Vibe: A hip yet cozy Italian eatery that strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and trendy flair.
Who’s picking up the check? Expect to spend around €40 for two, covering a plate of pasta each and a glass of wine to accompany it.
Spotted: The chef, effortlessly whipping up pasta creations at the open cooking station right as you walk in. The setup feels inviting, like stepping into someone’s kitchen as they cook a meal just for you.
Insider tip: Opt for a table upstairs to enjoy a more private dining experience, complete with a warm candlelit ambiance and funky tunes that fill the space.
Fun fact: Gazzosa doubles as a mini Italian marketplace, offering a variety of authentic grocery items. Stock up on olive oil, taralli, tomato sauce, pasta, and more while you’re there.
How to get there: Step off at Gare Centrale and take a scenic stroll through Square de la Putterie to Rue de la Madeleine. Look for the newly refurbished Galerie Bortier, which now hosts a slew of dining options. Walk to the very back — Gazzosa is tucked away on the left side waiting to be discovered.
