"If you're into wearing workwear solely for fashion purposes—a.k.a. your closet is full of Carhartt WIP and Arc'teryx, but you can't remember the last time you went on a hike—Bicchierino was made for you. In what looks like a half-renovated loft where the party started before the paint dried, dim red light and the glow of fat candles bounce off metal shelves, and guests look like they came from a photo shoot in a hardware store. On the menu are bar snacks that are good enough to turn a quick drink into an all-night hang—think crispy bread, creamy stracciatella, and vegetable dishes with ingredients sourced from the local market. The wine offering leans Italian and idiosyncratic, with sulfur-shy naturals, alpine oddities, and some classics to please everyone. Ask what’s open behind the counter—half the fun is drinking next week’s special before its official debut." - Margaret Ross
"Five young friends opened this austere wine bar in Giambellino, but you’ll probably be greeted by Martina Bellavista, who acts as matron directing guests toward one of the handful of small tables or the large communal table in the back. Bicchierino serves up some of the most deeply satisfying food in Milan, a surprise given there’s no kitchen. A small oven warms artichokes with fresh herbs topped with preserved lemon and Parmigiano and pecorino cream, as well as an Italian take on a roast beef sandwich with anchovy and caper mayonnaise. Cold horse tartare with horseradish and black sesame panna cotta also emerge from behind the six-seat bar, which is usually covered in fresh flowers. Guests can also purchase from a tight list of natural wines from France, Italy, and Spain to take away. Grab a reservation, since Bicchierino is one of the hottest bars in the city at the moment. Vibe check: A lively, young fashion crowd in an otherwise quiet neighborhood." - Elizabeth De Filippo-Jones
