Pane e Vino In Milano

I realize that 5 stars might be too many, but this place, and especially the people who run it, deserve it. We wandered in by chance and discovered a true gem right in the historic heart of Milan, in the Carrobbio / Colonne di San Lorenzo area. The owners are incredibly kind and super friendly, welcoming and making you feel right at home. The place is perfect for both aperitifs and lunch/dinner, offering top-quality service in every situation. Excellent menu with a wide selection of quality products. Excellent wine list to satisfy every need. Excellent value for money. As a true Milanese, I had the pleasure of tasting their "cassoeula" and it reminded me of the one my mother used to make... SUPER!!! I discovered this place by chance, but I can say I'll become a regular. Kudos to the owners. 👍👍👍👍👍

I honestly cannot understand the many negative reviews here. Our experience was excellent from start to finish. The food was outstanding, and the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The fact that many Italians dine here speaks for itself and reflects the quality of the restaurant. We started with a bottle of mineral water, which cost only €3 — a very fair price for Milan. As a complimentary starter, we were served a small cabbage salad with white bread, both fresh and very tasty. For our appetizer, we ordered an Insalata Mista, which was also fresh and well-prepared. As a main course, we had the Risotto Milanese — simply outstanding. The texture was perfect, wonderfully creamy, with beautiful flavors of butter, saffron, and Parmesan. Truly delicious. To finish, we enjoyed a very good espresso. We had a lovely table, and the service remained professional and attentive throughout our visit. We especially appreciated that the tables were carefully cleaned, disinfected, and reset after each guest — something we could clearly observe. The next time we are in Milan, we will definitely come back.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious, the wine superb.

Pleasant lunch break with colleagues

Lovely restaurant. Friendly staff. They bring out a welcome drink, bread and welcome starter with the cover charge. The lasagne is great 😃

We walked all over Milan looking for a good place to eat. We passed this place several times because it was a 2 minute walk from our apartment. Turns out, it was the best place to eat in Milan. The wine menu is outstanding and the food is in incredible.

Great welcome and atmosphere! The food is of a very high standard and the wine too...!

It was a wonderful experience. The waiters were lovely, helpful and fun. They accommodated my request of having a dip with foccaccia. We tried the risotto with equine meat and the agnolotti with cacio e pepe and they were both great. They also provided some complementary drinks and starter. The menu options were varied and interesting and worth the price.

Possibly the best dining experience I've ever had, certainly the best in Italy. Myself and my friend arrived at Pane E Vino at 22:15pm, just 45 minutes before they were supposed to close. The few other customers that were there had already received their food and were leaving shortly, and so the staff would have been justified in being slightly annoyed at new customers arriving late. That didn't stop one of the staff members getting the door for us and enthusiastically welcoming us in. He left the wine menu for us but wasn't pushy at all, and then poured the mineralwater for us. The restaurant itself was very clean and elegant, beautifully laid out including the glass windows and spiral staircase, overall a very well-kept place. The 2nd waiter (a half-Russian chap) was very friendly and hilarious, making funny jokes that put us at ease. We were given a welcome drink as well as a small appetiser for free, which was a very pleasant surprise. We weren't too hungry so ordered a portion of garlic bread (only €4) and a pizza (€14) to share. The toilet was standard, however the tap was unfortunately not working. The pizza came quickly and was cut in half and put on two plates for us without us even asking, which was very thoughtful. The pizza (Pizza Tirolese, basically a margharita pizza with speck/schinken) which was "gorgeous"(😁), the olive oil on top being a nice extra touch. The half-Russian waiter continued his excellent service and making us laugh, whatever he's being paid it certainly isn't enough! Afterwards the waitress came over with a selection of desserts for us to choose from, and we chose the classic coffee Tiramasu (€8). This is only minor but I really appreciated her using Italian instead of speaking only English as many would. We paid up and left (cover charge was €3 per person dining), but we'll certainly be back soon as this restaurant ticks all the boxes - superb service, excellent food, and cheap enough prices while maintaining quality in all aspects. The team members at Pane E Vino clearly care about the quality of service they provide, as well as working well together as a team. Credit also to the owner whose hand I shook on the way out.

Good evening, yesterday, January 8, 2026, after seeing photographer Andrea Chierchi's video on Instagram, I wanted to try it and came away with my mouth full and relaxed thanks to the welcome and politeness I received. Thank you and Happy 2026!
