8o8 Restaurant Vienna: Italian and International Dining in the Eighth District

The Kitchen and the Number Eight

Chef Dusan Cvetkovic brings his background in Italian cooking to 8o8 restaurant in Vienna's Josefstadt, where the number eight defines both the location and the menu philosophy. The Gault&Millau guide awarded the venue 12 points this year, noting how the kitchen balances traditional Italian techniques with international flavors. Warm wood tones and panoramic windows illuminate the dining room throughout service.

Parmesan Wheels and Signature Pasta

The kitchen displays a giant wheel of Parmesan cheese as a central feature. Chefs carve fresh pasta and risotto from the hollowed rind tableside, shaving flavor directly over the plates. This presentation supports the signature truffle tagliatelle, which remains a consistent highlight noted by critics. Dishes include vegan porcini gnocchi, king prawns pil pil with spicy chorizo, and tiger prawn caesar salad tossed in garlic butter.

Cocktails and Evening Service

The venue doubles as a cocktail bar extending the evening well past dinner service. Mixologists prepare the 8o8 Cocktail No.1 using Peachtree liqueur and gin, accented with lemon syrup and fee foam. The broader selection features the Moscow Mule alongside house recipes like the Charlie Chaplin and South Side. Wooden accents and numerous lamps frame the drinking area, encouraging guests to linger over wine long after the kitchen closes.
