Poison Cocktail Bar
It may not be a real speakyeasy but that's the idea. It' s called Veleno Cocktail Bar & Pasta, Luciano Monosilio's new project that has come to life in the same restaurant in Pompey's Theater Square. Just walk down the stairs and you will be greeted by graffiti, neon lights and a large counter full of colorful bottles to star in the small room.
Drops of Excellence
Bar Manager
Luca Fanari
The real novelty is, of course, the space dedicated to mixology. Veleno's drink list features, in addition to the classics, a selection of 10 drinks developed by bar manager Luca Fanari based on recipes designed from individual products that change according to seasonality. Veleno's bar manager worked at Freni e Frizioni in Rome and then at NoMad Hotel in London. Upon his return to Italy, he immediately joined Chef Luciano Monosilio's project.
Mixology
The Drink List
Veleno Cocktail Bar & Pasta will offer a cocktail list and drinks, with something more than speakeasies: food pairing. Until 11 a.m., one can order the same dishes on the restaurant menu, such as Ciacio e Pepe, Amatriciana and Carbonara. After that until 2 a.m., closing time, one can indulge in ad hoc food suggestions to be paired with cocktails as well.
Mixology
The Local
An important role in the creation of the signatures (12 to 17 euros) is played by the ingredients used in the restaurant upstairs: cocktails and cuisine, therefore, are linked by a process of recovery. Discards regain value and go to enrich and characterize Veleno's drinks. And it is the scraps that give the signature cocktails their name, starting with the basic ingredient that has been processed.
