Papilla Milano In Milano

A Serendipitous Discovery at Papilla Milano After a grueling 19-hour journey from Miami to Milan, exhausted and jet-lagged while helping my daughter settle in for her studies at Bocconi University, we stumbled upon Papilla Milano purely by chance. Despite my meticulous research for authentic Italian dining spots—this wasn't on my carefully curated list—sometimes the best discoveries happen unexpectedly. Don't let the modest exterior fool you; this apparent "hole in the wall" opens into a spacious, welcoming restaurant. The staff immediately embraced us with genuine Italian hospitality, patiently guiding us through their menu when I explained our love for Italian cuisine and requested recommendations. We began with their Crunchy Cloud—a revelation of 150 g of Burrata di Andria encased in golden, crispy breadcrumbs, accompanied by rich tomato sauce and aromatic crispy basil. The contrast between the molten, creamy burrata and its crunchy shell was sublime. The Fried Mozzarella featuring Agerola DOP mozzarella was equally impressive—perfectly breaded and fried to achieve that ideal balance of crispy exterior and stretchy, melted interior. The star, however, was the Romana pizza. As a Neapolitan pizza enthusiast who recreates these masterpieces at home using Italian flour and San Marzano tomatoes, I can confidently say it ranks among the finest I've ever experienced. The cornicione boasted that coveted crispy-yet-fluffy texture, while the Agerola DOP mozzarella, Sciacca anchovies, oregano, black olives, and capers created perfect harmony—each ingredient distinct yet complementary. Even my request to omit tomato sauce was accommodated without hesitation. Sometimes the most memorable meals come from abandoning rigid itineraries and trusting serendipity. Thank you, guys, and we will definitely be back soon every time we are back in Milano.

Virginia is a very good professional, pro-acitve and very friendly! The pizzas are also amazing! 😻

Great pizza, great prices, everything was very tasty and the service was incredible as well. Pizzas are for 1. Maybe to share if you order an entree or you're not hungry enough. We didn't had dessert but the tiramisù looks amazing

very nice place, delicious food, friendly staff, I recommend ❤️

The pizza is very good, with interesting options to choose from (both classic and slightly more modern). The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Amazing food, the pizza is incredible! We had the antipasti maxi montanare al pomodoro and it was amazing, the sauce was spectacular! And we had the Bufalotta and the cheese and the bread were to die for! Amazing!!! Also, order the Hugo Spritz here and thank me later! I’m definitely coming back to try the tiramisu, it looked delicious!

a little hot, but high level service and good pizza

A pleasant shop with good food. I can recommend it.

A parere mio e dei miei amici, la migliore pizza di Milano. Ottimo servizio, veloce, professionale ed estremamente cortese. Il locale è molto molto carino

Esta es la mejor pizza que he probado. Pedí la “Romana” y fue verdaderamente excepcional. Excelente servicio también. Nada más que decir.
