Lively Bicocca hangout for piadine, beers, and aperitivo; tasty and affordable, but service can be slow and aperitivo portions vary.
Je Suis Jambon delivers solid casual dining with strong piadina execution and excellent craft beer curation that justify its loyal following in Bicocca. However, inconsistent aperitivo portions and occasional service lapses during peak hours, combined with tight interior seating, prevent it from reaching higher territory. The lively outdoor piazza setting and friendly staff make it a worthwhile neighborhood destination, though not a cross-city draw.
This Bicocca staple hums with lively aperitivo energy: clinking glasses, craft beers, and stacks of warm piadine sliding to outdoor tables on the piazza. A guest summed it up as, "good drinks, friendly team, and a peaceful corner off the road." Expect a casual crowd and friendly but stretched service when it is busy. In the kitchen, the approach is classic and comforting rather than flashy. Piadine lead the charge with regional cheeses, grilled veg, and cured meats, plus taglieri for sharing and small tiramisu pots to finish. Beers get real attention and pair well with the salty-savoury fillings; aperitivo can be a deal, though portions vary and some evenings feel lean. Families will find kid-approachable choices like simple cheese piadine (Ifigenia, Saffo) and Nutella piadina for dessert. Outdoor seating helps with strollers. There is no kids menu, and the space inside can feel tight, so aim for the piazza tables when possible.
