This is Virtese
A loud table, good wine, and plates made to share.
Think of your favourite Tuscan trattoria — then bring it to the city.
Kitchen style
Handmade pasta, slow braises, grilled vegetables, big flavours and no tiny portions.
Wine & drinks
A short list of natural & low–intervention wines, classic cocktails and good amari to finish the night.
How the night looks
Quick drink, long dinner, late dessert — you can keep it simple or make an evening of it.
After–work
Drop in for wine, crostini and a couple of small plates at the bar.
Dinner with friends
Order a bit of everything, share the pasta, fight over the last bite.
Late night
Dessert, amaro, one more glass — the best part of the evening.
Visit
Book a table, bring your people, stay too long.
We recommend booking ahead for Fridays and Saturdays. Walk–ins are welcome at the bar whenever we have space.
