PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Milan's most famous food emporium offers a wonderful selection of roast veal, risottos, porchetta, salads, aspics, cheeses, pastries, and other fare from its exquisite larder in this natty snack bar around the corner from its shop. If you choose to eat here, you will do so at a stand-up bar where, especially around lunchtime, it can be hard to find elbowroom. This shouldn't discourage you, though, because the pleasure of having access to such a cornucopia of delicacies at a reasonable price will be a gourmand's vision of paradise. By the way, their full-fledged restaurant around the corner at Via Victor Hugò 4 (tel. 02-876-774), Cracco-Peck, serves high-test traditional and creative cuisine but charges such heart-stopping prices -- their fixed-price tasting menus cost 88€ to 105€ ($110-$131) -- we decided not to include a full write-up.
