When the days grow shorter, the desire to gather around the table grows. And it's precisely now that our new autumn–winter menu arrives: a selection in true Mr.Vino style, made for sharing and — naturally — paired with the right wine, by the glass.

Autumn on the plate

The season comes into the kitchen with its truest flavors. The Pumpkin Vellutata with stracciatella and toasted almond crumble warms you from the very first spoonful; the Cacio & Porcini, a mille-feuille of porcini with potato chips, caciocavallo cream and Parmigiano, is pure autumn indulgence. And for those who love to be daring, our signature pairing of mushrooms and chocolate is back: in the Choco-Mushrooms (porcini soup, stracciatella and dark chocolate flakes) and the Scialatielli Terra-Mar, with porcini, shrimp tartare and dark chocolate. On the Primi front, the Calamarata di Cinghiale with ragù and sultanas is the dish that tastes of the forest and a crackling fireplace.

Little things to share

The beauty of Mr.Vino remains the same: you order plenty, put everything in the middle, and taste a bit of everything. From Taglieri of cured meats and cheeses to the Bruschetta Trio, from salmon and beef Tartare to Baccalà Mantecato on pane carasau, all the way to house-made nachos and guacamole. And on Tuesdays, tacos get a night all to themselves: our Taco Tuesday, with live music.

Wine, always by the glass

Every dish has its glass: thanks to Coravin, you can switch wines with every course and even try the label you would never have ordered by the bottle. Taste it by the glass. If it wins you over, take it home. And to finish on a sweet note, the wine list offers three gems for slow sipping — the Passito Gocce di Sole (Valetti, Veneto), the Anonymous (Tacoli Asquini, Friuli) and the late-harvest Aurum Vietus (Masseria, Piemonte) — perhaps alongside a mini Sicilian cannolo or an Affogato Ferrini.
