Luini

Beignets, beignets, qui veut des beignets ?. Ceux de Luini, j’en redemande sans problème !.
Dans une rue adjacente à la Piazza Duomo, c’est là que l’on trouve ces chaussons de pâte à pizza fraiches et farcis, que l’on appelle Panzerotti. Ils se vendent comme… des petits pains. Ouvert tout les jours de semaine et weekend, du début de mâtiné jusqu’à la fin de journée, le succès est au rendez vous, ça né désemplit pas.
Toutefois pour être servi, ça reste relativement rapide. Un vigile se charge même de réguler l’afflux des clients pour que ça né traine jamais trop longtemps. Il devrais utiliser le même système au glacier d’en face parce que là, question avancé de la file d’attente, ça ramait sérieusement.
Recette salé ou sucré, franchement on peut facilement en prendre deux par personnes, premièrement parce que ce n’est pas bien cher (2,70 € l’unité) et deuxièmement ça se mange, sur le pouce, d’une traite.

My personal opinion: skip it. But because you will likely be visiting and spending a lot of time walking around the amazing Duomo of Milan as well as the Galleria, you may start craving some sort of sweet or savory snack while you are exploring, other than McDonald’s, which is located opposite here.
If you see a long line, don’t worry; they churn customers very quickly, so be ready to order what you want.
For us, this was a mid-​day snack. Two savory panzerottis and a sweet one — ricotta and spinach, mozzarella and salami, and the plum, apple, and walnut sweet one.
The savory ones weren’t too bad, but tasted something along the lines of Hot Pockets. The sweet one was cold and the pastry part of it was a thick, dry, and crumbly mess. Just don’t do it.

#226−2016:
I could have sworn I had already reviewed this historical panzerotto store before…
I have been purchasing my fair share of panzerottos over the past few decades and I have been able to experience a downward spiral of what once used to be an institution for street food at a decent price right in the middle of Milano. …
However, throughout the last decade or so, this place has lost all that made it unique…
It has always been chaotic and lines would form every single day the store was open so I cannot point fingers in the higher volume not being able to be taken care of…
Just the same I cannot blame the feeling that one is but a mere number and cannot afford choosing by sight but ought to already have picked exactly the number and the typology of panzerotto before reaching the actual food and the staff that promptly serves you and is already pressing those behind you to call for their order.
Panzerottos have, in time, shrunk in size and raised in price. So, though I would still recommend as a fairly quick bite whilst in the area, I have come to like panzerottos from other stores (one of which is really not that far from Luini’s).

I really enjoyed the panzerottis here. It reminded me of a hot pocket, but slightly bigger. It’s great to eat when you’re on the go and has a bunch of varieties for you to choose from. So each panzerotti had different flavors and they all sounded pretty good.
I ended up ordering the special which had some kind of cheese and mushrooms in it. It was quite tasty and I was very tempted to get a second, but didn’t because I was watching my food consumption and spendings.
I recommend trying it out if you are ever in the area.

Une bonne adresse de street food en plein centre de Milan, à deux pas de Duomo. Sa localisation permet de goûter à cette spécialité italienne en se posant près de la place au cours d’une promenade touristique.
Vous trouverez du salé et du sucré sous forme de beignets, pains italiens…
Les prix sont attractifs, plusieurs personnes sont à la caisse pour permettre un roulement rapide. Passez-​y si vous êtes dans le coin (vous y serez!) pour manger italien sans se ruiner ;)

Ich war letzten Do das erste Mal hier und ich muss sagen sehr lecker. Auch wenn die Menschen Massen einen doch erstmal überfordern, also zumindest mich, ging es dann super schnell.
Ich hatte mich für Spinat entschieden, war jetzt nicht so ganz meines. Wir hatten dann noch Tomate/​Zwiebel/​Olive was wirklich ein Gedicht war.
Die süßen Teilchen sahen auch sehr lecker aus, aber hatten leider keinen Platz mehr in unseren Mägen gefunden. Sollte ich nochmal in Mailand sein, werde ich dort sicher wieder einen Snack verspeisen.

I visited this place with friends because it was one of the most popular places but in the end it is just a tourist trap. From all the hype I expected to taste a delicious baked good, but it was just heavy and not very flavorful. I wouldn’t recommend eating here.

Good, but not amazing. I tried a couple of flavors — spinach and some sort of ham and mozzarella — and both just tasted like fried dough. Drinks are pricey. Fun place to stop for a snack, though, while visiting the center, and the queue moves very quickly even when it is out the door. (Choose which side you want to queue — both are the same.)

Very cheap very quick and easy snack to eat while walking around the duomo area. We went two time during our trip in Milan, thats how good it was. Dont be scared by the line you see outside of this bakery, because it moves quickly. We had the panzerotti with spicy salami, the one with mozarella was the best and one with ricotto and spinach. All very tasy and well done. You can also buy sweets here but i didnt like my sicilian canollo probably because i had so many of them in sicily last summer.
I really recommend this place for everyone its not far from Duomo its cheap and very italian.

AMAZING! If you are in the city center and looking for a yummy snack or even a light lunch, you must stop by Luini. There’s usually a long line during the lunch time, but don’t be scared, the line goes fast. The panzerotti itself is from heaven, the mozzarella inside melts as you eat it and all other ingredients add more flavor to this experience. Don’t miss this little gem, it’s among the top 5 must-​to-​dos in Milan!

Luini, located near the Duomo di Milano, sells the most delicious panzerotti!
What is panzerotti? Panzerotti are sweet or savory turnovers that resemble miniature calzones. Personally, I preferred the savory panzerotti. My favorites were the prosciutto and mozzarella and the panzerotti al forno with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.
This was a great option for a quick, cheap lunch before we visited the Duomo. Just stand in line and place your order with the cashier. Once you have paid and receive your panzerotti you can enjoy them standing inside or take them to go. The panzerotti are a little messy so we ate ours inside Luini, along the bar area against the windows.
We enjoyed Luini so much that we returned for a snack a few days later!

Panzerotti, una de esas cosas que te obligan a comprar en las guías de Milán. Tanto habían machacado que esperaba comprar dos, comerlos enseguida y volver para llevarme a casa y para la familia. Y no fue para tanto. Estaban buenos, sobretodo los salados, pero si no estuviese en pleno centro dudo que volviese.
Lo peor, con diferencia, la atención al público, se notaba desgana y poca paciencia con los turistas, que éramos prácticamente la única clientela.

Panzerottis, you will be missed. Best ever and they are delicious. We tried to go back another day but they were closed and we were depressed. We tried three types: tomato and cheese, salami, and the ham and cheese. All were so delicious and under 3 euros each. Great for a quick lunch or snack.

After trying Luini’s, I will never ever be able to look at a calzone or hot pocket again. You really can’t go wrong with any of the options. I got one savory (salami) and one sweet (apricot) panzerotti, and then went back for another savory (spinach) one. All so yummy! The only bummer is that there isn’t anywhere to really sit and eat, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Perfect street food, great spot to nourish yourself while marathon shopping at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Everytime I meet someone from Milan, my eyes twinkle at the memory of Luini’s.

En allant à Milan, on voit partout que c’est une adresse à né pas louper, donc bien sûr nous y sommes allés !
La longue file d’attente né nous a pas trompé sur l’endroit mais en à peine 10 minutes nous étions à l’intérieur.
Il y a beaucoup de choix mais nous avons préféré prendre le classique tomate-​mozza, et nous n’avons pas été déçus ! C’est très gras et on en mangerait pas deux mais alors qu’est-ce que c’est bon !
Je recommande vivement à toutes les personnes de passage à Milan qui souhaite manger quelque chose de bon et de pas cher.

Panzerotti was like a fresh hot pocket. Definitely thought the salami was a winner over the tomato and mozzarella. The extra salt from the salami really brought it all together.
A nice quick inexpensive snack in a very touristy part of town.
Not sure if it’s a local snack or not, but does it matter? Cheap deep fried cheesy goodness is universally wonderful.

This place is pretty awesome. Please note that they have very unique hours! The prices are good and they have so many options!
I decided to just ask them what was most popular and got a sweet and savory panzerottis. The savory one I got was filled with tomato and mozzarella! It was hot and delicious. The mozzarella was nice and gooey. So yummy I refused to share with my friend. I then went back for another for the train ride!

I absolutely love this place!
Pros:
— 2 min away from the Duomo
— 2.70 euros for a decently-​sized mouthwatering panzerotti (aka small version of calzones), yes please! My favorite is the salami and mozzarella (to die for!)
— If you don’t like salty ones, they have a menu for sweet ones too
— I recommend that you buy TWO if that’s your lunch (my friends had to go back on the line to get another one) and they’re pretty filling (carbs for life)
— I love the efficiency of this place — in and out
Cons:
— The lines, but they move quickly because the bouncer keeps the flow
— No seating at all, but walk a couple of steps and you’ll find steps where you can sit and enjoy your calzones

Un succulent impératif milanais. Tout simplement. A côté du Duomo né pas y passer serait vraiment dommage.

Before leaving the states, one of my friends told me to have a «hot pocket» in Italy. I joked that for sure I will have one (it being a totally low brow American junk food). Later, I realized Luini was my hot pocket!
There was much hype for the panzerotti and I was so excited to find the little shop just steps from the Duomo. Luini is a suitable snack but definitely do not use it to replace lunch or dinner!
We arrived after the lunch rush and the line was very short. The shop itself was very hectic with tourists staring at the many options in the glass display. PRO TIP: read the menu listed outside first before you go in to order. There are many employees ready to put your panzerotti in a bag and ring you up. The process happens fast.
We tried the prosciutto e mozzerella, salame piccante e mozzerella, and one sweet one (dolci) fichi, noci e cacao. The ham and cheese one was bland. Way too much dough to filling. The hot salami was much better. It had tomato sauce and a kick. The dessert one (fig, walnut, and cocoa) tasted dry and like cardboard. In short, stick to a sauce based savory panzerotti for full flavor. Also, be warned that the savory panzerotti is served hot and if you bite into one with cheese and sauce, you are almost guaranteed to burn your tongue a little and stain your clothing with grease.
Luini is part of the Duomo experience. I would probably skip it the next time I am in Milan though.

The perfect street food – grab it, eat it. A delicious snack you can eat right out of your hand; no need for fork and knife.
Before coming to Milan, I didn’t even know that panzerotti were a thing. Walking by Luini, we saw the long lines, figured it must be worth the wait, and it was!
The fried ones taste like a savory doughnut, filled with whatever deliciousness you want – cheese and tomato sauce, a variety of meats, spinach, etc.
The sweet ones are made from a short pastry dough that’s not too sweet, but flakey and delicious.
If you’re in need of a snack, don’t miss Luini.

Let me add our voices to the chorus: panzerotti from Luini is delicious! Today, we enjoyed the Ham and Mozzarella panzerotti (€ 2), washed down with a Coke Zero (€ 2) — wonderful value, especially this close to the Duomo. Recommend it highly! Four Stars.

There is a reason that there is a long line of fans lining this place. It is that good. As many have noted, if you come at a peak time, expect a line. But the line does move rather fast.
I like the fried version over the baked. We all know that fried generally tastes better, but less healthier. It tastes like tasty fried dough with filling in the middle.
If you are in the area, this is one that should not be missed. Almost all the guide books talk about this place. It has been around a long time. You don’t stay in business for a long time without doing something right. This place gets it right. Prices are very reasonable and food is good.
I uploaded a picture of the menu in English, so that should help those that do not read Italian.
Now go try it when you are in Milan’s Duomo area.

So GOD DAMN GOOD!
I wanted to go here twice. no three times. during my trip in Italy; however, due to the Easter holiday weekend, I only ate here once. However, it was AMAZING! First off, it’s dirt cheap, like 2 Euro and something. Second, it’s quick come and go. Luckily, I came in when they had a new hot batch. We ate their typical and popular one which came with mozzarella (ooey and gooey!) and tomato. It’s SO GOOD! It’s basically a calzone but better. The bread. not sure what’s in it. is so simple yet yummy and tasty. AHH I still remember the taste in my mouth and now my mouth is salivating. But seriously. YOU HAVE TO GO HERE. I’m so sad I live a continent away.
Other than that. logistically, it’s around the corner of the Duomo, right by the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuel. It’a actually next to a Japanese restaurant named Omusubi and right by a gelato place called Ciccolato. Also this place is a locals’ favorite.

We just missed it on Monday as they close at 3 PM. Because we were in Milan for one more day, we made an effort to come here even if weren’t hungry. It’s around the corner from the Duomo and next to a Japanese restaurant. You go up to the counter and order what you fancy and then gobble it up outside while it’s still hot and fresh.
We tried the pan zerotti with ham and cheese, salami and cheese, and spinach and ricotta. It was so good that we bought our baby her own mozzarella type to share. It was light and fluffy, and melted in your mouth. Each of these bites of heaven costs less than $ 3.
I would absolutely recommend anyone add this to their list of places to try in Milan. It’s good for a snack or a meal.

Oh, Luini. I searched high and low through those narrow puzzling Milano walkways to find you and alas, there you were packed to the rim on a rainy day.
Avoid coming here during lunch hour. Or when kids are released from school, they travel in mobs.
Now for the Luini itself. I tried the Ricotta Spinach variety which tasted like a rich creamy spinach dip stuffed inside a delicious soft fried donut which kept oozing out goodness with every bite. I instantly started craving for another one minutes after ingesting the first one. What this means is that I plan on visiting this spot every day on my Milano trip to savor and remember how delicious the Luini is.

Die panzelotti schmecken gut. Mir hat nur die teigtasche mit mozarella gefallen. Süsse sachen sind je nach geschmack verschieden. Auf jeden fall ist es mal was anderes und wert es einmal probiert zu haben.

El clásico de los clásicos milaneses! Me lo recomendaron mucho y fui, y solo me arrepiento de no haber repetido!
EL clásico panzerotti, como una empanada grande rellena de salsa de tomate y muzzarela (el clásico, obvio que hay más opciones) que puede ser frita o al horno, obvio que frito siempre es más sabroso.
Se hace cola en la calle, se come de dorapa adentro o en la vereda, se supone que uno por mujer es suficiente, pero en un ataque de hambre dos son más que permitidos.
Atienden rápido y bien, es algo estilo fast food de panzerotti. SIEMPRE hay espera, aunque razonable, lo mejor es que cuando terminas cruzas enfrente a comer el mejor gelato de Milan!

Wenn man in Mailand (city center area) ist, soll man zur Luini gehen denn der Laden wirklich einen Besuch wert. Selbst ist die Warterei schon beeindrückend! Weil man extra in der 50 – 100 m lange Schlange für süße Teilchen warten muss. Die Preise liegen zw 2,70−4 €/​St.
Die Mitarbeiter, wie üblich in Italien, sprachen kaum englisch aber paar Sachen könnten sie ausnahmweisse schon in englisch übersetzten.

Schlichtweg verrückt was hier los ist. :-)
Nichtsahnend kamen wir in die Nähe dieser kleinen Bäckerei und sahen 2 Menschenschlangen von links und rechts. Man konnte erst kaum glauben das sie wirklich alle zu dieser Bäckerei wollen.
Am Tag zuvor war die Bäckerei noch zu, aber da guckten bereits verdächtig viele auf das Schild mit den Öffnungszeiten.
Das diese Bäckerei sehr berühmt ist stand im Reiseführer, aber wir am nächsten Tag solche Menschenmassen sehen hätten wir nicht erwartet.
Wir haben uns dann an der kürzeren Schlange angestellt und es ging überraschend schnell voran.
2 große Tafeln (zum Glück auch in englisch) präsentieren die Auswahl der Panzerotti die es hier gibt. Panzerotti ist quasi eine kleine Calzone aber der Teig ist etwas luftiger.
Meine Wahl viel auf die Zwiebel-​, Oliven– und Tomatenfüllung und es war wirklich sehr sehr lecker.
Eine Panzerotti kostet hier um die 2,70 Euro was ich als sehr fair ansehe.
Wir kauften noch 2 süße Teilchen (die italienischen Namen weiß ich leider nicht) die ebenfalls geschmacklich sehr gut waren.
Wer Mailand besucht, sollte auch bei Luini vorbei schauen. Die Wartezeit ist kürzer als die langen Schlangen vermuten lassen und ich glaube man würde ich wohl im nachhinein doch ärgern wenn man sich dort nicht angestellt hätte.

On y va pour ces beignets conseillés dans de nombreux guides de voyages. À l’heure du déjeuner, on peut constater que l’attente peut être longue, il y a deux entrées, les queues peuvent faire la moitié de la rue, plus ou moin 10 mètres voire plus. Mais on né regrette pas d’avoir attendu quand on goûte aux beignets. Ils sont très copieux et très bourratifs, mais vraiment délicieux. Personnellement j’ai eu du mal à finir le deuxième.
Autre point positif, le prix, c’est vraiment abordable !

De merveilleux panzerrottivous né pouvez pas passer à Milan sans y goutermême si la plupart du temps il faut s’armer de patience, vous né le regretterez pas il faut passer chez Luini
dei meravigliosi panzerrotti
non potete passare a Milano senza assaggiareanche se la maggior parte del tempo bisogna armarsi di pazienza, vi non lo rimpiangerà bisogna passare da Luini
Buon Appetito!!!

INCROYABLE ! UN VRAI REGAL ! BRAVISSIMO !!
Luini est une institution à Milan, et ce n’est pas étonnant qu’il y ait souvent la queue ! J’ai peu de mots pour décrire l’explosion de saveurs que j’ai eu dans ma bouche en croquant dans ce beignet à la mozza… Je n’ai gouté que celui la mais beaucoup d’autres sont proposés. A 3−4euros, que demander de plus ?! Courir y retourner !

Wohne für einige Monate in Mailand und war kürzlich das erste Mal bei Luini. Leider, denn die Panzerotti sind wirklich lecker. Selbst sogenanntes Fast Food ist in Italien etwas ganz besonderes. Deshalb sollte man unbedingt vermeiden, beim Hunger zwischendurch auf den am Domplatz beinahe omnipräsenten McDo… zurückzugreifen, sondern in die nächste Nebengasse gehen und die Panzerotti probieren. Ihr Teig ist leicht süßlich, aber mit pikanter Füllung — eine (positiv) interessante Kombination!
Achtung, Sonntags hat Luini geschlossen.

suuuuperlecker!!!
mag sein, dass gewisse kulturbanausen die köstlichkeit dieser” specialitá pugliese «nicht begreifen… ich kann sie allerdings wärmstens empfehlen.
klar, sie ist günstig, und über kalorien darf man auch nicht nachdenken… aber von fast food kann hier beim besten willen nicht die rede sein.
Hier gehts um alter familientradition und erhalt einer besonderen kultur. Schön zu sehen, dass sie auch in der weltmetropole mailand einen solchen erfolg hat.

Also ich finde es ist mehr eine Rosticceria, also so eine Art Bäckerei. Es gibt hier wirklich gute panzerotti. Aber das Anstehen und warten ist es wirklich nicht wert.

Ich versteh den Hype nicht. Dort steht man sich die Beine in den Bauch und um die Ecke. Aber ungesalzener frittierter Hefeteigklumpen mit ungesalzener Fuellung ist fuer mich einfach kein kulinarischer Hoehepunkt. Auch nicht, wenn er von einem Italiener ins Fett geworfen wurde.

institution derrière la rinascente, spécialité des panzerrotti: beignets remplis de mozzarella et jambon en général, quelques autres gouts également
a la base c’est un boulanger.

Luini’s ist die italienische Version von Fast Food. Hier ist es fast immer voller Touristen und Italienern.
Die geschmackliche Hauptattraktion ist Panzerotti — eigentlich eine süditalienische Spezialität, die man im und vor dem Laden in der Seitenstraße links vom Dom essen kann.
Ein Panzerotti ist eine Teigtasche, die mit verschiedensten Zutaten pikant gefüllt wird. Es gibt sie mit Mozarella & Pomodoro, Ricotta & Spinacci, Prosciutto & Mozarella oder mit Funghi & Mozarella. Der Teig wird gefüllt, geschlossen und frittiert.
