ristorazione — Ostbevern · Nordrhein-Westfalen
In Ostbevern, in the heart of Münsterland, Federica Gabriele and Vincenzo Di Giacomo opened a corner of Rome in 2023: a gastronomia (Italian delicatessen and eatery) where Italian cooking is not imitation but living memory, carried here by people who bear that tradition in their surname.
Crossing the threshold is already a precise gesture: Federica and Vincenzo Di Giacomo left Rome to bring to Ostbevern not an idea of Italian cooking, but the cooking of home. Since 2023 their bistro has been a point of reference for those seeking authenticity without mediation, in a Münsterland town centre where Italy can be felt even in the air.
In the dining room, bistro and vinothek coexist: on one side the tables, on the other a selection of Italian white and red wines with personalised pairing advice. On the shelves, Tuscan cured meats, cheeses and fresh antipasti sliced to order — products chosen under the 100% Italia seal, not for the label but out of conviction.
In the kitchen, the speciality is pinsa romana: a dough made with wheat flour and sourdough starter, crisp and easy to digest, prepared according to family recipes. To close the meal, artisanal gelato revives a tradition dating back to 1950, when great-grandfather Domenico made it in Caserta: today reinterpreted in thirteen flavours.
Every dish tells the story of where Federica and Vincenzo come from. The full page is available to discover the menu, opening hours and catering.
