The story

IL Sommelier – Italian Fine Dining with Michelin Recommendation in Munich

A New Italian Meeting Point in Munich-Trudering

IL Sommelier describes itself as "der neue Treffpunkt, wenn es um grandioses Essen und exzellenten Wein geht." Located on Kreillerstraße in Munich-Trudering, this restaurant brings together modern design and classic elegance to create what they call "eine Oase der Entspannung" – an oasis of relaxation. The interior is conceived as a living room, a space where guests can settle in and focus on what matters: exceptional Italian cuisine and carefully selected wines.

Italian Roots, Modern Execution

The kitchen team at IL Sommelier works with passion and years of experience, aiming to surprise guests with new flavour experiences. The menu is described as "eine Hommage an die italienische Kultur, gepaart mit den modernen Elementen der Fusion Küche." This means classic Italian dishes are reimagined with contemporary techniques and global influences. Ingredients are seasonal and high-quality, with a special emphasis on Fassona beef from Piedmont – a lean, easily digestible meat – and fresh fish prepared in salt crust or on lava stone grill.

The monthly changing Menu del Mese offers a choice of four or six courses, with vegetarian options available. Starters include marinated amberjack with blood orange and beetroot, or scallops with calf’s liver filling. Pasta is handmade, such as plin di raviolo with oxtail ragout, or Sardinian culurgiones in vegetable broth. Main courses range from St. Pierre fish in savoy cabbage with beurre blanc to lamb with mustard-herb crust and a Bistecca Fiorentina for two.

Wine as a Guiding Principle

True to its name, IL Sommelier places wine at the heart of the experience. A sommelier selects a changing monthly lineup of wines, offered at attractive prices. Tuesday evenings feature a classic wine pairing with the full menu, making it a special night for those who want to explore the synergy between food and wine.

Recognition and Atmosphere

The restaurant’s commitment to quality and consistency has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a mark of its place among Munich’s noteworthy Italian dining destinations. The atmosphere balances modern sophistication with warmth, suitable for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings. With air conditioning, outdoor seating, and wheelchair access, it is designed for comfort.

IL Sommelier is open for dinner Monday through Saturday, with additional lunch hours on Mondays and Tuesdays. Sunday is a day of rest. Whether for a weekday lunch special or a multi-course evening feast, this is Italian dining in Munich that delivers on its promise of excellence.
