These pics come from Milan’s wine bar “Le Barrique”, a sophisticated little spot not far from Parco Sempione and the Piccolo Teatro.
In a side street called via Anfiteatro, that leads onto via Legnano, you’ll find “Le Barrique”: a bar, wine shop and restaurant in one.
There used to be a car parts shop here once, but seven years the owners saw the possiblity of opening a wine shop, when they then decided to open the ground floor of this traditional building for a new restaurant in Milan.
The interior is characterised by warm wooden floors, and a large classic bar, with bare brick walls and arches to the ceiling.
The chairs are comfortable and the bar can easily hold 25 people, though you’re more likely to find it hopping with 40 to 50 customers during special events.
Bottles of wine everywhere decorate the place, along with more curious decorations such as metallic ties and artist prints.
We had a chat with Alessandro, sommelier and founder of “Le Barrique”.
See after the jump for the interview.
