After a morning in the excellent Museo Novecento, mostly spent observing the Futurists, we need a snack before contemplating a night at the Hockey.

We were worried that Caff dell Opera (opposite La Scala) may be a tourist trap. It was but that didn’t mean that did t offer good product. It did.

Most of the enjoyment of this visit was, appropriately, in the theatre of the place. On the till a tyrant of the floor, reducing miscreants waiters to worms and rattling through the bills efficiently. Behind the counter the man was a virtuoso of the meat slicer, wanging out sandwiches like bills from a busted ATM.

We took two of these. I chose well with a San Marco containing cheese, ham, salad and tomatoes. Across the way was delivered what can only be described as a tube of meat. Admittedly high quality meat encased in a wrap. We shared.

Drinks were a stiff Campari soda and a cold beer. We left content, ready to face a pretty shambolic FoH experience at the Olympic venue. They needed CdO’s manageress in charge.

7/10
