The story
Bottega Vannini is not a restaurant in the conventional sense. It is a place that brings together three elements: a carefully stocked Italian grocery, a restaurant serving lunch and dinner, and an œnothèque with wines from across Italy. The guiding philosophy is summed up by a quote from Pellegrino Artusi: "Prendi il cibo con misura dai due regni di natura" – take food with measure from the two kingdoms of nature.
The grocery, or épicerie, sources raw ingredients from small and medium producers all over Italy. The same products appear on the restaurant plates, where "food excellences transform into unforgettable dishes," as the team puts it. The wine list leans toward organic, biodynamic, and classic labels, covering the whole peninsula.
Bottega Vannini’s approach to Italian cuisine earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a recognition that underscores the quality of its sourcing and cooking. The restaurant is open for lunch Monday through Friday, and for dinner Wednesday through Friday. The grocery is open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00.
The atmosphere is that of a convivial Italian bottega – a place to buy a bottle of wine, pick up fresh pasta, or sit down for a meal that reflects the season and the land. There is no menu listed online, but the emphasis on small producers and traditional techniques suggests a menu that changes with what is available.
