Messervino In Varese

The owner is knowledgeable and very friendly, and the quality products are paired with excellent wines. A special mention goes to the cicchetti, which are delicious.

It turned out to be a great place to enjoy a glass of wine with friends, ideal for those who want something refined but unpretentious. We washed it all down with a couple of cicchetti: one with blue cheese and raspberry sauce, the other with stracciatella, anchovies, and lime. Truly devastating, the pairings were successful and anything but banal 😋 You can tell they paid attention to both quality and pairings; they managed to create a nice contrast in flavors. The staff is very friendly and can also offer good wine recommendations, although the second time I was there, they sometimes missed us for at least a quarter of an hour. Perhaps a little more attention would be needed. It's nice to see how a bond develops between bartender and customer in a bar; it makes for a more welcoming experience. We chose two reds: an Austrian Bruckner St. Laurent 2019, very rounded and pleasant to drink, and a Tuscan ATRIVM Orcia DOC Sangiovese, also interesting and well-balanced. The place is small but quiet, near Piazza della Motta, well-designed and with an intimate atmosphere that lends itself well to a leisurely chat over a good glass. Recommended for a relaxed, quality aperitivo, unlike any other.

A perfect downtown venue for a pleasant evening: excellent location and easy to get to. The knowledgeable and friendly staff are always ready to offer professional advice. The Venetian cicchetti are wonderful, a must-try!

Small but top-notch! Sit back with a good wine and prepare to discover and be surprised by the cicchetti! Each one better than the last! A must-try!

Wide selection of quality wines with excellent cicchetti! Highly recommended!

There were many of us and unfortunately we had little time to fully appreciate the aperitif... but the owners were very efficient.
