So, it was especially refreshing to sit down inside NOWHERE and witness a neighborhood coffee shop come alive. In Portland, a majority of our coffee shops are still serving brews in paper cups with takeaway-only options due to the pandemic. Many of us referred to NOWHERE as “the little pink café“ during our stay.
CAFFE MILANO MANUAL
While in Milan and Florence, I had the opportunity to visit a few spots that are focusing on sourcing light-roasted coffee, providing manual brewing options, and even serving American-style drip coffee to locals and wandering tourists. However, much of today’s guidelines and practices for specialty-coffee brewing have challenged those traditions, and a new generation of Italian coffee is finding pockets of followers in the metropolitan cities. Italy is known for its long-standing traditions of coffee that are deeply rooted in espresso many Italy-based espresso manufacturers are responsible for what today’s global coffee industry has standardized for the ideal espresso machine.
During my time in both Milan and Florence, I wanted to check out what each city had to offer in the world of specialty coffee by visiting some cafés recommended by our friends at FuoriHost.

Instead of cutting-edge dishes, Cafe Milano's rotating Sunday brunch menu is stocked with straightforward Italian favorites like spaghetti alla carbonara, or scrambled eggs with burrata. This is not the place for avant-garde, deconstructed anything. Give us the lowdown-especially what not to miss. Peruse the wine list or opt for a Negroni-Cafe Milano's got several takes on the classic Italian cocktail, along with drinks like like amaro highballs, or Fernet Branca and cola. The famous faces might be more interesting decor than Cafe Milano's dining room-although, do check out the ceiling's hand-painted murals.īold-faced names who want to be taken care of, monied Georgetown neighbors, an international contingent, and anyone who wants to drink in the scene. The restaurant, and its classic blue signage with flags atop, celebrated 25 years in business last year.
Is that Louise Linton and Steven Mnuchin, ordering chicken Milanese and panzanella salad? Or Wolf Blitzer across the dining room? It's not just D.C.'s "celebs" (read: politicians and journalists) who dine at this Georgetown institution- real celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio and LeBron James have held court at Cafe Milano's tables, too.
