The story is the same: you see “work in progress” on a window in the city previously occupied by a restaurant you walk by and you start to wonder which kind of food you are going to eat there next. And then, when the sign unveils, you discover that it is, once again, an Italian … Continue reading Trattoria da Gino, Luxembourg City

Expogast 2018 – It’s a wrap!
It has been a week, now, since Expogast, the most relevant gastronomic exhibition in the world of cooking, closed its doors and it is then time to make a quick summary, in the wait, not that short, of next edition, in 4 years time. Our "Barefoot in Luxembourg" team spent much intense and funny times behind … Continue reading Expogast 2018 – It’s a wrap!
Les Jardins D’Anais, Clausen, Luxembourg
Some days ago I was about to publish this article related to Les Jardins D'Anais - it was pending from the end of the summer and it was finally ready to go. As indeed I have already planned and booked to come back there next week, I decided still to keep it on hold and to go … Continue reading Les Jardins D’Anais, Clausen, Luxembourg
A coffee with… Alessio Zappala
He is the one in charge of "feeding" the Italian Ambassador in Luxembourg. He knows her tastes and works hardly to delight the palate of the renowned personalities from Luxemburg and European political scene who frequent her table. His name is Alessio Zappala, known as Chef Alessio, he was born in Sicily, Italy, and he is a volcano of gastronomic knowledge, stubbornness … Continue reading A coffee with… Alessio Zappala
Agave Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar, Hollerich, Luxembourg
This was for me the most waited opening of 2018 - you know why? As I live just nearby and when I saw "tequila bar opening soon" my heart started giggling - LOL. So when finally Agave opened its door last month, it jumped at the top of my place to try - and my dear … Continue reading Agave Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar, Hollerich, Luxembourg
After-work at El Barrio, Kirchberg, Luxembourg
One of the nicest things about working in Kirchberg is that, during the week, after work, I have often the possibility to visit places that I would normally not, as totally opposite than the area where I live now . Over the week of Holy Mary, in August, I had some friends visiting from Italy … Continue reading After-work at El Barrio, Kirchberg, Luxembourg

Cineast Festival: the 11th edition
Participating in a press conference always allows you to get in the mood that the event intends to transmit. This was the case of the presentation conference of Cineast, the Central and Eastern Europe Film Festival in Luxembourg held last week at the Cinématèque, that this year celebrates its 11th edition. Together with Corie on my side and with a pen and paper … Continue reading Cineast Festival: the 11th edition
Ukelele, Clausen, Luxembourg
If you are following my blog, you have probably already realized my "restaurants to try" approach. I have a "to do" list with new openings and restaurants I have never been, but it often happens that if I don't visit a restaurant immediately after the opening, I loose a bit of interest, as I have … Continue reading Ukelele, Clausen, Luxembourg
Alterego Restaurant, Luxembourg City
Can creative cuisine be as well affordable? I had the truly impression recently that the most sophisticated one restaurant gets, the more expensive the final bill is going to be. Sometimes it is perfectly justifiable as well as appreciated. I tend to save at least couple of dinners per year for outstanding places - mostly … Continue reading Alterego Restaurant, Luxembourg City
