Sometimes it can be nice to go out to eat and not to go to a restaurant necessarily, but to choose something more down to earth, good and tasty. Street food can be a viable alternative to the usual pizza o sushi. We have selected some places in Milan to eat good street food, spend little and spend pleasant moments.
So many people think that street food is a fad imported from the United States. Many of us when we think of street food, we picture the classic hot dog truck. In fact, street food has ancient origins. Already the Egyptians had this food-related custom. In the port of Alexandria, in fact, they fried fish and then sold them on the street.
Also, street food can be really delicious and Milan has some worthy places! Let’s see:
Pescaria
Are you a lover of slightly extravagant sandwiches? Then you can’t fail to try Pescaria in Milan. For those who like to eat with a twist, this restaurant offers a new way to enjoy fish, raw and cooked, with extreme pairings. Large sandwiches stuffed with the freshest fish tartare and well-made, light fried food.
Recommended sandwich: ice prawns and potato chips. Sandwiches are priced between 8 and 13.50 euros.
Where: 12 Solari Street and in 5 Bonnet Street, Milan.
Romoletto Street Food
Romoletto brings the Capitoline tradition to Milan. A place to taste the flavors of ancient Rome, where “pinsa” was the street-food par excellence. “The bakers,” as Romoletto explains, “used to prepare it every day early in the morning, perfect to be enjoyed on the streets of the Urbe or in the shadow of the Colosseum.” Here you can also enjoy the fabulous supplì. Simple and good ingredients for mouth-watering specialties. Take a look at the menu.
We recommend trying the Cacio e pepe supplì and the white stuffed pizza alla pala.
Where: Corso di Porta Ticinese, 14 – MM Porta Genova
Ravioleria Sarpi
A small store that brings China’s long culinary tradition to Milan with high-quality Italian ingredients. A venue that has become an institution in the city.

Bao House
Fancy trying new flavors? From Bao House you can try real Taiwanese street food: Panini Bao, Rice & Noodles. “We wanted to recreate the atmosphere of Taipei, with its narrow streets, the hushed voices of passersby, the constant sizzle from the street food stalls in that of Via Plinio. The accent is Milanese but everything else is Taiwanese doc,” they assure from the restaurant.
