- What it does
- Pastry, croissants, espresso, aperitivo Displayed in a window comptoir at the entrance.
Cova opened in Milan in 1817 and is one of the oldest pasticcerias in Italy. The Astir Marina room carries the format across: a window comptoir at the entrance, pastry and croissants, Italian espresso, and aperitivo later in the day.
The highest-frequency address on the promenade
You will buy a watch once. You will buy a coffee two hundred times a year. On that arithmetic this is the most consequential tenant on the quay for anyone who actually lives on the peninsula, and everything else here is occasional.
The aperitivo half matters as much, because it is the one thing on this promenade that gives a reason to be here at seven on an October evening rather than at one on an August afternoon.
We have not eaten here and are not describing the pastry. The rest of the marina is in the pillar file.
