We dined at Vino e Cucina for dinner, arriving at 5:30 PM hoping to beat the Saturday crowd—but clearly, many had the same idea. The place was warm, cozy, and quite full, creating a lively yet welcoming atmosphere for our meal.
The burrata e prosciutto was absolutely wonderful. The creamy mozzarella paired perfectly with the fresh arugula and Parma prosciutto, making it a standout starter. The scoglio, a seafood pasta with linguine, mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, and scallops in a lightly spicy tomato sauce, was satisfying and flavorful. However, the bolognese was underwhelming. While the fettuccine noodles were cooked well, the tomato beef ragout lacked depth and complexity. A touch of Worcestershire sauce, soy, or more Italian herbs could have elevated its flavor. For dessert, we had the tiramisu. While it was good, it could have been exceptional with a stronger espresso or coffee flavor and perhaps more rum, as the richness was slightly lacking.
The service was attentive, and the overall experience was pleasant. While a couple of dishes could be improved, the restaurant has a lot of potential, and we’re curious to try more items from their menu in the future.

I have eaten here many times. The food is always excellent, authentic and well crafted. The wine list is always good and Lorenzo mixes it up and makes great recommendations. Anyway, it’s a fabulous place and I’d recommend it.

A fantastic Northern Italian restaurant with a great selection of wines and excellent cuisine.
Their rotating specials and tasting (essentially, a 3-course dinner) menus keep their offerings varied with every visit.
While certainly a bit on the pricey side for the servings offered, the quality of ingredients and preparation make it well worth it - especially if one is craving Northern Italian cuisine.
Sadly, no Horse or Rabbit on the menu, so I'll have to get my fill of that next time I visit Milan haha.

Save your self some money and do not order the Carbonara. Expect a ball of mush. Been to Napoli and ate the real thing. Worst meal I've had in a long time!

5⭐s all the way around! The food, the wine, the coffee, desert, service & ambiance. Rosario and the rest of the crew make it feel like you're dining at a families table. If you're looking for good Italian, you found it! Give them s try, you won't regret it. The fillet was cooked perfectly, my carbonara was so good & if you like tiramisu... Mmh! So good!!

My wife and I had dinner here the first time. I had the Cantadina with Italian sausage, and she had the Tortellini Boscaiola. The Cantadina was to die for. The tortellini, on the other hand, was good but too salty for either of us.The waitress asks if we we're finished. We said yes. She then asked why we had left so much of the tortellini on the plate. Originally, I said I just wasn't in the mood for it. She then asked if there was a reason I wasn't in "the mood." I said it was a little salty for my taste. She said we want to make things right for you if you didn't like it. In the end, she gave us desert & a whole serving of the Cantadina to take home no charge.You just don't get service on that level anymore.
Absolutely the best! You can't beat the service or the food. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about wine and does specialty pairings monthly. It is one of our favorite places to eat.
Great service, but the food was disappointing given the other reviews and price. The bread seemed very homemade in a bad way, hah. Like they used the wrong flour or overkneaded it… it was crumbly like stale cornbread with no real crust. The other food was ok. Maybe we just picked the wrong thing from the menu or the cook had an off night.

Came in on December 2nd 2023, and currently have a reservation February 17th 2024. We went in on Saturday the 2nd of December for a date night and did not have a reservation however Lorenzo still greeted us and fit us in the dining room. Very friendly staff and the recommendations were ON POINT. Everything we ordered was magnificent and you can tell the quality just by the taste and that everything was made from scratch. Loved the food and I have had crème brûlée at hundreds of restaurants from around the world and I can confidently say, this place serves by far the best crème brûlée I have had! 10/10 and I can’t wait to come back!
