Enoteca La Cocota — Restaurant in Milan

I would give Cocota all the stars you allow me to give. They made me feel at home and the food took me back home. Célia and Enzo, who run the place, are two of the best people you will find anywhere. They are also experts on what they do. Célia served us some feijoada that took me back home to Brazil and a perfectly cooked tagliolini al tartufo that was wholeheartedly approved by my Italian girlfriend and mother in law. Enzo served us some of the fantastic wine produced by his own cantine in Trento and Tuscany, plus some other excellent Tuscan reds. He also poured some outstanding passito and a mind-blowing rum from the Philippines. Besides all their expertise, Célia and Enzo manage to make their place like their living room. The vibe is laid back, friendly, inviting. We felt at home and we had a blast. I’ll be back whenever I’m in Milan. Heck, I’ll miss them...

He also boasted an extensive range of unusual shots which we had fun trying to understand and explain to each other with the language barrier - we tried camomile infused whiskey, hay flavoured liquor and blackberry flavoured liquor. This is a lovely inviting place, and given the quality, very...

We arrived in time for an aperitivo. The wine was superb and the food delightful. I will definitely be back, again and...
