This is the main street of Milano's Chinatown. Its a semi-pedestrian street with many stores to buy trinkets and such. Good dumplings and a pretty walk.

Something for All tastes, as this super long street serves a mixture of Chinese and Italian treats. Best night Sundays

A pedestrian Street, full of chinese venues and some italian bar (Cantine Isola is a very good wine bar)

A good place for a stroll, after sunset people floods in for "aperitivi" o for a fine dinner.
A lot of "takeaway" food is served also.

Quite literally a Chinatown within Milan, most of the shops or the people you will meet here is Chinese (or at least has chinese origins, the so-called "second generation"), the place is filled with cheap small shops and restaurants.
The whole road is covered with a lot of green spots and is very pretty to see while strolling.

Via Paolo Sarpi is the axis of the Milanese Chinatown showing a corner of China maintained and clean in Milan. The shops are all Chinese and the walk is assured by limited road circulation to residents. Many are the places to find Chinese and Asian specialties; Restaurants offer a great selection of traditional Chinese menu: from canonese to Sichuan. Could not resist! The highly recommend!

Finally pedestrian, you can walk along the street smelling chinese food, earing chinese spoken by people around and entering in small shops where you can buy local food (like chinese pak-choi cabbage) and fashion stuff, some cute, some just the copy of the copy.
It is nice indeed to have a walk here and stop at some restaurant to get some chinese dim sum or a soup, or just a bowl of noodles and then continue shopping.
There are also some very old italian shops still resisting, but mainly this is Milan chinese area with very nice spots (buildings are beautiful) and some asking a strong renewal (like very small streets close to the main road).
Really cute at sunset.

One of the most famous streets of Milan, not for fashion or art, but Via Paolo Sarpi in recent years it has become a sort of ghetto street, a so called ''Chinatown'' where all stores along it in the area belong to Chinese owners, now become something like ethnic minority of Milan. The street itself is not very interesting and the numerous Chinese shops there is nothing interesting to see, perhaps it seem to be in Beijing than in Milan.

We were told by another traveller tat there were some quaint shops and attractions here. Ok there were Chines lanterns as street lights but little else, except small tacky shops which were expensive for what they sold. Don't waste your time

The square is lovely. Duomo amazing.
People not very friendly. The park behind the Castle is horrible. No flowers grass all dead. Duck pond filthy. People sleeping on park benches. Graffiti everywhere. Felt unsafe. Basically stick to the square. It’s a one and done for us.
