The food was ok but very small portions fo a Italian restaurant. Very expensive for what was served. $15 for a class of wine at that low caliber atmosphere is ridiculous!

Very disappointed in the carbpnara. Maybe the cook had no clue. It was dry and underseasoned. I'm pretty sure it was missing the pasta water too make it creamy and no garlic with the bacon and no salt. I picked it up. If I was in the resturant I would have sent it back.

The place is a local neighborhood gem. It has traditional Italian food that you would expect. The place gives the small-town vibe like many places in Italy. There is a bar there and many bottles of wine are available to choose from. It's near the LBX. The bread is baked fresh, Caesar salad is good, and I enjoyed the linguine and clams.

So delicious!!!
We wanted a homey, cozy dinner, but didn’t feel like cooking. We ordered takeout: lasagna and the chicken with mushroom. Ready for pick up in 25 minutes and traveled well - so tasty. Absolutely hit the spot.

My friends and I were very impressed by how good everything was (5/5 STARS = APPETIZERS + DINNERS + DESSERTS) and it taste like authentic food. I have been going here since 2015, every food item I have ever ordered here has been amazing. The only things to change over the past 10 years is the service (which is faster now) plus there is more seating now, making this a very nice place to have a sit down for dinner. I highly recommend for those looking for great italian food!

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.

We like to try new restaurants, and we are always looking for gluten-free options, and Vino E Cucina exceeded our expectations, from the wine list to the very tasty food and superb service. We highly recommend it!!!

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.
