About Bar venues

A bar is a venue centred on drinks, from beer and wine to cocktails and spirits, usually with a small food menu of snacks or shareable plates. The focus is the social atmosphere and the bar service rather than a sit-down 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.
