The storefront encourages a traditional meal in the colors of Italy.

The Osteria Palatino, change of scenery assured

As soon as we arrive in this beautiful establishment, we are warmly received with a singing “Buena Sera” (editor’s note: “Good evening” in Italian) and a tasty Italiancocktail. The discovery of this restaurant is a surprise. The establishment, on two floors, is huge. Different spaces, different atmospheres, all in the colors of Italy, and its heritage: advertising posters, cars or football, as well as sculptures worthy of the most prestigious museums in the world.

Several atmospheres, within the establishment of 850m².

The open kitchen allows guests to see the chefs in action. All products are prepared on site by Italian chefs, with raw materials directly imported from Italy. Products selected with great care, with ancestral know-how.

Throughout the event, the focus was on sharing, generosity and flavors. The promise of a one-way trip to Italy, through many discoveries. Dishes designed and made by Chef Andrea ASSOGNA, at the head of the restaurant. Thus, all the classics of Italian cuisine are within reach of the plate… Just as much as exclusive creations.

During this event, we had the opportunity to taste different dishes from the menu offered by Osteria Palatino. From the Burrata con pappa al Pomodoro through the delicious Casoncelli alla carbonara di mare followed by the unmissable “Mammargherita”… Not to mention the traditional Tigramisù, everything is done on site and neat, both in terms of tastes and presentation.

The kitchen open to the room allows you to see the chefs designing the dishes.

In summary, this new address full of promise intends to highlight know-how and gastronomy. A bet that also perfectly meets the reputation of Bordeaux, focused on eating well.

Big Mamma, booming restaurants

The Osteria Palatino is not an independent restaurant. It belongs to Big Mamma, a chain of Italian restaurants that is talked about. And for good reason, it has more than 13 restaurants, and intends to continue its development in the coming years. To date, Big Mamma has nine restaurants in Paris, one in Lille, one in Lyon, three in London and two in Madrid… And that of Bordeaux. Each restaurant has a unique name, and a decoration of its own, while remaining within the codes of Italian restaurants.

The bar, place of creation for tasty cocktails.

In addition, in cities that have several restaurants, everyone has their own specialty, with chefs who offer pizza cards, or pasta, grills … This makes it possible each time to offer a different experience, with the guarantee of quality know-how. In Bordeaux, the Osteria Palatino offers all types of dishes, with a brigade of 30 people, all experts in their practice.

Big Mamma really plays the card of authenticity, and attaches particular importance to the quality of the experience of its customers. Each dish is presented, explained, to highlight all the balance and flavors. An invitation to travel, in a colorful and lively setting, where you can easily see the cooks at work. A show during which it is possible to watch the making of pasta, pizzas … But also, upstairs, the opportunity to see the bartender prepare a variety of cocktails. Cocktails also with the flavors of Italy …

Pizzas follow the codes of Italian pizza.

Beyond the successful atmosphere and culinary experience that the Group offers to customers in its restaurants, the Big Mamma Group attaches great importance to certain values. Behind the scenes, there is a group that is committed to the quality of its products, its environmental impact, or the training and development of its employees. The guideline of these beautiful values is the “B corp” certification.

The B Corp movement is a movement with an international scope. It brings together no less than 4000 companies of all sizes and from all sectors. The purpose of this certification is to identify for-profit companies that meet societal and environmental requirements as well as requirements in terms of governance and transparency. This certification therefore aims to highlight companies that have a beneficial impact on society.

For example, Big Mamma is part of the B Corp movement thanks to the implementation of 100% green energy in all its restaurants. Another point is that it provides literacy classes in internees to its employees. In 2020, the group provided no less than 186 hours.

La Osteria Palatino, the place to be in Bordeaux

The Osteria Palatino is therefore the beautiful Bordeaux surprise, rue de la Merci, next to the famous rue Sainte Catherine. A strategic location in the heart of Bordeaux, to stay easy to access. A restaurant that is both friendly and refined, offering for example white truffle pasta on its menu. In short, dishes that are out of the ordinary.

The restaurant has been renovated for several months to offer guests a unique atmosphere. The setting is therefore particular and atypical, to be discovered without delay. A promise of travel kept, therefore, which solicits all the senses.
