The name “Musa” means muse in Italian, which is fitting. When culinary art reaches perfection, it can be as inspiring as an ancient muse. This divine concept was born when partners Luigi and Dagmara decided to combine their passions – gelato and wine – into one exceptional place.
Luigi’s love for making gelato has been a lifelong affair. His dedication to perfecting each creation drives him to experiment, always aiming to surprise and delight his guests. His partner, Dagmara, shares this passion, particularly for biodynamic and natural wines. together with Jan Koziołkiewicz, a seasoned sommelier with an impressive résumé including Atelier Amaro, Ale Wino!, and Kontakt Bistro, they’ve curated an experience where Luigi’s innovative gelatos meet carefully selected wines.

On our visit, we indulged in the seasonal jagody sorbet. This vibrant burst of sweet-tart berry essence pairs perfectly with Roig Boig Tranquil. As the sorbet melts, its deep berry flavors meld with the wine’s crisp acidity and subtle wildflower notes. The wine’s smooth tannins and refreshing acidity enhance the sorbet’s bright tang, while its balsamic hints add a sophisticated layer to the berry sweetness. Together, they create a harmonious dance of flavors, where the sorbet’s natural sweetness and tangy freshness meet the wine’s lively fruitiness and Mediterranean character.
A staple on Luigi’s menu is his pistachio gelato. Pair it with Movia Sauvignon 2022, a brilliant golden wine with a sophisticated bouquet of yellow apple, apricot, and citrus, accented by hints of vanilla and herbs. Its fresh acidity and mineral notes balance its creamy, fuller body, making it a perfect match for rich desserts. When paired with the creamy, salted Sicilian pistachio gelato, the wine’s vibrant fruit flavors and refreshing acidity cut through the gelato’s richness, while its delicate vanilla and herbal notes complement the nutty sweetness and sea salt. This creates a refined and balanced tasting experience that elevates both the wine and the gelato.
The determination to intertwine their passions is evident in the many happy patrons filling their seats inside and outside, reminiscent of a summer night at a hotspot in Rome. Stay tuned as we revisit to sample their food and secure a taste of their sought-after gorgonzola gelato, which is almost always sold out.
