An informal wine bar on Via Melzo in Porta Venezia, the casual offshoot of restaurant Røst, set in a 1960s shop reimagined by Vudafieri-Saverino Partners with a warm, design-forward feel. The menu leans on pintxos-style bites and grilled dishes paired with a curated list of natural wines, making it an easy spot for sharing plates and a glass.
A small, minimalist bistro and natural-wine shop at Via Pasquale Sottocorno 1, behind Piazza Cinque Giornate in Milan's Porta Vittoria. Known for sharing plates built on a zero-waste circular-kitchen approach with house fermentations, paired with natural wines; holds a Michelin Plate.
An acclaimed pizzeria and wine cellar at Piazza Cardinal Massaia in Milan, from pizzaiolo Francesco Capece and sommelier Mario Ventura. Known for 72-hour-fermented type-1-flour dough, tasting menus and a serious wine list, with top rankings from 50 Top Pizza.
A modern Milan osteria on Via Nino Bixio that skips the rigid appetizer-first-second-dessert format, letting guests order freely and putting honest Italian ingredients front and center. The room is striking, with high ceilings and a green, beige and deep-red palette, and it serves mainly dinner with Saturday lunch as well, so reservations are recommended.
A modern restaurant in Milan's Corso Lodi district where chef Mariasole Cuomo blends Italian ingredients with Asian and Nordic techniques, building dishes around house-made fermentations like miso, kombucha and shoyu. The menu rotates every couple of months across 4- or 7-course tastings, paired with natural wines in a warm, minimalist room, so booking ahead is wise.
