This quietly dignified caffè may be on the touristy side, but it remains a must for opera fans. Situated across the road from La Scala, it's a convenient coffee-break spot for company members. But even if you don't run into Placido Domingo, you can soak up the atmosphere, surrounded by busts and photos of composers. It also serves food, and is popular with bankers at lunchtime.
