N'Ombra de Vin

Milan


Set in the atmospheric surrounds of a one-time Augustine refectory, this enoteca (wine bar) gets packed with an older upmarket kind of crowd, especially on weekends. Choose from an enormous selection of Italian and French wines, along with coveted Krug champagnes. They go nicely with cold cuts from the in-house salumeria (delicatessen) and tapas-style dishes such as caviar and tartare.
