A bit of a letdown. I was looking for a few interesting bottles of Italian stuff to take home with me but outside of a lot of Baladin the Italian selection was rather small. WAY behind Johnny’s Off License, for instance. On the other hand the range of Belgians was amazing. Despite that, it’s one of those places where you get the feeling there’s got to be some amazing rarity hidden on the back of the shelves. It’s a quiet little place, the lady was lovely and we reached a mutual understanding that we were unable communicate satisfactorily in either’s chosen language rather quickly.

Nice beer selection, but there is too much merchandising.

Excellent selection of Italian craft beer and Belgian ales. Good selection of glassware and other beer collectibles. They also carry home brewing supplies. I have been going there for years.

Historical and excellent beer shop in the center of Milan. Flavia is one of the most passionate and expert in Italy...

amazing beer selection and an amazingly rich store experience. reminds me of some of the great beer stores in belgium. selection of obscure italian beer will satisfy the beer explorer who wants to become more familiar with the emerging, exciting and experimental brewing scene in italy. wonderful store that should not be missed by any serious beer traveler. lady at the counter didn’t know much english but was still very helpful, and you can manage to determine what the beer is (or come close) by checking the ABV and reading the italian ingredients list assuming you can handle some simple italian translation. i spent much more than i anticipated.

Small shop not notisable when closed. Helpfull staff but no english spoken. Web-site not up to date. Of the 20 beers I wanted only apr. 5 was avalible. But there were plenty of others to get. Really nice Italiena micro selection. Went with family so only spent 20 min getting my ration of 15-20 large beers. If you search countries just around the corner there is a southamerican kiosk with beers from Peru, Colombia, Argentina and more.

Great shop off the Porta Venezia metro stop with a friendly and educated woman running the show. Tiny tiny shop but stocked from floor to ceiling with an extensive Belgian selection mingled with British, French and some German beers. Has quite a selection of Christmas ales. Also has a medium sized collection of glassware for purchase and bar mats. I believe she even carries some home brewing supplies. Was surprised that they didn’t carry anything from Birrificio Italiano from Como, she explained they were too expensive which I found odd since her store carries very expensive beers. The place is run by Flavia and her husband who were written up in a recent New York Times article on Italian craft beers and the up and coming Italian microbreweries. A great place to browse and a must see for those living in Milan.
