At the Pitti Restaurant, the quality of the ingredients is at the heart of a successful dish. The menu offers a wide selection of dishes inspired by Italy’s rich culinary traditions. From classic pasta carbonara with pancetta and rocket to grilled sea bass and tender fillets of beef – every dish is prepared with fresh, regional ingredients. It is this dedication to freshness and authenticity that makes the culinary experience at Pitti so special and unforgettable.
The Pitti Restaurant is more than just a place for culinary enjoyment. Contemporary art is also a feast for the eyes. Original works by artists such as Heinz Mack, Stefan Szczesny, Günther Uecker and Stephan Kaluza adorn the walls and give the restaurant a special, gallery-like atmosphere. The green walls and the nature drawings in the winter garden are reminiscent of the famous Boboli Gardens next to the Palazzo Pitti in Florence and create the ubiquitous Italian connection between good food and art.
None other than Anna Maria Luisa de’ Medici, wife of Jan Wellem, is said to have brought joie de vivre and artistic flair from Florence to Düsseldorf. The Trattoria Pitti takes its name from the Palazzo Pitti, residence of the Dukes of Florence. Inspired by Italy’s creative essence, the Pitti invites you to enjoy dishes and wines in a special ambience.
The Mutter Ey Café in the Andreas Quartier is a tribute to Johanna Ey. Known as “Mother Ey”, the gallery owner and patron of the arts supported students at the art academy and artists such as Otto Dix and Max Ernst in the 1920s. Her commitment and the atmosphere of her café are revived here: art and culinary delights come together in the most beautiful way.

The Stateroom is reminiscent of the days of Prohibition, when alcohol flowed freely in the secret ballrooms of the Roaring Twenties in the USA despite the ban. In most cases, you could only get through the inconspicuous doors if you knew the code word – a precautionary measure against the law enforcers.
