The story

Chleb i Wino in Gdańsk | Award-Winning Italian Cooking

Southern Italian foundations

Chleb i Wino in Gdańsk anchors its approach to Italian cooking on solid Mediterranean principles while maintaining daily production lines inside the kitchen. Bakers prepare dough according to a proprietary recipe that yields a crust designed to accompany every meal. Pasta sheets are rolled by hand before being cut into shapes for rich sauces. The kitchen also follows an 1889 Neapolitan standard for pizza, where the base bakes into a thin and crisp structure topped with tomato sauce seasoned by dried herbs.

A refined waterfront setting

Large windows frame the historic Starówka skyline while brick walls and gilded mirror frames establish a quiet luxury. The space balances classical architecture with subtle glamour, creating a dining room that feels polished without crossing into stiff formality. This deliberate attention to environment contributed to the venue receiving a 11.5 rating from Gault&Millau for 2026. Guests settle into wooden tables under decorative chandeliers before reviewing the extensive beverage catalog.

Curated selections and morning service

The beverage program emphasizes Italian and Spanish vintages while offering bottles and glasses from producers across both hemispheres. Sommelier-driven curation matches dry, semi-dry, and sweet profiles against the day’s handmade pasta or Southern Italian fare. Early diners can order the chef’s omelet filled with cheese, mushrooms, and bacon alongside bruschetta built on the morning loaf. Afternoon visitors transition smoothly into lighter plates or seasonal fruit desserts paired with chilled white wine.
