Bar Edicola

About

Bar Edicola reclaims a former downtown newsstand and turns it into a café-bar with serious range. The team—behind Caffettiera, Cloakroom, and Provisions—kept the name and even a few of the old magazines, turning nostalgia into design rather than décor. Mornings are all espresso and Italian pastries, while the evenings stretch into small plates and aperitivo classics: fried artichokes, marinated zucchini, house-made pesto, and a full lineup of Negronis, spritzes, and low-intervention wines. The space is split between warm woods and cool stainless steel, reflecting the duality of its concept. It’s a rare kind of spot downtown—unbranded, independent, and quietly well-executed, whether you’re seated at the bar or grabbing a sandwich to go.
