8 street food places in Milan we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Milan | Street Food across every city.
Milan's street food leans on a handful of long-standing institutions rather than a sprawling market scene. Luini in the Centro Storico is the most famous of them, the panzerotto window near the Duomo that has fried its filled pockets since well before the format was fashionable, while Pizzeria Spontini nearby sells its thick slice to go. For something further afield, Ravioleria Sarpi in Isola folds dumplings to order and Giannasi in Porta Romana keeps its roast-chicken kiosk running.
