Bar Giorgio

Just like the espresso bars you find tucked away in every corner of Italy, Bar Giorgio is a space for quick stops, slow mornings, and spontaneous conversations over perfectly pulled coffee.

Step up to the bar. Whether it’s a strong caffè ristretto to start your day, an afternoon macchiato, or a crisp cocktail before dinner, Bar Giorgio is open from morning through to the early evening, following gallery opening hours.

There’s no table service — and that’s just how it should be. This is coffee standing up or sitting down with quick chats with the barista, a moment of pause before heading back into the city. Like the best bars in Milan, Bologna or Palermo, it’s about rhythm, ritual, and real coffee.
