Since opening in 1964, Bar Quadronno has been one of Milan’s best-known sandwich bars and is widely regarded as the city’s first dedicated paninoteca. Despite its modest size, it has become a local institution, welcoming generations of Milanese alongside visitors from the worlds of fashion, culture and business.
The extensive menu is part of the appeal. Dozens of panini are prepared to order, combining Italian cured meats, regional cheeses and seasonal vegetables in both classic and more inventive combinations. Many have become house favourites over the decades, and if you’re visiting for the first time, it’s worth asking the staff for their recommendation.
