Taverna degli artisti

Fish, meat and pizza. But most of all, the hangout of many celebrities.

The Taverna degli Artisti in Vespucci Boulevard, in the middle of Marina Centro and just a short walk from the Grand Hotel, has been a glamorous meeting place since 1967. And there is no lack of evidence: on the walls there are many historic and contemporary images of the jet-set personalities who have chosen this restaurant to spend hours in nice company and enjoy good food. Some scenes from the 1998 film “Diventerò padre”, starring Gianni Morandi, were filmed in this place, that also hosted the cast of Luciano Ligabue’s film “Da zero a dieci” in 2002, as well as being mentioned numerous times in the foreign press, especially Russian and Polish.

The structures have been kept identical to the early days of the business even by the new management, which took over the restaurant in 1991, including the original wooden counter. The real “gem” is the imperial table, which since the sixties has hosted all the important people, still maintaining its original function as a table dedicated to VIPs. The Taverna degli Artisti is a place where time seems to stand still…
