Affinatore
Restaurant · Via Piero della Francesca, 54, 20154 Milano MI, Italia
The numbers at Affinatore take a moment to sink in: more than 90,000 bottles and over 5,000 labels, spanning Italy and far beyond. This elegant, modern restaurant on Via Piero della Francesca pairs that cellar with dry-aged beef sourced from around the world, plus a cigar lounge and valet parking for good measure. Champagne sits at the heart of the list alongside traditional-method sparkling wines, while Barolo, Barbaresco, Burgundy and a strong showing of biodynamic and low-intervention producers give the reds equal depth. Crucially for anyone drinking by the glass, more than 60 wines are poured that way, so exploring the list doesn't require committing to a bottle. For Milanese steak-and-Champagne evenings on a grand scale, few places compete.

Remedy Wine & Spirits
Restaurant · Viale Luigi Majno, 26, 20129 Milano MI, Italia
Remedy Wine & Spirits takes its cues from sophisticated Anglo-Saxon clubs, unfolding over several floors on Viale Luigi Majno: a large tasting room at ground level, a mezzanine and a cigar room above, and below it all a cellar holding 6,000 labels and more than 18,000 bottles, alongside an ageing room for cured meats and cheeses and a private dining space. The list leans hard into Champagne and Burgundy, backed by a broad sweep of Italian producers and a natural-wine contingent. With more than 60 wines available by the glass, this is one of Milan's most generous places to drink seriously without ordering a bottle — the sort of address where an aperitivo can quietly turn into an evening.

Reverso
Restaurant · Via Savona, 17, 20144 Milano MI
One hundred wines by the glass — that figure alone puts Reverso comfortably at the top of Milan's by-the-glass league, well beyond the sixty-plus pours that earn the Guide's highest rating. The founding idea at this Via Savona wine bar is simple: wine should be an experience to repeat, so guests sit down, browse the list and order whatever sparks their curiosity, with no pressure and no rush. Champagne and traditional-method sparkling wines are a natural starting point, but the range wanders happily through Barolo and Barbaresco, the Jura and the Loire, and plenty of off-the-beaten-track bottlings besides. Elegant but genuinely welcoming, with friendly, clued-up service and a kitchen that covers everything from aperitivo to dinner, it makes a persuasive case for the repeat visit.

Top Missori
Restaurant · Piazza Giuseppe Missori, 3, 20123 Milano MI, Italia
Bistrot Top Missori occupies a classic, refined space on Piazza Giuseppe Missori in the heart of Milan, welcoming guests with a blend of elegance and easy familiarity. The kitchen pays contemporary homage to Milanese tradition, but the wine list is the reason it earns a place in any sparkling-wine itinerary: great labels with a particular emphasis on excellent Champagne, poured generously — more than 60 wines are available by the glass, the Guide's top rating. Beyond the bubbles, the selection reaches into Burgundy, Germany, the Jura and the Loire, giving lovers of French and German wine plenty to explore between courses. It is the kind of polished, quietly confident address that suits a long Milanese lunch as well as a glamorous dinner.

Cantina Piemontese
Restaurant · Via Laghetto, 2, 20122 Milano MI
History runs deep at Cantina Piemontese, housed in Ca' dei Tencitt, a historic building on Via Laghetto where soft lighting and refined furnishings lend the old rooms a contemporary polish. As the name promises, Barolo and Barbaresco anchor a cellar of almost 1,000 labels, but the list has a pronounced French accent as well: Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Loire are all well represented, making this as rewarding a stop for a glass of Champagne as for a serious Nebbiolo. The by-the-glass offer stretches to more than 40 pours, so the promised wine journey can be taken one glass at a time. A graceful counterpoint to Milan's more frenetic drinking spots.

Pellico3
Restaurant · Via Silvio Pellico, 3, 20121 Milano MI, Italia
Seasonality sets the rhythm at Pellico3, where chef Guido Paternollo's cooking follows the times of nature inside a bright, welcoming room designed by architect Flaviano Capriotti — its palette of yellow, brown and green a nod to the ingredients in the kitchen. On Via Silvio Pellico in central Milan, it pairs that seasonal sensibility with a wine list in which Champagne and traditional-method sparkling wines play a leading role, supported by Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Barolo and Bordeaux. The by-the-glass selection runs past forty wines, generous enough to match a different pour to each course as the menu moves with the seasons. A refined choice for anyone who likes their bubbles served with architectural pedigree.

10_11
Restaurant · Via Sant'Andrea, 10, 20121 Milano MI, Italia
Two entrances, two moods: at 10_11 in the Quadrilatero, guests arrive either through Via Sant'Andrea 10, intimate and elegant, or Corso Venezia 11, open and lively — a design that deliberately connects two souls of Milan. Set within the architecture of the former Seminary, the space folds bar, garden, restaurant and colonnade into one eclectic whole, open from morning through to after dinner. The wine list keeps the same dual spirit, with Champagne and Chardonnay for the aperitivo hour and Barolo, Barbaresco and Super-Tuscans when the evening settles in. Between 20 and 40 wines are poured by the glass, a manageable, well-chosen spread rather than an intimidating tome. For a glass of Champagne in a garden minutes from the fashion district, it takes some beating.

Acanto
Restaurant · Piazza della Repubblica, 17, 20124 Milano MI, Italia
Few private dining rooms in Milan glitter quite like Acanto's, wrapped in Swarovski crystals for guests who want their gourmet experience fully personalised. The main restaurant, on Piazza della Repubblica, is a sophisticated, light-filled space that brings a natural charm to the rituals of fine dining. Sparkling wine is a genuine strength of the list: Champagne leads, joined — unusually for Milan — by English sparkling wine and other traditional-method bottles, while Burgundy, Barolo and a thread of organic and biodynamic producers deepen the still selection. The by-the-glass offer runs to between 20 and 40 wines, ample room to open with English fizz and finish with Nebbiolo. An elegant landmark stop on any tour of the city's grander drinking rooms.

Bottiglieria Bulloni
Wine Bar · Via Lipari, 2, 20144 Milano MI, Italia
Since 1933, Bottiglieria Bulloni has been pouring wine on Via Lipari, and the years show in the best possible way — this is old-school Milan, a historic bottle shop and wine bar rolled into one. Some 1,500 labels are on hand, available to take away or to drink on the spot, accompanied by delicious plates. Italian wine is the backbone, but the sparkling side is taken seriously too, with Champagne and traditional-method Italian bubbles both well represented. Twenty to forty wines are open by the glass at any time, which for a neighbourhood bottiglieria of this vintage is a quietly impressive commitment. Come for a glass of fizz at the counter and leave with a bottle under your arm — that is rather the point.

Excelsior Hotel Gallia
Restaurant · Piazza Duca d'Aosta, 9, 20124 Milano MI, Italia
Grand-hotel drinking at its most polished: the Excelsior Hotel Gallia, on Piazza Duca d'Aosta opposite Milano Centrale, gathers several prestigious restaurants and bars under one roof, with chef Vincenzo Lebano cooking alongside the three-Michelin-starred Cerea family in a style that marries Italian and Mediterranean tradition with modern creativity. The wine lists across the hotel's outlets are overseen by internationally renowned sommelier Paolo Porfidio, and they read accordingly — Champagne in depth, then Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsace and a considered detour through California. Between 20 and 40 wines are poured by the glass, enough to move from a flute of Champagne at the bar to a serious Barolo at dinner without opening a bottle. A fitting first or last glass in the city for anyone arriving by rail.

Langosteria
Restaurant · Via Savona, 10, 20144 Milano MI
“Taste, refinement and rhythm” is how Langosteria describes itself, and the Via Savona address delivers on all three — fine dining born in Italy that pairs tradition with a contemporary, international outlook. From the moment guests cross the threshold, the atmosphere does its work: refined, distinctive and surprising every time, yet built for convivial, relaxed occasions rather than hushed reverence. The wine list mirrors the food's poise, majoring on Champagne, Burgundy and the best of Italy — the classic trio for this style of dining. A focused 20 to 40 wines by the glass keeps decisions easy without limiting ambition, whether the mood calls for bubbles or Burgundy. In a city that dresses up for dinner, this remains one of Milan's most assured tables.

Non la Solita Vineria
Wine Bar · Via Orti, 4, 20122 Milano MI, Italia
The name translates as “not the usual wine bar”, and the room on Via Orti backs up the claim: exposed brick, big windows, a wooden ceiling and metal shelving stacked with labels, striking a confident balance between urban design and tradition. This is contemporary Milan drinking without the fuss — a place to pull up a seat and work through a list that leans on Champagne, Burgundy and Italian producers. The by-the-glass selection sits in the 20-to-40 range, tight enough to be navigable, broad enough that regulars keep finding something new on the shelf. For anyone mapping the city's sparkling-wine spots beyond the marble-and-chandelier circuit, this is a refreshingly modern counterpoint, and all the better for it.

Ristorante Berton
Restaurant · Via Mike Bongiorno, 13, 20124 Milano MI, Italia
Restraint is the signature at Ristorante Berton, where a modern, linear dining room on Via Mike Bongiorno mirrors the essential, contemporary philosophy of the kitchen. Elegant and rigorous, the space is arranged so that a glass wall lets guests discreetly follow the movements of the brigade at work, while a private lounge with a wall screen handles events and working dinners. The wine list follows the same clear logic: Champagne for lift, Barolo and Barbaresco for gravitas, and a well-chosen sweep of Italian producers in between. With 20 to 40 wines served by the glass, it is easy to open with Champagne and travel through Piedmont without committing to bottles. Precise, composed and quietly confident — much like the cooking it accompanies.

Verso Capitaneo
Restaurant · P.za del Duomo, 21, 20121 Milano MI, Italia
On Piazza del Duomo, Verso Capitaneo holds two Michelin stars yet keeps things pleasantly informal, dissolving the boundary between kitchen and dining room. Three chef's tables sit right around the stoves, giving guests a front-row view of raw ingredients being transformed and an ongoing, open dialogue with the brigade. The wine list rewards that intimacy: Champagne takes pride of place, with Burgundy, Bordeaux, German wines and fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir filling out a Francophile-leaning selection. Between 20 and 40 wines are available by the glass — room enough to follow the kitchen's twists with a matching pour. Few places in Milan let you watch two-star cooking at arm's length with a glass of Champagne in hand, metres from the cathedral itself.

Beefbar
Restaurant · Corso Venezia, 11, 20121 Milano MI, Italia
Housed in a former seminary between Corso Venezia and Via Sant'Andrea, Beefbar Milano wears its setting lightly: an elegant, contemporary bar-restaurant with a glamorous yet welcoming atmosphere. The wine selection is international in scope but gives particular attention to Italian labels, with Barolo and Barbaresco alongside Bordeaux, Argentine reds and — of interest to bubble-hunters — a proper showing of Champagne and traditional-method sparkling wine. The by-the-glass offer is compact, but that is exactly why the Guide rates it a Hidden Gem: a small selection chosen with genuine inspiration rather than a long list padded for show. Come at aperitivo hour, take a glass of Champagne in those seminary surroundings, and the appeal makes itself obvious. One of the Quadrilatero's more unexpected pleasures.

Nobu Milan
Restaurant · Via Gastone Pisoni, 1, 20121 Milano MI, Italia
Minimalist Armani style meets Japanese aesthetics at Nobu Milan, where the pared-back interior on Via Gastone Pisoni sets the stage for an authentic Nobu-style gastronomic experience. The wine list is more adventurous than the serene room might suggest: Champagne and Burgundy share space with Barolo and Barbaresco, and there is a notable seam of organic, biodynamic and even orange wines for drinkers who like their pairings less conventional. The by-the-glass range is small, but the Guide's Hidden Gem rating signals what matters — every pour is genuinely inspirational, chosen to work with the food rather than to pad a page. A glass of Champagne alongside Nobu-style cooking, in one of Milan's calmest dining rooms, is a quietly brilliant way to start an evening in the city.
