A Story of Italian Passion in the Heart of Antwerp
Founded in 2004, Civiltà del Bere quickly became a local favourite, an elegant Italian restaurant celebrating authentic flavours and timeless hospitality. From the very beginning, the vision was clear: to create a refined, welcoming space where exceptional food, fine wines, and heartfelt service come together in perfect harmony.
The kitchen has always been guided by Italian culinary tradition and the Mediterranean mindset, where simplicity, purity, and passion define every dish.
Only the finest ingredients are used, many carefully sourced and imported from Italy to preserve the true essence of Italian cuisine.
Classic recipes are reimagined with a modern twist, blending authenticity with creativity.
Over the years, Civiltà del Bere has continued to evolve, bringing fresh energy and inspiration to the menu. Traditional Italian favourites remain at its core, complemented by new seasonal creations that highlight the best of what each season has to offer, always prepared with passion, precision, and a touch of la dolce vita.
