Obika
Via Santa Radegonda, 3
20121 Milano
Date of Last Visit: Saturday, February February 7, 2009
The Victims: The fantastic Milan food bloggers: Sara and Sara
The Damage: Unknown, because again, the ladies paid for me! And they were sneaky about it too.
The Background: God I love Italy. And I love how the girls are taking me out for cheese and meat for lunch. They've taken me to Obika, which I imagine would be lovely in summer, overlooking the Duomo as it does. Sara and Sara have rushed us here, trying valiantly to beat the crowds. They succeed. By the time we leave, the queue is out the door and through the Rinascente shop.
We've got a nice bottle of proseco and Sara R. patiently explains my options. I copy her selection of Stracciatella di Burrata (gusto dolce e cremoso)–a really creamy mozzerella–so creamy, it's served in a glass. And well, when given the choice between one type of meat or three, I of course choose three: Prosciutto Crudo San Daniele,Mortadella di Prato, Salame di Cinta Senese.
The Verdict: I've been to the Obika in Selfridge's. But I've got to tell you…it doesn't compare. At all. If you're in Milan, you should go here.

Agreed — I’ve been to the Obika in Rome and then tried the one in London — The quality of the mozzarella just doesn’t compare. In London it wasn’t fresh and served too cold…
