Dalle 8 - Review - Porta Nuova - Milan - The Infatuation

"Dalle8, which means “from 8am,” touts itself as Milan’s first Chinese brunch spot, with sweet and savory options running all day. It opened in early 2025 and, for now, you can linger—though with only three tables, expect it to get harder to snag a seat once word spreads. It’s the perfect stop near Corso Como, with two of the best dishes in the city right now: fluffy youtiao stuffed with shrimp and silky tofu panna cotta topped with osmanthus syrup and housemade rice mochi. To drink, there’s freshly brewed soy milk made daily with seasonal summer blends like cucumber or watermelon, a cool alternative to the bubble tea shops down the street. We like it spiked with a shot (or two) of espresso." - Elizabeth De Filippo-Jones
