La Vecchia Bottega: fresh pasta and a wine-bar feel on Medená
By Matej Horváth · 14 June 2026 · 1 min read
La Vecchia Bottega isn't trying to win you over with portion size or a flashy interior — it leans on the taste of freshly made pasta and a well-curated wine list.
What to try
The homemade pasta is the obvious order, alongside a ham-and-cheese antipasti plate and a glass of Italian wine or prosecco. The menu shifts with the season, so it's worth asking about the day's recommendations.
Atmosphere
A small, cosy space with a welcome that reviewers repeatedly describe as warm. It reads more like a family-run spot than a restaurant built for high table turnover.
Good to know
A good pick for a casual dinner for two. Prices sit in the mid-range, in line with the ingredient quality and service.

Gatto Matto Panská
Dough with a subtly fermented texture and a micro-crispiness that's hard to find elsewhere. Long one of the city's most loved Italian addresses.
