The place
A minimarket. Sort of.
Via Alfredo Albertini 8, behind Via Paolo Sarpi. A small place with full shelves and a little square out front. Open since spring 2026.
The idea
Social bar with a kitchen.
The name says everything and nothing. 市场 means “market”: we're in Chinatown and the place is built like a corner minimarket, with shelves of cereal, sauces and bottles as the backdrop. Except here you don't buy the products: you drink and eat them at the table.
Three things together, each taken seriously: home-made Italian cooking, a bar with cocktails done properly, music out of the orange wooden speakers. None of them crowding out the others.
Inside and out
Two venues in one
Intimate, with a lamp on the table
A few tables, low light, music “softly in the background, never getting in the way of the conversation”. The right room for a dinner for four or an aperitivo that runs long.
The square out front
In summer the decks move onto the square and people stop “for a cocktail in front of the minimarket”. High tables, umbrellas, the street going by.
The kitchen
Home-made, for real.
The pasta is fresh, the focaccia comes out warm, the tiramisù is whipped by us. The aperitivo tapas change every night with what's in: pasta bites, meatballs, salmon, bruschetta. Honest portions, fair prices.
