Cantine Isola

Family-run wine bar in Chinatown with superb Lombard wines by the glass

Address Via Paolo Sarpi 30, 20154 Milan
Opening Hours Mon–Sat 09:00–14:00, 17:00–21:00; closed Sun

A tiny, beloved wine bar in Milan's Chinatown/Isola area, jammed floor-to-ceiling with bottles and run by the same family for decades. One of the best places in the city to drink Lombard and natural wines by the glass, with a loyal local crowd and no pretension. The selection skews Italian, with particular depth in Piedmont and Lombardy.

Cash only, standing room at the bar, and it fills up fast after 18:00. Go on a weekday if you can.
