The story
The name says it all. Le braci means embers in Italian, and that warmth — literal and philosophical — runs through everything this Warsaw restaurant does. Situated on Górnośląska 24, Le Braci describes itself simply as a real Italian restaurant, one that draws from Italian cuisine precisely what makes it universally loved: flavour, authenticity, simplicity, uncompromising ingredient quality, and centuries of tradition. Gambero Rosso recognised this commitment with 2 Forks in 2025, placing Le Braci among the most credible Italian tables in Poland.
The kitchen is led by chef Przemek Samul, while Kamila Dzierżawska oversees the dining room as general manager and head sommelier — a pairing that brings both culinary rigour and considered wine service under one roof. The team's international experience in hospitality shapes their daily approach: understanding different expectations and meeting them without compromise. As they put it themselves, a happy team means happy guests, and they consider themselves a very happy team.
The menu is built around seasonality and product availability, with Italian classics as its constant backbone. Nothing is fixed for its own sake — what appears on the table reflects what is best at any given moment. The wine list is treated with equal seriousness, curated by Dzierżawska, and the restaurant has hosted dedicated wine events pairing Italian producers with the kitchen's food.
Le Braci embraces the La Dolce Vita spirit not as a slogan but as a genuine operating principle — a place for savouring small pleasures and finding joy in the everyday. Families are actively welcomed: a dedicated children's menu and a thoughtfully designed space mean younger guests can be themselves without disturbing the wider room.
For those who want to bring the Italian experience elsewhere, Le Braci offers external catering built on fresh, high-quality Italian products. Cocktail menus feature dishes such as vitello tonnato, cannoli siciliani, mushroom risotto, and tiramisu with amaretti — the same kitchen sensibility, delivered to offices and private events across Warsaw.
