A hidden cocktail room behind a concealed door inside Gigi Tavola on the port, where the menu rotates with the seasons and the bartender remembers your second drink.
Zitto hides inside Gigi Tavola at 5 Quai des Deux Emmanuels, and you walk through the restaurant to reach a concealed door. The name means hush in Italian, and the whole act follows: 1920s Italian decor, exposed brick, velvet seats under a vaulted ceiling.
You come here for the most serious cocktail program at the port. One Google reviewer wrote that the drinks reminded them of excellent bars in London, and at 14 to 16 euro a glass they cost about half what the same level costs there.
The Holy Banana studio designed the room around a Prohibition era Italy idea, and it lands without feeling like a costume. Brick, velvet, low light, and a bar you can actually talk across.
The Artful Epicure described near empty weeknights with the bartender's full attention, which is the version worth chasing. Saturdays run fuller and louder.
Dates and cocktail obsessives, mostly, with dinner traffic from Gigi Tavola feeding the door after 9pm. The room stays intimate rather than social; you talk to your table, not the next one.
Go on a weeknight if you want the bartender's time, and book or arrive early Friday and Saturday. The drinks take minutes to build, so order two at once if the room is full.
