The ultimate cocktail bar in town, Laurus serves ourstanding drinks in a warm, romantic, welcoming ambience. They know what they are doing.

After work to late night La Bottega is crowded with 40+ professionals who really love their drinks and eventually come here before the parties

IL BARROCCIO | music kiosk
Everybody in town know this simple kiosk with tons of tables outside, where tens of people from the most desparate backgrounds gather noon to late night for coffe, cocktaills & Ipa beers to the sound of great music from dj’s and international live acts.
Theyr weekly live jams attract massive crowds, it can turn big fun. No table service, it is all basic and unpretentious here.
