Neighborhood: Navigli
The Navigli is part of historic Milan. In the ancient days, the entire city was linked with canals, similar to Venice. Today, most of the canals are gone, but the Navigli remains a canal-based neighborhood. There are two major canals: Naviglio Pavese and Naviglio Grande. The Naviglio Grande's bridges greet visitors at dusk with an amazing view. The Navigli district specializes in clubs, cafes, and vintage shops. Lifestyle reigns supreme here. You can start the walk from the Colonne di San Lorenzo, an antique colonnade in front of the Basilica di San Lorenzo. During the daytime, this place acts as a meeting point for artists and students reading books or chatting with friends; the nights turn it into a stepping-stone for club hoppers. Science lovers will also relish the opportunity to visit the Science and Technology National Museum Leonardo Da Vinci, showcasing inventions of the Italian genius.

After a long morning walking in The Navigli area of Milan we stopped for a while in this Cafe/Bar for a rest. How pleasant it was to sit for a while in such a nice place and somewhere different to a lot of the other Milanese cafes. Coffee & cake was lovely & if it had been later in the day we would probably had a drink. Great customer service.

The perfect place for a cappucino or 4. To have a smoke, to cry, to laugh, to read, to cocktail and listen to a LOT of Queen.

Very quirky and cool cafe to chill out. Very reasonable price for drinks.
Right next to the canal. Perfect spot to relax after walking.

This is an amazing place to hangout solo or with friends any time of the day. I come here all the time and it's one of my favorite spot in Milan. The morning brioche are really fresh, unlike the frozen ones in most bars of Milan. They have an amazing collection of tea and it's a big deal in Italy ( the coffee country 😜).
It's quite small so evenings could be a bit crowded. The deco of the place is really unique and comfy. The bar staff are amazing too. Not pricy at all though it's right on Naviglio. Their Moscow Mule is great.

Pls check uit the picture. Left one is a gin cocktail (Uluwatu punch). That one is fine. The other one, right one, calls the Mexican Trip. BUT me and my friend call it the Heinz Ketchup Cocktail. Do not take that one! At least, the bar is nice. Dogs are welkome.

Drinks are perfect here. I think that an important slice of life of the Milanese mixology passes here. Just a problem. It is better to serve nothing than the really poor dish you bring to every table. One point less for this reason. Anyway recommended place.

In 4 days in Milan I went twice to MAG. The ambience is super cozy, cool music, amazing Negronis. On Thursday we where able to find seats at the bar and then a table. On Saturday the place was totally packed and there was actually a long line to get a drink. So, as a place during the week for aperitivo and further, I totally recommend. For weekends you might want to get there early.

We agree with most reviews in that this little venue would be most popular in the evenings with a young lively crowd. That said, we 'oldies' enjoyed an excellent cappuccino and a friendly vibe as a respite from our wandering around the highlights of Milan.

I reckon most people will come here for the bar at night. I came for the breakfast in the morning. It was quiet but I got to try a legit Italian breakfast and was quite surprised. I liked my cold tea drink, biscuit, and doughnut. This is a very very cool place to chill.

Ciao.
Musica si ma se devi far una festa non è adatto. C’è un casino fotonico e il posto è strettissimo.
