N'Ombra de Vin

This was a chance find and seemingly popular hangout for locals and tourists. There is a good wine selection and the place is well known for their cold cuts and cheese. The downside here is that we had an unpleasant experience with the staff. We were walk ins with no reservations and moved around a couple of times despite there being plenty of unreserved tables available. The bill was presented to us whilst we were only half way through our bottle of wine, and we felt rushed to finish. Not the best experience

I really loved the atmosphere of this place. Everyone is hanging out in front of the restaurant with a glass of wine, chatting and enjoying themselves; and the crowd is great. The restaurant uses high; quality drinks, and I’ll definitely come back every time I visit Milan!

The place is nice, the food is good, but the staff is very rude. If you are not knows because a regular guest, you won't find a way to be seated during sunset.

One of my absolute favorite spots in Milano! The wine selection is great and there’s non-alcohol option too! Amazing atmosphere and great place to have friends and chat. Live music was going on too! Miss this place sm

What a lovely place to spend a cold winter evening! Me and my friend enjoyed this place so much. We ordered a bottle of wine and a cheese board which was very good. And my friend loved the peeled almonds I took a pic just to see if I can find it somewhere else :))

A must-visit when in Milano! The Aperitivo is amazing however I recommend reservations

This place is a good choice for a date, a special celebration or even for casual night out. You can sit outside or go downstairs which has more warmness and a special athmosphere. They have plenty wine options and the waiter helped us pick by letting us taste some of them. They give olives and almonds as side which were very tasty. We didn’t order but their dishes looked delicious as well. A little pricy but worth it.

What a disappointment. Went on a Saturday night at 6p. Only two customers sitting outside and we were told the tables were reserved and we could sit at the end of the outside area. Really?! Seat cushions had cigarette burns. Bad attitude of bald waiter. On busy street. Not a very impressive wine collection. We left. Went around the corner and found another bar.

Ordered a bottle of red wine to drink in the cellar with a few friends. Very cool atmosphere in the 13th century church basement. Wine was both reasonable and of great quality. Service was friendly and helpful when our first choice was unavailable. A great place to socialize with friends or have a date night. We didn't have dinner or appetizers, but they do have a full menu. The outside terrace was packed on the night we were there since it was beautiful weather.

Ridiculously overpriced for quality and quantity of food served. The quantity of food on the plates is embarrassing. Arrogant waiters with no savoir-faire. The one star is for the excellent Prosecco.

Good food, nothing extraordinary. Wine menu is short but very good northern Italian wine selection. Had a flight of Spumante, Bianco and Rosso. Very nice atmosphere... They have lots of wine on the shelves, and you can even buy them. Inquired about showing to the U.S., it's about 250 euro to ship 6 bottles!

I found N'Ombra de Vin to be overrated. We were a group of 20 people on a Tuesday night, meaning you would think they would have appreciated our business during a slow day. Went in around 8PM initially for prosecco and then moving on to white wine. First impression: it's expensive. There are no wines for under €40 a bottle. In Italy, that's a high threshold. Fine, I guess, if the service is great. But no. The space was amazing, but the servers refused to even mention the name of the wines (despite ordering more than 5 bottles), much less explain anything about it. Maybe it's me, maybe it's not, but if I go in with a large group on a slow day to an expensive place, I expect to be treated better than usual. Overall, you're paying for the location and rare wines on the list. If you're just going for low-to-mid-range wine, NOT recommended.

We came here based on a suggestion, and in good turn, I bring this suggestion to you. We came at 5pm and did not leave until we were kicked out from the table because of preexisting reservations. But by that point, we were sufficiently happy with our experience here and besides, it was time to do more eating and less drinking. We came here for pre-dinner drinks. We initially ordered a bottle of Prosecco and munched on all the delicious snacks the wait staff kept bringing out- nuts, spreads, olives, pizza, cheese, etc. However, after some time we kept noticing the bartender sending out a peachy-pink drink in a wine glass...The Aperol Spritzer. After finishing the Prosecco, we immediately switched to the Spritzer. It is Aperol mixed with Prosecco over ice, served with a lemon wedge. They were great. Initially, the place was quiet when we arrived. But by the end of our boozing, the place was a hot spot. The place for the beautiful people but it is age appropriate. No kids. No teenagers. Just adults enjoying the evening and having a drink. I was told most people come here before going out for an evening of dancing and foolishness. The service is pretty good even when it got incredibly busy. The decor is stylish and chic. We sat upstairs but make sure to take a trip downstairs. Its super cool. It looks like a massive wine cellar complete with arches overhead. We did not get a chance to try the regular food menu. However, if it is anything like the aperativo...i'm sure its delicious. Gives me an excuse to go back. They need to make happy hours in the US similar to the Italian style.

Waiters kicked us out by breaking glass bottles in a bin. This was 45 minutes before their scheduled close time. I can't tell you have horrifying it was. Find a bar where you'll be treated nicely.

I completely love this place - I am literarily IN LOVE with it. Ever since the first time I stepped down the stairs to meet the gigantic wine cellar in the basement I know where to find heaven on earth. N'ombra de vin was my first introduction to what a real burrata should taste like. Served with honey and grapefruit this symphony of tastes never gets old. TRY IT! Actually I have sort of mixed feelings about writing this review - N'ombra de vin is the kind of secret you would like to keep for your self. But like a great wine, it's always better when you share it with friends and others who know how to appreciate the good things in life. ... and at N'ombra, there's lots of wine;)

Fun wine bar with great drinks and great service. The aperativo was amazing. Perfect pre meal drink. The ambiance is modern and the service was great. The drinks came with so much food, more than you would get at any bar. All in all, great place in Milan

Unreasonably expensive !!! Staf talking with customers rude that we should thank them, that we have a chance to be here! A bottle of wine, the cheapest, costs 40 €! Questionable quality and with their corporate label! All the wines from one tank! Place sucked from the finger. Do not go and you do not advise

Fantastic wine selection! Milan happy hour is such a great concept! If you go around 4-6 pm they'll bring out lots of little plates of snacks along with your wine! I was there on a beautiful day and was lucky to snag a seat outside. The wine selection was amazing - wish I could have had dinner there! A worthwhile stop indeed!

My friends and I had a wonderful time. We had an 8:30 dinner reservation and ended up staying past 1... we started with a drink/aperitivo, then progressed to dinner, then more drinks. The mains range from 15 to 35 euro and the cheapest bottle of wine is 40 euro, so it can be a little pricy. We loved the music mix as well as the atmosphere of the wine cellar. As someone else mentioned, it was a chill crowd of people in their mid-20's to 30's with a few older as well (nice change from the college town I'm used to). 3 out of 4 of us loved our dishes - the chicken curry was fantastic. Around 10:30/11 it got a bit darker, the music got a bit louder, and more people filed in. We enjoyed our table spot and being able to get up and dance as well. Overall had a really fun night here!

this restaurant looks incredible when you step inside. it's basically a large wine cellar and you can't help but drink amazing wine all night. the food is classic italian and incredible. turns into a club atmosphere later in the evening. already want to go back.
