About Lounge venues

A lounge is a relaxed venue for drinks and light food in a comfortable, often stylish setting. The focus is unwinding over cocktails or coffee rather than a formal meal.

Italian dining culture revolves around quality ingredients, regional identity and unhurried meals. Each Italian region has its own pasta shapes, sauces, cheeses and cured meats, and locals take pride in what grows or grazes nearby. A full Italian meal moves from antipasto through primo (pasta or risotto) to secondo (meat or fish) and dolce, though casual trattorias and pizzerias serve lighter, faster meals. Espresso and a cornetto for breakfast is a national institution.
