings, and the staff wear the demure traditional uniforms 'the coffee is to die for' it has a warm atmosphere, and is exceptionally well priced. The prices are around 4.50 - 4.80 euro for two coffees and two brioche.
If you enjoy savoring the traditional Italian experience, Marchesi is certainly worth a visit.

Brera, Milano. Italy
Within a short walk of the historic buildings near Duomo and La Scala, is the area of Brera. This part of town is the picture postcard district of Milan in my opinion, and is blessed with beautiful cobbled streets.
Brera is home to lots of Independent retailers, restaurants and businesses and simply is stunning to walk around.
It is easy to get to on foot from Duomo, Lanza Metro or the tram (which there are many of) but I would certainly recommend walking around if you can.
Walking from Moscova to Brera in the direction of the centre would be my suggestion, starting from Moscova Metro I would walk up Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi. There is lots of bars, eateries and stores along the way, but follow the street across the junction towards Brera.
The majority of the businesses are hidden down small back streets, but if you go down where the Mozzarella bar is located, your on the right path.
One of my favorite places to eat around there is the 'Rossa di Brera' Stunning traditional Italian food in a great setting and with seating in the Piazza next to the church. Located off Via Fiori Chiari.

Great Places to visit in Milano
Milan is a huge City with millions of inhabitants. Like all major Cities around the World, Milan is split into many areas, the main and most popular is the historic centre around the Duomo cathedral and Sforza Castle.
Outside of the historic centre is many diverse districts, the closest being 'Corso Sempione' which a major avenue leading to the edge of the main central park of 'Parco Sempione'.
At the top of the avenue is Arco della Pace, the 'Arche de Triomphe' of Milan, and was in fact built under Napoleons rule, and started the connection of a route from Milan to Paris which still exists today.
Under the shadows of the Arch is a contingency of cool and traditional bars and restaurants that come in all shapes and sizes.
From a Friday onwards this area is non stop, with locals and a few tourists eating and drinking from five o'clock onwards.
It's easy to reach the area by jumping on the tram from near the Duomo.

Eating out in Milan, Monza and Pavia
Milan is awash with excellent eateries, bars and cafes. No matter where you go or turn to there is an excellent choice of places to eat.
As with most big Cities the most expensive places to eat are around the tourist areas of Duomo, Castle Sforzesco and Via Dante. This is not to say that their aren't good places to eat, just generally expensive compared to other places in Milan. Duomo, Via Dante are great places to sit and people watch, but drinks usually come at a premium in most bars around those areas, generally costing around 8 euro for a large beer.
If you move onto some of the back streets of the historical centre around Duomo you'll find some good places to eat and one or two quite bad ones trying to take advantage of the non to clued up tourists.
A great place to try around the historical centre is 'Princi' located on, Via Speronari within a few hundred metres from the end of Duomo square. Usually it costs me 2.20 -2.50 euro for a coffee and brioche (Lovely environment). There are also other branches around Milan, but the Duomo branch is beautiful.
