Italian Odyssey

Prosecco in the evening, if we are not careful we could be seduced by this, in fact maybe we should allow ourselves. The top of the bar was full of tempting snacks, courgette fritata, olives, fried bread balls and the like, free if you ordered a glass of something; how could we resist? The prosecco bubbled out of the shallow champagne cups; we felt so refined and somehow almost Milanese, enjoying the banter. We went back for more the next evening and were greeted like old friends.

A birthday cake had been ordered and it was being collected, but before being put in its box it was displayed and everyone let out oooohs and aahs. The house also specializes in the best soft amaretti biscuits. Anyway, if you happen to find yourself in Milan and wish for a prosecco and a nibble, we can heartily recommend Pasticceria Moriondo.
