Milano

Okay guys… yes. Week three at Luigi. I tried to tell myself I’d branch out, but the moment I saw the Milano on the menu last week, it was locked in. I’ve genuinely been thinking about it all week.

Gorgonzola in a sandwich just works for me. Salty, sharp, slightly funky in that blue-cheese way that not everyone loves, but I do. Then add honey and toasted walnuts into the mix and I’m already halfway convinced before the first bite.

And yes, it delivered.

The salami was nicely savoury, with that classic cured-meat saltiness. It balanced the rich gorgonzola beautifully. The honey softened everything, the toasted walnuts gave that nutty crunch, and the rocket came in at the end with a fresh, peppery finish that stopped it from feeling too heavy.

Rich, bold, but still balanced. Halfway through I had that proper satisfied feeling where you slow down and actually taste it instead of inhaling it in three bites. I still finished it, obviously.

No metro today and I briefly thought about trying somewhere else, but my heart was fixed on the Milano 🤣 It’s such a good feeling when you hype a sandwich up in your head all week and it actually lives up to it.
