It's exactly as you imagine when you utter the name of this restaurant. The world of "Dziurki od klucza" is enchanted, from the decor to the kitchen. What's more, this magic has remained unchanged over the years, despite the restaurant changing its location! This only proves that it's made by people with passion, knowledge, skills, and consistency. Thanks to this, when you order your favourite dish that has been on the menu since the restaurant's inception, you'll experience the same delight. True connoisseurs know that this represents a culinary level unavailable to everyone. "Dziurka od klucza" has been around since 2012, originally located in Powiśle. A small venue, always crowded with customers eager for Italian flavours.

Today, the restaurant occupies two large halls in the charming Fort Sluzew in Ursynów, and queues still form at the entrance. A new addition to the menu is Neapolitan pizza, baked in an oven with top-quality toppings, continuing the successful direction of Italian cuisine. Perfectly baked crust with crispy edges, stretchy cheese, and several different flavour variations. Just like the famous pastas from "Keyhole" in the past, they remain consistently delightful. Mouth-watering spaghetti with paprika sauce, caramelised onions, honey, and sirloin, or Pomodoro spaghetti with stracciatella, where creamy mozzarella from the Apulia region makes this dish unforgettable. We can't forget about desserts! Because they deserve a separate chapter, but we'll tell you just this much-those who have tried them have requested that the cakes be sold whole in the restaurant so they can take that flavour home, sharing it with loved ones, preserving the Italian tradition.

We won't write a word here about the interiors, music, or the countless items on the menu. No, because "La Mia Italia" is simply a place where you'll eat so well that you'll feel like the most talented Italian mamma is at the helm of the kitchen! And indeed, that's exactly how it is! Maybe not an Italian, but a Pole, who, however, built her culinary skill over the years, visiting corners of Italy where taste, quality, and tradition are the true foundations of cuisine. When Elżbieta Duda learned practically every secret of real Italian homemakers and outstanding chefs, she decided to open a local in Poland and serve her guests everything she had learned. For several years now, she, a chef who independently shaped her craft just like she did, and a friendly pizzaiolo, have been feeding the people of Warsaw with the most authentic Italian cuisine.

You'll futilely look for an empty table during lunchtime because the restaurant is located in the midst of Mokotów's office buildings. Homemade gnocchi, spaghetti, pizza, but also salads, soups, and desserts-everything you'll find on the menu. And believe us, you won't stop at just one visit, even if you have to navigate through Warsaw's Mordor traffic every day. Well, it turns out that from Domaniewska Street, it's very close to Naples.

Someone once told us that if we visit an Italian restaurant and there are customers from Italy, we should definitely stay longer and savour every bite of both the dishes and the specific atmosphere. In Casa Italia, we sat down and had no desire to leave... The place is run by a native Italian who, from a young age, observed the culinary secrets of his grandfather, who ran a restaurant in Italy. The restaurant has been operating for several years and has managed to earn the appreciation of connoisseurs of Italian cuisine. Guests are treated with Italian openness and Polish hospitality. Casa Italia entices with a mood-setting interior, and the homey atmosphere is co-created by an exhibition of wines, a collection of homemade pasta, flavoured olive oils, balsamic on cream or vinaigrette, all originally produced in Italy!

A strong point of the restaurant is a carefully composed wine list, imported from Italy from friendly wineries such as Giarola and Bernard. Special attention is deserved by menu items such as Italian chestnut cream, pettegole with truffle, or Saltimbocca on mushroom risotto with grilled vegetables. Every last Friday of the month, there is an event called "Evening of Italian Flavors," during which, with live music, Italian delicacies are served in a buffet style, 'all you can eat.' It's an excellent opportunity to feel the atmosphere of real Italy and indulge in excellent food.
