CŎCĪNA, pronounced kɔ-ki-na, was born in 2016 in the Châtelain district from an unconditional love of Italy and its gastronomy for Carmelo Licata and Antoine Bradfer. A modern yet ultra-authentic cuisine revolving around the seasons, direct arrivals from Italy and the cravings of the moment.
Following our trattoria italiana, a pizzeria & aperitivo bar opened in 2017 in the bustling Flagey district. Joined by Eleonora Giordano, Madame CŎCĪNA, the establishment offers genuine Neapolitan pizza, crisp and airy, in a lively atmosphere.
Our squadra expanded again in 2018 with the opening of Bistro Nazionale, an emblematic sun-drenched corner in the center of the golden triangle: Place Flagey - Etang d'Ixelles - Avenue Louise. O' Sole Mio ambience guaranteed. Enjoy Italian-style bistro cuisine in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Following the closure of restaurants during the pandemic, the trio set up Gabriella, a delicatessen and caterer, on the emblematic Place Saint-Job in Uccle. An essential means of continuing to share the secrets of vera Cucina italianna, right down to the casa. Today, Gabriella focuses exclusively on events.
Want to know our secret? It's Italy. Our Squadra 100% italiana and fresh, seasonal produce direct from the best producers. Our teams work hard every day to bring out the best in your dishes and share their love of the country.
