A Dive into Mystery: Bathtub – Distilleria Illegale

Descending just a few steps from a quiet street in the city center, you suddenly find yourself immersed in a suspended atmosphere—stone walls, soft lighting, and an air thick with spices and stories. Bathtub – Distilleria Illegale is hidden inside a restored Renaissance palace, and the impression is that of entering an old-world alchemical laboratory, where drinking is a ritual and every detail seems to tell a story.

The cocktail menu revisits great classics with a South American and spicy twist—featuring artisanal spirits, notes of chocolate, medicinal herbs, and hints of lost elixirs. The venue, spread across several rooms, also offers more intimate spaces for those who wish to dine: from signature platters to fresh clam fettuccine, in a well-balanced dialogue between cuisine and mixology.

The crowd is varied and lively, especially on summer evenings, when it’s best to arrive a little early to find a spot. If you’re in the area, it’s worth stopping by: more than just a drink, here you experience a sensory journey that blends flavors, history, and imagination.
