Welcome to
garibaldi bistrot

A large veranda made entirely of glass, airy, minimalist, brilliantly lit, expressly designed by Matteo and Elena to honor the unparalleled beauty of the Palladian Basilica and the Square it graces. The expansive windows provide guests with the delightful sensation of dining en plein air, in direct contact with sublime Renaissance art, complemented by a youthful, lively, and precise service.

The bistro is the ideal place for Matteo to reinterpret the Italian culinary classics, and not only Italian ones. A quick look at the MENU will give you a good idea. However, tasting these classics is necessary to fully grasp the intensity of aromas and flavors, a result of both precious raw materials, the product of years of relentless research, and simple, essential preparations aimed at preserving their fragrance intact.

And it’s the canvas for a true and profound passion: the finest meat treated with precision and skill, scented with delicate, non-invasive wood. Whether it’s lamb, cockerel, Iberian pork chop, or ‘dry-aged’ beef with at least 50 days of aging (filet, ny striploin, Chianina or Galician ribeye): the origin and supply chain are always guaranteed, pre-tasted by the chef himself.

The Bistro is also suitable for quick tastings of informal dishes, still within the realm of the finest Italian producers, presented with an element of unpredictability, a subtle twist, an unexpected flavor, or spice. So, cicchetti, sandwiches, leavened bread, and signature soups. Just like the cured meats and cheeses, in addition to the raw offerings of the catch of the day, are artisanal.

To conclude the meal, Elena’s desserts, light, always seasonal, focused on a well-defined and enhanced key ingredient, with little or no added sugar. Inspired by the various nuances of the word itself: ‘dolce’ is indeed something that has to do with naturalness, joy, kindness. But also with determination, in line with the character of the creator.

And to complement the menu, an extensive WINE LIST, boasting over 1,000 references well-distributed between established labels and small, niche, and highly selected natural producers. These selections are made not only for their uniqueness but also for their overall enjoyability (which is not always guaranteed in this field). In the true spirit of the Bistro, there is always a wide selection of wines by the glass, in constant rotation.
