At this experimental cocktail bar, Filippo Sisti surprises guests with bespoke cocktails that are veritable works of art. The word talea refers to a grafting technique that allows a fragment of a plant to take root elsewhere; similarly, this intimate and elegant venue brings together the knowledge of its bartenders to create new and exciting drinks. In the Vivarium , a private room that lies at the heart of Talea , guests can book an innovative multisensory tasting experience.
Low lighting and retro-style décor create a welcoming ambience at this lively venue where barmen in 1930s-style waistcoats shake up drinks. At Pinch , cuisine and cocktails harmoniously intertwine, with creatively presented cocktails featuring spices and flowers with wonderfully aromatic scents.
