Absolutely amazing, one of the best sandwiches we’ve ever had. The service was so nice and they explained everything and we felt at home .

We found this shop randomly while walking through the streets of Milan, we got lured in by the smell! The sandwiches were HEAVENLY, and the guys working there super friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

One of the best sandwiches I had while in Italy, absolutely delicious and worth a visit. The atmosphere was super cozy as well! Lots of vegetarian sandwich options as well.

Nice sandwich, snacks and drink place with variety of selection. Healthy choices of veggies & fruits available. Also, sweets & Terra miso found here.

We went to De Santis for a quick dinner on a trip to Milan. When we arrived, the store was quite empty and we were greeted by the staff. They straight ask if we would like to pay by card since they had issues with their terminal. So we had to grab cash with the nearest ATM. The paninis we ordered had been really delicious, but could’ve been a little bigger for the price. Apart from that. Very nice flavour and nice staff.

Staff are nice and full of energy. Very good services. Very good taste. Best Pannini ever!

The best panini in Milan and very friendly staff. 10/10⭐

This is a classic Milanese café known for its gourmet panini made with premium ingredients. The atmosphere blends tradition and elegance, offering a refined take on Italy’s beloved sandwich culture. A must-try is the Panini Bresaola Lina, featuring air-dried beef (bresaola) for a lighter, more delicate flavor than the usual ham varieties.
