Voglio Bene

The gem of Riga’s Art Nouveau district, Vogliо Bene is a vibrant ode to the love of life itself. This cinematic, Fellini-inspired salumeria-osteria brings Italy’s soul to the table with treasures sourced directly from nearly every region: Carraro lardo, Parma prosciutto, niche wines, and irresistible deli delights stop by their salumeria-shop for quick takeaways. From 17:00 to 19:00 on Fri, Sat, Sun, the aperitivo hours with complimentary snacks at the bar shimmers with Italian flair, offering mixologist-level classica fusion cocktails (don’t miss the rhubarb Negroni), and an easy, joyful buzz. In the open kitchen ruled by internationally acclaimed head chef Taras Dudenko, Napoli-style pizzas and homemade pastas share the stage with regional gems like polpette, saltimbocca alla romana, tender lamb tongue, and fegato alla veneziana. To finish, a scoop of silky homemade gelato or a delicate millefeuille feels like a love letter to sweet simplicity. Cozy, spotless, and stylishly 1950s, with a charming cinema room, Voglio Bene is where Fellini’s spirit and Giulietta Masina’s grace dance together over a perfect glass of wine. Professional weathered team, inspiring Italian dishes that you probably never tried before, down-to-earth prices.
