I've written reviews of Degustini in the Guide and been there twice and loved it. Now they're doing a real wine tasting March 11 (reserve by March 8 to guarantee a seat) and it sounds really great. 2 wines per course, and the courses are:

Aperitiv
Gefüllte Hühnchenroulade auf Balsamicolinsen
Hausgemachte Kartoffelgnocchi mit Tomaten und Basilikum
Seewolffilet im Kartoffelmantel mit Selleriepüree
Sorbetto von Zitronen
Wildschweinragout mit Polenta
Schokoladengateau

So: chicken, gnocchi, loupe de mer, lemon sorbet, wild boar ragout with polenta, and chocolate cake.

More details on their website in German.

80 Euros per person, sigh. But I really really really think it'd be worth it. I'm going if I'm in town, and I'll know in a couple days if I will be. My husband and I were just there last night for our fifth anniversary and our bill was 113 Euros for both of us, and that was again five courses but only one wine per course. Glasswise. We just ask them to surprise us. We could order from the menu and get away lots cheaper though, we might skip a couple courses.

Did I mention this place is COMPLETELY NON-SMOKING? Yes it is. Angelika Weber speaks English too, not sure about Fabio, I haven't asked.

Here's a short translation of the press so far:

GO München, January 2005, page 76:

Points:
Food...15 von 20
Drinks... 8 von 10
Ambiente... 7,5 von 10

Wohl fühlen... 8 von 10
Total... 46 von 60 Punkten

GO München, Dezember 2004, Seite 78-81:
The 50 best Restaurants -- The ten best Italians

With 46 of 60 possible point, DEGUSTINI leads in front of Acquarello (43,5 Punkte), Acetaia (43), Vinaiolo (43) etc. Just behind Landersdorfer & Innerhofer (47), Le Faubourg (47), Bistro Terrine (46,5), Broeding (46,5) or Käfer-Schänke (46,5).

Any of those other places got a non-smoking zone? IT'd be great, but I've yet to hear of it.
