Unfortunately we had to close our doors. Thank you all for this amazing journey❤️

About us

Bar Italia is the perfect spot for those who can't get enough of the American - Italian cucina and love a good drink with a little dancing. We're happy to welcome you for a real Italian espresso, a cocktail, magnificent Italian tasty dishes seven days a week, from 6 pm till late. Want to come by earlier? No problem! Our friends at Metropolitain open their doors for delicious all day brunch at 12:00 already, and serve until 5 pm.

We've got some news to spill from the heart of Bar Italia…??

After 14 rockin' years, our beloved Bar Italia is raisin' the curtain for the last act. Yep, you heard it right, this adventure is coming to an end. Also Metropolitain, our partner in crime for 8.5 epic years, is joining the closing party too...?

Until August 31st, we're still in business, cooking up those amazing Italian vibes that have become our signature jam. But once the clock strikes midnight, it's officially lights out.

 

Now, mark your calendars and set your alarms for August 26th, cause that's when we're throwing the ultimate closing party from 18:00 till late.

Let's give Bar Italia and Metropolitain the biggest love for the last time.

See you on August 26th, ready to rock and roll for one last time! ??
