The place
Dopolavoro 1940 stands in Piazza Aldo Moro in Manerbio, within the historic spaces of the former dopolavoro of the Marzotto wool mill.

The offer ranges from breakfast to dinner, with dishes from Italian tradition alongside vegetarian and vegan options. Among the specialties is the Esperienza Carbonara, served with a theatrical smoking under a glass dome, and the chocolate fondant with a soft heart. The cocktail bar offers drinks crafted with care in both taste and design.
