The cocktails are inventive, elevated, and layered with thought, yet the atmosphere is relaxed and elevated while also unpretentious. Andrea, the owner, is part mad scientist (he has his chemistry set in the front window) and part storyteller. He crafts flavor profiles with house-made natural extracts that feel both novel and perfectly balanced. We had a blast geeking out with him about spirits while Satish and the rest of the team kept the night lively with warm hospitality and a bit of history woven into every pour. The naturally flavored home made welcome apertif and little bites were a charming touch, but the real highlight was realizing this wasn't just a drink, it was a total experience. Tonight's serendipitous nightcap was magical and we'll be back... again and again.

I'm writing this review to talk about the small plate of treats they offered us while we sat at the bar: * Tomato w/ ricotta cheese: As expected, good quality ricotta. The tomato was nice and light. Overall, what you see is what you taste. * Zucchini w/ dab of tomato sauce on top: Very light and simple. Not much flavor from the sauce but I think the zucchini is meant to lead here. * Shrimp w/ avocado cream: Absolutely my favorite. Soft and sweet! * Bufula mozzarella: PERFECT temperature. Mozzarella shell is not restrictive at all.

Served with a few munchies (no Milanese "aperitivo", you mind: this is a pre or post dinner place, or you can order from the full restaurant menu) and a glass of iced water (not American size and no refill was offered though). The prices are high even for Milan standards but 15 euros for a well crafted cocktail in a stylish location is well spent for me. Small and cozy, gentle music, not crowded. Will be back, oh yeah.

We picked L'oca Ubriaca over the restaurant opposite and we weren't disappointed! Behind the reasonably small frontage lies a little spot of heaven. I adored the decor; a mixture of exposed brickwork, beautiful (if not a little random) paintings of parrots and then cold industrial ventilation, strip lighting and metalwork. We chose a table upstairs on the balcony and were quickly attended to by the waiter. Unfortunately we don't speak Italian and he didn't speak English so I can't really comment too much on the standard of service but he was friendly about it rather than annoyed. After a quick translation of a menu with a phrase book we plumped for a panini each. I couldn't really decipher the rest of the menu but of the few other customers also eating their dishes looked amazing! The food was prepared at the bar, it arrived quickly and was reasonably delicious. Hard to be blown away by a sandwich but the ingredients were fresh and I was happy. The only gripe would be that the bathroom seemed a little weird. There was a small window at floor level without any glass in. Obviously bit odd that anyone could walk past and catch a glimpse of you at your business, also pretty chilly in mid January. My hope is that it was a result of some renovations. There were also some exposed pipes and dodgy tiling, so hopefully this won't be problem in the future. It was located in a little frosted glass house though so the novelty was enough to gloss over the down bits. This is somewhere I would really like to come back to for an evening. The wine selection looked really good and it seemed like the perfect place for an intimate evening out.
