"This 16th-century church refectory turned subterranean bar-restaurant in Brera is your spot for aperitivo. Tables and a few bar seats fill up quickly in the moody cavernous space, and at sunset, the chic after-work crowd sits on the street, glasses in hand. Downstairs, groups of friends order salumi boards and lots of bottles, their voices traveling across the tall vaulted ceiling and bouncing off thousands of for-sale reds, whites, and bubbles that line the walls. Skip the food and go straight for the mixed salumi board and cheese plate. " - elizabeth de filippo jones
