Ammu Cannoli Espressi Siciliani

a slow tuesday morning in milan is its own kind of permission slip. corso di porta romana moves at a pace that rewards stopping, and ammu cannoli espressi siciliani sits at number 44 with the quiet confidence of a place that doesn't need to explain itself. you're not here by accident, probably, and neither are the people who keep coming back. the sicilian angle is specific in a way that matters: cannoli alongside espresso isn't a novelty pairing in that tradition, it's just how things go. milan has no shortage of places to drink coffee standing up, but the combination of a well-regarded reputation and a address on one of the city's more considered corridors makes this one worth the detour. come for the espresso, stay through the cannoli.
