Aperitivo

Known to insiders as the city of Aperitivo, just about every bar in Milan serves drinks at a set price (usually between €8 and €12) from 6p.m. which come with a free buffet. Aperitivo is a huge part of Milanese culture and believe it or not, most people only consider it the prelude to their dinner despite plates being piled high! Try the bars along Navigli or around Corso Como.

LUXOS suggests Fioraio Bianchi in Brera, Lotvs near Corso Como, Straf at the Duomo or Slice in Navigli (Via Ascanio Sforza 9, Milano)
