In this column we report the month's new openings of restaurants and wine bars throughout Italy. These are not reviews, but previews of newly opened or opening establishments. An observatory on the ferment of the sector, including gastronomic novelties and new drinking addresses.
Here are May's new openings.
Despite the difficulties the restaurant industry continues to face, especially on the staffing front, the Italian scene remains vibrant, with numerous new openings ranging from gourmet restaurants to trattorias, from pizzerias to ethnic eateries.
The price range is also wide: ranging from more accessible proposals related to traditional cuisine and pizza to high-end restaurants, often placed in luxury hotel settings. The success of a restaurant depends on many factors: from the experience of the person who leads it to the quality of the cuisine and the professionalism of the chef; from the location to the wine list (an element, the latter, always central for us). Only the public will tell who has hit the mark.
To you the pleasure of discovering new addresses: article is updated regularly with openings we learn about.

Terracotta – Osteria con Brace within walking distance of the auditorium in Rome
A few steps from Rome’s Auditorium, at 44 Maresciallo Pilsudski Street, opens Terracotta – Osteria con Brace, the new project signed by the Idra Holding group, composed of young entrepreneurs already behind Osteria della Parola and Caligola. The restaurant brings between the Flaminio and Parioli neighborhoods a precise concept: to put the grill at the center of the experience, not only as a cooking technique but as an identity element that runs through the entire menu.
With about 80 indoor seats and a 30-40-seat outdoor space, Terracotta presents itself as a cozy environment designed for convivial but curated dining. The menu, curated by chef Davide Ribatti, moves along a clear line: starting with Italian tradition and working it through technique and fire. Meat represents one of the central elements of the proposal, enhanced both through direct cooking and specific processing. In fact, the restaurant has a dry age maturer, which allows cuts to be processed up to about 60 days, intensifying flavor and texture.
Terracotta Osteria with Brace
Via Maresciallo Pilsudski, 44 – Rome
