The bar is bright with marble tables and bottles on the wall, ready to be chosen and opened to enjoy. During the day, it is open for selling bottles, and early in the evening for aperitifs. I go there to find a small piece of Paris in the heart of Milan. The staff is kind and always willing to let you try a glass of rare Champagne.
