Atena Dolce Vita

Situated outside the centre in the equally typical and historic Borgo Trento district, this restaurant has all the warm ambience and character that you would expect of a traditional trattoria. The regional cuisine includes a remarkable array of charcuterie, as well as dishes such as tripe in Brescia-style broth, beef in olive oil and the typical local bocciolo di rosa dessert with zabaglione ice-cream.

Situated on the outskirts of Brescia, this long-established restaurant has an elegant retro atmosphere. The cuisine is varied with a balance of fish and meat dishes, as well as some excellent home-made salumi.

On the outskirts of the city, meat lovers will find their paradise: the kitchen selects some of the finest breeds from around the world (almost exclusively beef), offered in a variety of cuts and cooked over a Josper charcoal oven: an authentic delight.

It serves top-quality produce such as Pata Negra and other hams, anchovies from the Cantabrian sea, an excellent selection of cheeses and more elaborate dishes. At mealtimes, the venue transforms into a proper restaurant, with a smaller menu available at lunchtime.

Contemporary interiors and a prime location in a quiet residential neighborhood provide the backdrop for a seafood-focused kitchen that balances measured creativity with precise flavors. The shellfish selection excels: from prized Sicilian red prawns to steamed jumbo shrimp, refined and elevated by a soft bean purée with crispy guanciale.
