Bar Quadronno

Where Milan's gourmet panino was born

HistoricLate night

The story

From outside it looks like any other bar. But food writers credit Quadronno, open since 1964, with inventing the Milanese 'gourmet' panino: rolls filled with fine salumi, cheeses and sauces instead of plain ham and cheese. The most famous is the 'Praga completo', with Prague ham, brie and pâté. Gambero Rosso also praises the versions with cured meats such as wild-boar ham and coppa.
