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 April'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.

Layla arrives in Rome’s Prati neighborhood
From the fishing boats of Mazara del Vallo to the Prati district. A gourmet gem opens that combines counter-service tastings of Mazara del Vallo red shrimp and scampi, accompanied by top-quality caviar from the Caspian Sea. Layla is also a boutique where you can buy fresh, processed red shrimp and langoustines, packaged in elegant boxes to take home along with caviar, premium oils, selected wines and champagnes
The property owns two fishing boats, Socrates and Cyclamen. They operate in the sea off Mazara del Vallo, one of the Mediterranean’s most important ports for shrimp fishing. The experience revolves around a ten-seat marble counter, designed as a true space for interaction between kitchen and guests. Layla’s menu is built around a few but prized protagonists: red shrimp from Mazara del Vallo, scampi and caviar.
