The Bistro

The Bistro brings modern Italian flair to the table – with handmade pasta, fresh comfort food and a relaxed courtyard vibe. From a late morning coffee to a laid-back lunch, or an intimate dinner with unexpected twists, this is where everyday favourites are reimagined. 

From 11:30 to 17:00, the menu features light, flavourful Italian classics: think linguine alle vongole, house-made lasagne, and ragù slow-cooked to perfection. Guests can watch fresh pasta being prepared through a window into the open kitchen – a quiet nod to craft and quality. Alongside these beloved staples, you'll find bowls, burgers, club sandwiches, and creative salads, ideal for a poolside pause or relaxed lunch on the shaded terrace. All dishes are also available for take-away. 

As evening arrives, the Bistro subtly shifts pace. The focus turns to elevated Italian cuisine with Japanese influences – a nod to the Japanese izakayas. Expect dishes like wagyu beef tartare with yuzu, linguine with miso beurre blanc and cod roe, or a delicate tuna carpaccio with orange ponzu and tahoon cress. The atmosphere stays relaxed, the flavours become bolder, and the setting invites long conversations over beautifully prepared plates. 

Ideal for casual diners and connoisseurs alike, the Bistro reflects the playful spirit of modern Restaurant Salò – light-hearted and thoughtfully composed.
