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 Brakes and Clutches in Rome and then at the NoMad Hotel in London. Upon his return to Italy, he immediately joined Chef Luciano Monosilio’s project.
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. people will be able to order the same dishes on the restaurant menu, such as Ciacio e Pepe, Amatriciana and Carbonara. Afterward until 2 a.m., closing time, you can indulge in ad hoc food offerings to go with cocktails as well.
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.
