About us

de·sa·bà·fo

n., from Portuguese

Venting, an outpouring. From the verb desabafar: to let it out, get it off your chest, keep nothing bottled up.

We opened Desabafo to let good things out: a drink made right, a plate that tastes of Piedmont, the right music and time to enjoy the wonderfully ordinary things around you.

We're two brothers: Simone behind the bar, Fabio in the kitchen. You bring the rest. And if you feel at home, we've done our job.

"Enjoy the music, grab a drink, dance, breathe, have a good one!"

For two

A corner all to yourselves and a cocktail to share (or not). The right place for a first date, and for the second.

For a crowd

Sofas and tables for groups: graduation parties, birthdays, stag nights, that class reunion you keep putting off.

You've defended your thesis: now it's time to let it all out, which is literally our name. Bring the people who supported you (and put up with you: yes, we know you wrote that in your acknowledgements).

We'll handle the buffet, litres of sangria, wine and gin included. Just tell us how many you are and how hungry, and worry about the laurel wreath.
