Colapesce - MESSINA

I have been there for the presentation of a book written by a talented young Neapolitan (La parola Mala di Giovanni Chianelli, ed. To the east of the equator) and I have found a friendly and welcoming environment, young inventors of the bookshop that moves around for the small countries that do not have libraries: a really brilliant and useful idea that has found a remarkable success, so much so that they are often in contact with RAI just during their wandering. Moreover bringing cultural is good to those who do it and to those who receive it. The local of Messina is small but well organized, you can study, read, drink, nibble something, attend, in fact, presentations of books, know, tighten friendships.

Bookcase/wine bar radical chic: unique place in its kind in Messina. Another innovation, a social table, where strangers share the same table in order to promote interaction. A warm atmosphere, cultured and anticonformist, favored by the library that cries the tables and the refined musical selection in the background. Wines carefully selected by the young owner passionate about enology. Canapè to improve. Prelibacy sour vodka at ginger: extraordinary. It is worth bowing and reverence to the bartender and a little thoughts on a possible future from vertical alcoholic.

The restaurant has a style that fascinates, it is a bookcase/bistrot with an excellent map of wines and tasty craft beers that can be accompanied with meats, selected cheeses and, depending on the menu of the day, you can find a parmigiana or some other dish of the Sicilian tradition. The books for sale belong to independent publishing houses and they completely upholster the place creating a pleasant radical atmosphere.

Sudden location. For those who want to taste their proposals, triangles, piadines and bruschettes, put in an estimate to wait from one hour. Management to be reviewed. Be careful to move criticism because the customer is not right here.

From afternoon until late night: Colapesce is the perfect meeting place for every moment of the day. In this winter past in Messina was my corner of peace where I can read, study or drink in company a glass of wine. From the cozy, warm, “colta” atmosphere! The staff always kind and helpful.
