The story
Set in a beautifully restored former village inn, Felicità Trattoria brings a fresh, convivial energy to the heart of Vayres, just outside Libourne. The space is designed for connection—with long tables for families and cozy nooks for couples, all wrapped in warm, thoughtful decor. This approach, blending comfort with a refined atmosphere, has earned the restaurant a place in the Michelin guide, recognized for its quality and charm.
The kitchen here is a celebration of Italian and French culinary traditions. Dishes are built from the best Italian and local products, chosen for their freshness and seasonality. The menu is a journey through Italian classics and inventive creations, from stuzzichini like truffle chips and Parma ham to antipasti such as a generous burrata or vitello tonnato. Pasta lovers will find a range of options, including a vibrant fusilloni al pistacchio with pesto and stracciatella, and a classic carbonara made with guanciale and pecorino.
Beyond pasta, the kitchen offers robust mains like a braised wild boar (cinghiale) with pappardelle, and a delicate line-caught hake cooked at low temperature. The dessert list is equally tempting, featuring a classic tiramisu, a limoncello baba, and an affogato for a perfect Italian finish. A lunch menu changes weekly, and a discovery menu is available for those wanting to sample more. On Sundays until April, a pop-up pizza party adds even more Italian spirit, with Pierre and Luigi cooking up pizzas and pastas to enjoy on-site or to take away.
