The area

Address
Neighborhood: Centro Storico
The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch expedition into a royal experience. Head to the rooftop of the flagship La Rinascente to enjoy the view of the animated square with a panorama of the Duomo. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the street for high-end shopping. Brands of all kinds and street artists attract the attention of all visitors; while at Via Santa Radegonda 16, Luini Panzerotti is a much appreciated street food shop providing unimaginable culinary experiences. If shopping takes its toll on you, consider visiting Castello Sforzesco, a 15th century castle housing several museums. Those looking to relax can go to Parco Sempione, where nature provides respite from the energy of this dynamic and international city.
How to get there

A step away from the Milan cathedral, this establishment offers a very good selection of small bites included in the apero’s price. Not pretentious but up to a decent standard it gathers to a relatively young and pleasant crowd.

Realising the danger of returning down memory lane, we did and no regrets. We passed hours here last year, but this year was no disappointment : some places just know how you create the whole customer experience : good food + good music + good wine + good vibe = amazing time!! See you tomorrow!!

I haven’t visited the straf for a few years now. I first stayed at the hotel the week it opened, many years ago, and have been back more times than I can remember. It’s my favourite place in Milan.
Whilst back in Milan this month I returned to the straf a few times for various pit stops as a break from the shopping and to cool down from the fantastic weather. I’m pleased to say, it hasn’t changed. The staff are lovely and the cappuccino delicious. The decor has only had very very slight tweaks over the years but somehow remains contemporary and still looks good.
Great position to sit and people watch.Love this place. Hopefully I’ll be back soon.

Great location, right next to the Duomo. Cocktails are OK; with a good selection of cold cuts and finger food (free!!) to snack on. There's a DJ most nights after 8pm... good vibe!
PS - Why does everyone in Milan smoke??

It was funky and fun with great drinks and bar food. My hubby and I sat at the window seats and had some of the best people watching in Milan. The atmosphere is sophisticated but relaxed. The drinks are mixed well and I like my drinks on the sweet side, they were willing to remix my drink to my satisfaction. This is a quintessential Milan experience! Great drinks, good food, disco music playing and awesome people watching.

Just a walk from Duomo, it is a very nice place for your drink after shopping! Reasonable prices for the cocktails with open buffet... Very nice music and full of young fashionistas!

We firstly thought the drinks were quite expensive at £10 each and only realised after our 2nd that there was a free buffet. You wouldn’t need to go for dinner afterwards as the food was really nice. Lovely central location near to the Duomo for people watching

Hi Hayley J! First of all I thank you to take your time for your feedback. It's true, our buffet can take dinner's place: it starts at 6.00 p.m. until 9.00 p.m. If you come back in spring or in summer you can enjoy our "gazebo", so you can drink our cocktails watching the Duomo. Hope to welcome you again soon.... Matteo Rube F&B Manager STRAF hotel&bar, a member of Desing Hotels
