ristorazione — Sofia · Sofia-grad
In the heart of Sofia, just steps from the major offices around Lachezar Stanchev, an Italian family originally from Ancona has opened a door onto real Italy: regional cooking, a wood-fired oven and selected ingredients imported directly from the peninsula.
It's Leo and his wife Lucia who greet every guest at the door: a family-run style that isn't just a formula, but the way this restaurant has built its reputation in Sofia over time. The family comes from Ancona, and that Marche heritage comes through in the warmth of the welcome even before it shows in the dishes.
The dining room is open every day from noon to eleven, with an outdoor garden that extends the space during the milder seasons. At midday, from noon to three, the Italian chef prepares a fresh daily menu: risotto, pasta, meat and fish dishes, starters with artichokes and porcini mushrooms. A regional Italian cuisine that changes with the rhythm of the seasons.
The wood-fired oven is the visible heart of the kitchen: the pizza comes out following Italian tradition, made with selected ingredients imported from Italy. It's not a decorative detail: it's the choice that Sofia's public rewarded in 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024, and one that also won over the judges of Little Big Italy.
