Italian

With a kitchen brigade trained by champion pizzaiola Valerio Valle you’d be right to expect something a few steps beyond your standard high street pizza. Cooked in a woodfired Valoriani oven, the attention to detail is something else: sauce from Pelati tomatoes, Milano salami and Farina Le 5 Stagioni...

Dziurka od Klucza

Restaurants 15 March 2018 0

An enchanting locale in which enigmatic, lavender-painted doors sit embedded into the walls, as if waiting to be magically opened by the mysterious keys that hang from the numerous interior details. Set with empty picture frames and cotton ball lights, interiors just don’t get any cuter. As for food,...

Review: Otto Pompieri

Features Reviews 3 December 2017 0

Preconceptions: bad, aren’t they? You walk in expecting one thing and come out looking like a fool. So it was visiting Otto Pompieri. I’ll be frank, looking at the menu I made up my mind on the spot: “nah, don’t like it.” Why? Because I felt like I’d seen...

Otto Pompieri A revelationary new find with NYC-style pizza and an interior that’s retro Little Italy. With mood and food in perfect alignment, it’s a welcome addition to Warsaw’s pizza sector.

Otto Pompieri

Off-hand there’s about three or four pizzerias in Warsaw that really get it right, but Otto, this place gets it righter. If that’s not a word then apologies, the thing is that’s exactly what it is. The artichoke pizza is an orgy of melty greatness, but it’s the margherita...

Warsaw’s status as Central Europe’s vegetarian capital is reflected by the depth and diversity of its restaurant offer. No longer viewed as ‘cheap student food’, a number of venues have carried the vegetarian cause forward, demonstrating it sheer versatility. One such place is Leonardo Verde, a startlingly beautiful hangout...

Miłość

At a time when many of Warsaw’s bars and restaurants feel like vapid replications of each other (subway tiles, reclaimed furniture, hanging filament bulbs) there’s something about Miłość that’s striking and fresh. Two years old it might be, but it still feels every bit as innovative and original as...

DaCurio

Although it looks small and humble DaCurio have made quick work of amassing an enthusiastic following. Credit for that rests with the Roman-style pizza that comes sold by the slice. Made using Italian oils and flour, the pizzas here deserve the adulation they’ve received. DaCurio ul. Tamka 45A

Strange times for Pl. Zbawiciela: it’s not long back people were burning down the rainbow installation (RIP!), calling it Pl. Hipsterka and writing about it in publications such as The New York Times. Though it might have stagnated a little since that heyday hopes are again high for the...
