Crosta
About
Crosta is a vibrant, all-day bakery‑restaurant nestled in Milan’s historic Porta Venezia district. From early morning coffee and pastries to late‑night pizza made in a wood‑fired oven, the menu showcases artisanal bread and freshly baked pizzas finished in a traditional oven. The space is airy and welcoming, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and local ingredients, earning it accolades such as Gambero Rosso’s “Pane dell’anno”. Crosta prides itself on its two distinct corners: the original bakery on Via Felice Bellotti 13, open 8 AM–10 PM, and the Crosta Lab on Via Melzo 5, where the pizza‑tontò is delivered and prepared in a separate kitchen from 6:30 PM–11 PM. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast, indulging in a leisurely lunch, or sharing an evening aperitif, Crosta offers a relaxed, family‑friendly experience that celebrates traditional Italian baking in a contemporary setting.
