Paper Moon: A Delicious City Cafe for “Respectable People”™

Paper Moon, Via Bagutta, Milan, Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy / 20 мая 2017

The place has its own atmosphere.

It’s crowded, the interior is windowless, and it’s really absolutely full. There is a long queue for lunch. There are only 10 centimeters from one table to the next. People are ages 18 to 80. In short, all ages and types. Everything is fine with them; among those with H&M and Reebok you easily find those with Birkin and Chopard, as well as those with white gold diamond watches.

At the same time the place is extremely simple, relaxed, and has fast service.

Above all, it serves food that is delicious and inexpensive, everything that’s on the pictures + 2 campari and mineral water — 121eur, for our times this is a gift!

The place is located in the center of Milan, between Prada and Gucci, a walking distance from Via della Spiga, this is fantastic.

It would be pleasant to return here in like… 15 years (sic!) and to find out that absolutely nothing has changed. The same simple but delicious food for small amount of money, hubbub, crowd, great pizza, and the people all carrying packages. Some of them come from Spiga, others from Monte Napoleone, and they even get here from Corso Como. In short, a very fashionable spirit prevails.

They drink, eat and gossip.

Time stands still in this luxury district of this luxury city and it’s even more true of this place.

Everything is equally delicious. It’s good without being too damn pretentious; from caprese to sea bass with tomatoes and capers, all the pasta dishes, and risotto, including the pizza.

In my opinion, it’s a place for lunch between shopping, a pause to appreciate the new stuff, otherwise you might not even notice it. Well, you can have a plate of simple good Italian food, taking into consideration that there are only infernal touristy restaurants around this area. “Paper Moon” is a gem.

Do enjoy!
