Caffe
Stern. The restaurant is incredibly cozy for a Starck designed interior. The
space is divided into small dinning rooms with embossed Codorvan leather on the
walls. “The coming together of Stern and the Alajmo brothers is magic,”
explains Starck. “Like the engraver Stern, the Alajmos cultivate excellence and
originality. To honor this union, we barely transformed the historical
landmark: we just improved the existing magic. The resulting environment is
fantastic, probably the nicest and most enjoyable bacaro in the world. A visit
to Caffe Stern by Alajmo is a journey through time, history, culture, and an
invitation to create and strive for excellence. Our contribution is magic,
poetry, surrealism and, of course, food.”
