A Miniature Art Nouveau Jewel Box

Barely larger than a single room, Caffè Mulassano on Piazza Castello has served since 1907 in an interior of marble, mahogany, brass and stained glass almost entirely unchanged since opening.

It's widely credited as the birthplace of the tramezzino, the soft triangular sandwich now found across Italy — perfect for a quick, elegant espresso between sightseeing stops, though seating is minimal so expect to stand at the counter.
