Panzerotti Luini

I absolutely loved this place! Don’t let the long lines scare you, it’s definitely worth the wait! I visited a couple of times, trying different panzerotti each time - both fried and baked, and I was amazed by every type. My favourite panzerotto would be the baked panzerotto with ricotta and spinach; out-of-this-world delicious. I wish I could try the sweet panzerotti too, but alas didn’t have the time. Thus, I will be stopping by for sure once I am again in Milan:) Panzerotti Luini is a must-try if in Milan, for a quick bite on the go (there isn’t a sitting space, but can take away as much as you want) & enjoy it in front of the e Duomo.

A very famous spot in the center of Milan that offers delicious breakfast treats at very good prices. This place always has a line of people waiting, where you can enjoy traditional Italian flavors. Anyone visiting Milan should definitely stop by.

We absolutely love Luini! 💛 Every year, we travel to Milan, Italy, to taste the most delicious food, and Luini never disappoints. Even with long waiting lines, the staff is super energetic, kind, friendly, and unbelievably fast! The chefs are Italian, the servers speak English, and the food is always served piping hot. Our favorite? The traditional panzerotti – tomato sauce with stretchy cheese and fresh bread. It’s an amazing combination at a great price. Thank you so much to everyone at Luini for making every visit so special! 🇮🇹

Shop selling Panzerotti along one of the small alleys at Duomo. Many flavours of panzerotti and wide selection of other pastries. Tried the salt specialties- ham and mozzarella at €3.20 apiece, it was basically fried salty-tasty bread with ham and melted mozzarell cheese within. Not fantastic but worth a try. Its a tourist to-go.

Update: Finally!! We came back to try some other products at Luini. OMG, their coconut chocolate cake (Torta Cocco Ciok) was amazing!!!!! Moist, fragrant, and chocolatey, with a rich coconut flavor yet not too sweet!! I wish I had tried it earlier!! Def my fav item of all. Guys, go try it!! Original comment: A very busy place that sells all kinds of panzerotti, a traditional Italian pastry that’s originated in Puglia. They offer baked, fried, and sweet options to choose from. We picked the first item from both their savory and sweet specialty menu to try. The savory panzerotto tasted like a folded deep-fried margarita pizza. The sweet one was like a dumpling-shaped cookie that was filled with a cream custard mixed with chocolate chips in the center. Both were good. Great snacks when wandering around. There was no seating inside or out as it was a takeout bakery shop. There was always a line but it moved very fast. Besides, the staff were super friendly (Thank you to the girl who gave me extra napkins haha). Overall, a must-visit place in Milan!

I absolutely enjoyed my stop at Panzerotti Luini in Milan — this place is a true local institution and an iconic grab-and-go snack spot right near the Duomo. The panzerotti are what everyone comes for: golden-fried pockets of fluffy dough filled with classics like tomato and mozzarella, spicy salami, or even sweet versions. They’re simple, comforting, and really hit the spot when you want something quick and tasty while wandering the city. There’s often a queue, but it moves really fast, and grabbing one (or two!) feels almost like a rite of passage in Milan. The dough is light yet satisfying, and the fillings are generous — especially when they’re hot straight from the counter. While it’s definitely popular with tourists, locals keep coming back too, which says a lot about how good the panzerotti are. Overall, it’s the perfect pit-stop for an authentic Italian street food bite: casual, affordable, and delicious.

So central, and so good, decent prices at 3.20 a piece. I highly recommend the four cheese, personal favorite. Go for fried, cause you only live once and it's worth it, not as fatty as you would think. Also have to try the original recipe with mozzarella and tomato. If you visit the galleria or duomo you must stop here for a snack, or make it a meal with a couple of panzerotti.

We really liked the one with tomatoes and mozzarella. There’s a queue, but it moves quickly. The spinach and ricotta one seemed a bit bland and undersalted. We didn’t like the ricotta chocolate one at all; there was very little chocolate and the dough tasted like wet cookie.
