Bacchette Forchette: two clicks and the dinner is served (at home)

It's Friday night: I am not in the mood to go out, suffer the breezing cold of Milan, drive the car and desperately search for a parking. The week was full of work and I feel my shoes very heavy (using the same the words used by Oskar, the young protagonist of the book I'm just reading).

Al Mercato - burger bar

The show is at 21:15, perfect timing to get away from the office, take a breath of fresh air and have a bite with my faithful friends of the theater Franco Parenti. The appointment for a quick dinner is at Al Mercato that, unlike the evocative name of vegetables and products of our mother earth, is actually a wonderful "stall" full of great burgers in Yankees sauce. And on the web are rumors that this is one of the best hamburgers in Milan ... a visit of courtesy was a must!

Bodega del tasca ¡Bar de Tapas!


Just missing the musicality of the Spanish voices, the toothpicks and receipts on the floor and an edition of El Pais newspaper read sipping a glass of vino tinto and then this venue would really look like a tapas bar madrileño. And here it is the Bodega del Tascawith its long wooden bar that invites you to sit down to share wine and tapas with old and new friends, with its stools scattered everywhere, high or low, it does not matter: it's OK to stand up, enjoy the cheerful atmosphere of this small place, in a pleasent party of sips, bites and speeches in good company! La Bodega belongs to the popular restaurant / bar Il Tasca and it shares the name, address and the Spanish spirit, but the Bodega del Tasca has a more youthful and rebel look and spirit!
