Princi

Princi is a Milanese bakery, and the shop on Via Speronari is a few steps from the Duomo. The house has been baking since 1986 under the name L'Artigiano del Pane — the craftsman of bread — and it is one of the small number of Milanese food names that became international without leaving: there are Princi bakeries in the United States, Japan, China and Kuwait, all of them selling what the company calls the spirit of Milan.

What is sold is bread, pizza, focaccia and pastries, baked through the day rather than in one morning batch, which is why the counter looks different at nine in the morning and at five in the afternoon. Focaccia and pizza al taglio are sold by weight and eaten standing or taken away, and that is how most of the queue uses the place: this is a bakery, not a restaurant, and there is no table service.

It opens every day from half past seven in the morning until half past seven in the evening — long hours by Milanese standards, and unusual in covering Sunday.

Via Speronari is a short pedestrian street running off Via Torino, inside the block between the Duomo and Piazza Missori. If you are staying in the centre this is the practical answer to breakfast, and a better one than the hotel buffet.

You will find Princi at Via Speronari 6, 20123 Milan.
