At the Duomo end of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, is best known by its original name, "the Camparino." It holds the dubious distinction of having introduced Italy to what has become the country's ubiquitous red cordial, Campari, a visciously red liquid that tastes like hair tonic even when cut with soda water, as is traditional. You can sample one—along with a selection of light dishes to wipe the taste off your tongue (as you might gather, I'm not a fan of the popular Campari-soda)—while lingering at the tables set up in the Galleria with a bit of Duomo facade view, or in one of the art nouveau rooms inside.
