If you're lucky you will be met by the manager, Luca Barbieri, who will personally ensure you have a great time. The venue is divided into two levels. Upstairs carries a light, bright atmosphere with several tables where you can sit for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a dish of tortellini or gnocchi or just to browse the shelves of the Italian goods on offer. The dishes on the menu change daily, but the manager assured us that everything was super-fresh. Luca explained that you can find here to prepare excellent Italian cuisine at home, starting from good-quality olive oil to Giuditta brand ready-meals. Even the experienced chef, Franco, will share his cuisine secrets. Head downstairs if you want a calmer atmosphere for your dinner or make a reservation for a private party.

The wine list covers virtually every region of Italy. More than 50 of the wines come with the budget-friendly price of €2.80 per glass. Every Thursday from 19.00-20.00 there's a Happy Hour, where for €7 you'll be served two glasses together with some "zakuski". After experiencing this friendly atmosphere and tasty food you'll certainly come back for more.
