Recently,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
discovering
a
hidden
culinary
treasure
in
the
heart
of
Milan
–
Cantina
Piemontese.
This
cozy
and
discreet
restaurant,
tucked
away
from
the
bustling
streets,
immediately
charmed
me
with
its
inviting
atmosphere.
The
interior
design
was
a
work
of
art,
but
what
truly
fascinated
me
was
the
enchanting
underground
floor.
Our
attentive
waiter
regaled
us
with
the
fascinating
history
of
this
space,
once
used
as
a
charcoal
deposit.
It
added
a
layer
of
magic
to
our
dining
experience,
making
it
truly
memorable.
Conveniently
located
in
the
city
center,
just
a
short
stroll
from
the
iconic
Duomo,
Cantina
Piemontese
offers
both
locals
and
tourists
an
accessible
oasis
of
gastronomic
delight.
The
service
was
exemplary,
with
our
waiter
skillfully
guiding
us
through
the
menu,
sharing
insights
about
ingredients,
and
suggesting
wine
pairings
tailored
to
our
tastes,
rather
than
simply
considering
the
price
tag.
It
was
a
true
art,
and
our
waiter
was
a
master
of
his
craft.
The
food
surpassed
mere
excellence;
it
was
a
culinary
masterpiece.
Each
dish
was
not
just
a
creation
but
a
work
of
genius.
The
quality
of
the
ingredients
was
unmistakable
in
every
bite.
I
opted
for
a
Mediterranean
dinner,
a
symphony
of
seafood
flavors
that
danced
on
my
palate.
Dining
outdoors
in
late
August
was
a
delight,
with
a
refreshing
atmosphere
that
perfectly
complemented
the
flavors
of
the
food,
even
though
we
had
to
contend
with
a
few
pesky
mosquitoes.
To
accompany
our
meal,
we
selected
a
bottle
of
wine
recommended
by
our
waiter,
and
it
turned
out
to
be
a
perfect
companion
to
our
dinner.
In
the
end,
the
entire
experience
at
Cantina
Piemontese
was
nothing
short
of
amazing,
and
it
has
firmly
earned
its
place
among
my
top
dining
spots
in
Milan.
While
the
bill
totaled
approximately
160
euros
for
a
two-person
dinner
with
a
40
euro
bottle
of
wine,
it
felt
entirely
justified
considering
the
exceptional
overall
experience.
In
summary,
Cantina
Piemontese
is
a
hidden
gem
in
Milan,
a
culinary
treasure
trove
waiting
to
be
unearthed.
With
its
charming
ambiance,
impeccable
service,
and
extraordinary
cuisine,
it
promises
an
experience
that
will
linger
in
your
memory
long
after
the
meal
is
over.
