WHAT TO EXPECT
About Italian food?
Italian food is very regional and seasonal; it can vary a lot from one city
to another. Milan is located in the Lombardy region, in the northern
part of the country, and fresh vegetables and cold cuts (ham, turkey) can
frequently be seen from August to the early parts of November.
Pasta is a big part of Italian cuisine; it is most often found as a main dish,
and accompanied by salads, and sometimes beef or chicken in a different
course.
Pizza is another very well-known staple of the Italian culinary. However,
the most common types of pizzas found in America are a mix of styles;
for example, if you order a “pepperoni pizza” you will not be served with
the thinly sliced spicy sausage we have all come to know. Peperoni is the
Italian word for peppers! You’ll want to order salame piccante (hot salami
slices).
It is not easy to find proper meals outside lunch and dinner hours. You
will find plenty of bars and cafés, but they will only serve paninos, simple
sandwiches of dried bread, cheese, ham and sometimes tomato.
WHAT TO EXPECT
About transportation and traffic?
Using a taxi to move around in the city is VERY expensive. We
recommend people to avoid taking cabs, or to take them at taxi
stops, rather than calling them.
Traffic is very heavy during weekdays; it is advised to use the subway
network.
See here for a map of Milan’s Subway Network.
