Gelateria Rinomata, Milano

Rinomata is a beautiful traditional gelateria sculptured with dark wood and copper fittings inside, and is situated on the corner of Navigli, adjacent to the canals.
Amongst many things 'Rinomata' is one of the oldest gelaterias in Milan and hugely famous, but for me and many other customers the crepes are really worth making a visit for. No matter what time of year it is people wait in their droves to get inside and especially in the winter months.
The nutella and ice cream crepes are fantastic, but their is lots of options to choose from.

Naviglio, Milano

If your not 100% percent familiar the Navigli area in Milan, it's somewhere certainly worth checking out.

Navigli is a small district made up of a few canals, that now is bustling with bars, eateries and indie shops. Originally it used be full of manufacturing businesses and dying houses for the clothing industry, but it still retains some of it's original charm and charisma.
The first time I ever went to the area was back in 2001, and it had a few businesses cropping up and the feel of a new Soho, like London and New York. Now it's a famous area to visit with the Milanese, and obviously the occasional tourist.

Certainly worth a trek down to the south of the city, but make sure you leave yourself all night as you can't walk two metres without stopping at another bar, eatery or cool little store!

Easy to get to by the Metro, train or tram. 'Porto Genova'

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.
