Welcome to “Sarpi” which is for us “and many others” the best district in town! Via Sarpi is the pedestrian street which you find 20 meters on the left-hand side when you exit the building. It’s the “Milanese Chinatown” and it is plenty of nice bars, restaurants and food shop! Sarpi is strategically located, we are neighbouring with the two most acclaimed real estate redevelopments in Milan, Vertical Forest and CityLife, and only 10 min from vibrant Arco della Pace/Parco Sempione ( the largest park in town) and 15 minutes’ walk from Garibaldi & Brera District very famous its design gallerias and vibrant nigh life! If you have some spare time and you simply want to have a walk around without a precise destination, Chinatown is an attractive area, rich in aromas, colours and always lively! If you were to be here between January 21st and February 19th you will be able to witness the Chinese New Year. It is very difficult to exactly bound this area and it would be useless giving you an itinerary to follow, because wherever you look, there will always be something catching your eye, a scent to follow, a sign to read or a coloured shop window to observe! Is it morning and you want to have a second breakfast? If you want to have a great start to your day, right at the beginning of Via Paolo Sarpi 2, we advise you to stop at a bar/pastry shop with such a delicious window that will keep you glued to it... Chateau Dufan. Wherever you will look at, you will see a stream of historic workshops of any kind next to Oriental super coloured shops... Just think that people come from every corner of the city to buy meat at the butcher’s at n.27 , it must surely be special! Milan’s Chinatown, known in Italian as Quartiere Cinese, is the oldest and biggest Chinese district in Italy. This pedestrian district stretches over the central via Paolo Sarpi – considered its main street – and reaches the nearby via Bramante, via Aleardi and via Niccolini, forming a real city within the city (a map follows). Whether you are planning to stay in town for a long period or just a few days, a stroll through this multi ethnical area is a curious way of discovering the less known insights of Milan. When it comes to food, the Chinese district features a variety of choices satisfying any taste whim. From breakfast until dinner time guests can enjoy both traditional Italian products as well as taste a selection of delicacies from the Far East that range from noodle to steamed or fried dumplings. For a real full immersion into oriental cuisine a stop at Jubin, between via Bramante and via Paolo Sarpi, or at Hua Cheng, known for its traditional noodles and dumplings is an absolute must-try experience. Another good choice for traditional Eastern food can be found at Ramen a Mano, a small culinary laboratory serving daily the traditional Lanzhou Lamian ramen, made with softly cooked beef broth (in via Lomazzo). When you say Chinatown in the world street food comes to your mind straight away; the same happens in Milan as the Sarpi area boasts many small street food laboratories selling small take-away delicacies. One of these is the Ravioleria Sarpi, a tiny one-window shop serving traditional handmade vegetarian or meat dumplings perfect to be eaten on the go, prepared using high-quality meat coming from the nearby Macelleria Sirtori. For those with a weakness for sweet delicacies, Pasticceria Martesana is a reference point located in the heart of Chinatown and offering a tasty selection of traditional Italian pastry and chocolate. Though it also boasts salty specialities for a quick lunch break and a cosy tearoom on the upper floor, for a gourmet experience from breakfast to dinner. Take advantage of your visit to Chinatown to savour the characteristic “bubble tea”, a typical sweet beverage from Taiwan which can be tasted in different varieties in almost every coffee bar.
