Giannasi 1967

The story

Dorando Giannasi opened his kiosk on Piazza Buozzi in 1967, and in Milan his name has become a synonym for spit-roasted chicken. The queue, especially at lunch and on Saturdays, is part of the ritual. Besides chicken and roast potatoes you'll find fried chicken, lasagne and Milanese mondeghili (meatballs). New owners have recently opened stalls in Milan's covered markets, but the original kiosk is unchanged.
