The idea of ​​a place for two

This quaint restaurant came about after a series of unpleasant experiences that Remo, the owner of Solo Per Due, had in several restaurants. He frequented noisy and confusing places, with long queues, where he and his son were placed at small, poorly located tables, close to the bathrooms or the kitchen, simply because there were only two of them.

The ambience includes a melodious piano, a fireplace to warm hearts in love, candles to increase romanticism and two plush red sofas for enjoying aperitifs and digestifs. The atmosphere is one of pure refinement, with vintage furniture, busts of historical figures, elegant patterns on the tables and fabrics, and robust flowers in every corner of the room.

A charming garden

The exterior of the restaurant is a refined garden with a wonderful view. In summer, the garden blooms and offers a view of the olive grove and the valley of vineyards under the strawberry trees. The garden is unique in that it focuses on one type of tree: the palm tree. It is made up of palm tree species from all over the world, such as the Chinese mill palm, the Martian wind palm, the Canary date palm, the California palm, the Mexican blue palm, among others.
