What people say
Chelsea Papa
"Cantina Isola in Paolo Sarpi is well stocked up and is one of the best wine cellars in the city, plus a great place for an aperitivo.
Begin your night at Cantine Isola, a wine bar founded in 1896–with an old-school interior to match. Youkilis says it’s hands-down the best place to drink in Milan. You can order any wine off the shelf by the glass, including those from high-end producers like Emidio Pepe or Valentini. To choose a wine, peruse the wall lined with bottle shelves and read the tickets under each shelf to make your choice. The bar is located in Chinatown, across the street from a great dumpling place called Ravioleria Sarpi. Bonus: Cantine Isola welcomes patrons to bring food into the bar. the bar offers a range of wines for any drinker, from low-intervention options to traditional wines, at a variety of price points. For the classic Cantine Isola experience, enjoy a glass at the standing bar while snacking on the aperitivo spread.
The most important thing to know about this wine bar and shop is that it's been going strong since 1896. Do a DIY wine-tasting at the counter, washing it down with the tasty bar snacks. On Tuesdays it's poetry night, and every month there's a special event to toast the opening of a new arrival."
