About

Palatino is a warm and inviting Roman‑style trattoria tucked into the heart of Bordeaux’s historic centre. The 850‑square‑meter space marries ancient stone vaults with a dramatic balcony, theatre‑inspired period statues, and 1950s black‑and‑white photographs of Italian families that give the ambience a nostalgic, almost museum‑like feel. The menu is a celebration of traditional Italian cuisine, featuring homemade, seasonal dishes crafted by Chef Nino Ciufo and his team. Highlights include the creamy 250‑gram burrata, the delicate Punta d’Anca beef bresaola, and classic “ruota di carretto” pizzas, all complemented by a selection of Italian wines and signature cocktails. Visitor-friendly, Palatino welcomes both walk‑in diners and reservations, with special group catering for 10–30 guests. Ideal for a relaxed dinner or a romantic night out, the restaurant’s blend of authentic flavour, historic décor, and attentive service ensures that every meal feels like a journey to Italy right in the middle of Bordeaux.
