Spazio Rossana Orlandi, a store and gallery dedicated to avantgarde design, located in a former tie factory.

Vintage interiors store selling mid-century and post-modern homeware.

Nilufar Depot: three storeys of historic and contemporary design, selected by Nina Yashar, one of Milan’s top design dealers. 

Cozy ambient inside, but also with tables on the street, Champagne Socialist is a good place to try natural wines from Europe. You can also go there just to buy a bootle (or more, of course) and drink it at home.
