Pasticceria Colombo
My first review for the coffee shops in Vigevano starts with one of the pastry shops in the famous square of the city, Piazza Ducale.
When you enter the square, you see lots of attractive options for coffee and snacks! As the locals suggest, I recommend to make a turn around the square area to see the best places according to your taste. Or as I do, you can try one by one to check all of them 🙂
For the first review, I wanted to start with one of my favorite pastry and coffee shops. Since the offering for both sweets and coffee-based drinks is so varied, if you become a regular you can try limitless combinations!
Another benefit of becoming a regular is of course the opportunity to benefit from the warm welcome of the staff.
Some key information about the coffee
- The coffee brand that they use is Illy.
- I have seen at their door a statement that they have good evaluation for the coffee preparation Since the place is usually full, I can imagine that the coffee is quite fresh with respect to the average shop.
The cappuccino is quite fluffy J you feel the smooth taste of coffee ugh milk and not coffee dominated.
If you want your coffee to last longer and if you enjoy the taste of the milk in your coffee, I recommend you to order latte macchiato, which is served in a bigger glass.
During the good weathers, it is a very good idea to with outside (be aware that you need to pay more when you sit outside or inside. This is a common rule in Italy) and enjoy the view of square, old church and castle.
If you already have hurry and just want to enjoy a good coffee and continue to walk around, the coffee at the desk can be also a good option.
WHERE: Vigevano, Northern Italy, 35 km (21 miles) South-West of Milan
HOW: the town is connected to Milan (Porta Genova station) by a railway arriving at a short distance from the square. Parallel to the railway there is a road, allowing you to reach the town by car
WHEN: Spring, Summer and Autumn allow to benefit from perfect conditions outside. Sunny Winter days are also a good choice. The town deserves at least half a day visit.
