Where to eat in Hamburg
Gallo Nero
If Hamburg is the Venice of Germany, Corrado de Falco is the finest of gondoliers. What a wine cellar! Cult bottles, cases upon cases of Masseto, Sassicaia, and other historic labels with incredible depth in vintages and a variety of bottle sizes. Wine is present in every corner of the restaurant; the overall atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed. Sicilian origins, Corrado is a manic Indiana Jones-type when it comes to sourcing quality ingredients. His kitchen relies on fine extra virgin olive oil of Monti Iblei hills surrounding Ragusa; meats hail from a small breeder that raises free-range grass-fed Modicana cattle. Perfectly dry-aged, the meat cuts lend special aromas and flavours. The ravioli with pumpkin butter and sage were excellent, and the olive oil sorbet were divine, but don’t forego the fresh black truffle dishes. The best part of Italy shines in the kitchen.

Poletto Winebar
Poletto is a proper place for an aperitivo, a dinner or a quick lunch (at a very faire price). You can approach with a crispy bruschetta or a piadina, together with some quality charcuteries. At the same time you can sip a crispy bottle of Lugana or a fruity and rich Barbera carefully chosen. From the menu we suggest the acqurello risotto and the wild gulasch.The wine list is very well equipped covering all the diversity of Italian native grapes and a good selection available by the glass.
