Usually when I hear or read the word Tuscany (for those who don't know it's an Italian region right above Lazio, which is our Capital's region) I think about Florence, the good wine, Dante Alighieri and his Divine Comedy, their strange accent and their artistic and environmental beauties and the Elba Island.
This place is called "la mia Toscana" which means "my Tuscany". Of course you won't find everything up there inside this small venue, but I can assure you, they have amazing red wine, cheap and served with cutting boards with great cured meats and cheese, all from Tuscany. The place is discretely packed with people of almost every age during happy hour and many workers go there for a quick snack for lunch. So far I find myself among the first group but I definitely feel I'd fit in the second one too if I were working.
Moreover they have other products to sell separately, so that it can also be seen as a gastronomy where to find amazing Tuscan typical products to take away and eat on the shores of the newly renovated Darsena area (check the Darsena article) or in Navigli. Also: they have 10 years of experience, granting reliability and quality.
