Tue-Sat9.30am-5.30pm.Try a “panzerotto” at Luini’s, a pocket ofpizza crust stuffed with all sorts of ingredients,including the basic mozzarella cheese andtomatoes. A Milanese institution since 1940, just astone’s throw from the Duomo and la Rinascente.You will recognize it by the crowds queuing upon the pavement! Never fear, service is quick andefficient and the wait is well worth it.
