The story
In Brescia, Carne & Spirito has established itself as a destination for those who take their grilled meats seriously. This restaurant, born from the multi-year experience of the Ristorante Hotel Noce, is recognized by the Michelin guide—a testament to its unwavering commitment to quality. The name itself hints at the experience: a celebration of both the physical pleasure of exceptional food and the spirit of conviviality.
The team, led by Paride Pedroni, focuses on a philosophy of seduction through taste. The atmosphere is described as intimate and refined, designed for both romantic evenings and relaxed gatherings with friends. The restaurant's promise is clear: either you love meat, or you will fall in love with it here.
As a dedicated steakhouse and grill, the kitchen’s heart is the Josper oven, which imparts a distinctive smokiness to every cut. The menu explores a range of premium meats, from rare and prized selections like Japanese Kobe and Rubia Gallega beef to the indulgent Australian Tomahawk ribeye and a bone-in filet that balances tenderness with deep flavor. For a curated experience, tasting menus like the "Fiorentina" (43€) and the "Carne & Spirito" (45€) offer complete journeys from antipasto to dessert.
The passion for meat is matched by an extraordinary wine list, boasting 700 labels. Whether you are seeking the perfect pairing for a grilled masterpiece or a special bottle to share, the selection is designed to impress. For a lighter option, the weekday business lunch offers a single, seasonal dish for 20€, while the à la carte menu remains available for those craving the full steakhouse experience. On Fridays and Saturdays, the kitchen stays open late, welcoming guests to linger over their meal.
