Kosher Info: Milan’s kosher community is well served by three small supermarkets which carry just about anything that one could want. The following website gives a thorough listing of all kosher and Jewish establishment in Milan and throughout Italy: http://www.jewishitaly.org. If you will be in town over Shabbos the Re Solomone offer complete Shabbos meals which must be picked up there on Friday during regular hours. Please note that many shops and all restaurants close in the afternoon. Jewish Italians eat lunch at 1pm and eat a late dinner, so if you’re hungry between 2pm and 7pm you’ll need to consider fresh fruit. Restaurants charge a cover fee (1-2.5 Euros per adult), but tipping is not necessary.
You can use http://www.torinoebraica.it/listakasher.php to locate kosher food which can be purchased at any Italian supermarket. This list is in Italian (the foods which you might really need … Kellogg’s cereal, tuna fish – Palmera and Rio Mare brands, some cheese (fromaggi), and a short list of cookies and crackers).
Tourist Info: Milan doesn’t offer much to tourists, so if your not comming on business, you’d do well to spend your time in Venice or the Lakes. The shopping however, is great.

before we went to Italy we got info from Abbie about kosher yogurt, cheese, tuna (which we found, imported from Italy, in Greece too) and cereal and it saved us. It was really cheap because it was just normal Italian food and we were able to find it everywhere even in the small towns in cinque terra (which everyone should go to) you can check my post for more comments on where to go. But use Abbie’s list for food.
