« A real sunny crush » for this piece of Italy that is IL VICOLO ROSSO! That's how I'll start telling you about this brand-new little restaurant just opened, facing Mériadeck in Bordeaux, and about which we'll soon be talking everywhere!
IL VICOLO ROSSO is not just a simple restaurant like so many others in Bordeaux. IL VICOLO ROSSO is a restaurant in the colours of Italy and also a delicatessen and a wine cellar. Everything in this restaurant breathes feasting and the greedy generosity of the owners Emiliano and James.
« The Italian canteen » of Bordeaux
This small restaurant tucked in the heart of the Mériadeck district offers a generous Italian cuisine, a speciality cuisine and childhood dishes from chef Emiliano. The flavours are sweet like « La Dolce Vita » and always Italian in style. If Italy is a land of plenty and diversity, Emiliano and James know how to lock a piece of it in the dishes they'll put on your table.
The atmosphere is warm, sparkling and a real invitation to tasting. Whether on the terrace or inside, you enjoy putting the world to rights while devouring everything that appears before your sharpened eyes and appetites.
A fine delicatessen
Yes, because IL VICOLO ROSSO is much more than a restaurant! It also offers a delicatessen corner that lets you extend those foodie moments: lasagne, parmigiana, charcuterie, cheeses… There is choice, quality is at the rendezvous, and you want to try everything!
Here the best Italian products have been finely selected to offer a wide choice to liven up your lunches, dinners and endless aperitivos.
By the way, it seems you have to say « Grazie Emiliano » for finding all these gems… ?
And on the wine cellar side?
On the wine cellar side, it is James's domain, who, like any good librarian, has built a true library of the finest Italian and French wines. Red, white, rosé… Don't know what to pick? Have no fear, James is attentive and will advise you on the best way to go with your meal or to start the « aperitivo »!
The best Italian wines (to stay on theme) have been picked for you and hold a few finds worth the detour.
As they put it better than I do to introduce this cellar made in IL VICOLO ROSSO: « A very large wine library, representative of the friendship between France & Italy 
Discover gems picked by James, in love with beautiful bottles… »
Thank you James!
As you can guess, we loved this journey to Italy alongside our hosts Emiliano and James. IL VICOLO ROSSO is one of those restaurants you adopt right away. The atmosphere, the products, the dishes and the concept won us over immediately, and you find yourself wanting to come back the next day… And the next…
Thank you for this journey! Tested and validated by Bordeaux Confidentiel!
