20e20 consists of two small rooms. One is a restaurant and the other is a wine shop. The owners first opened the wine shop, in via Gadames 20 A, and then the restaurant, in via Gadames 20 B, so they decided to call it 20e20.
It's a really cozy ambient. They usually offer you a tasty appetizer to start your meal. The staff helps you to choose among a variety of dishes, all made with typical and fresh products selected by the chef and matched together to create uncommon tastes. They use only seasonal products so I go there when the season changes to see what's new on the menu and it never disappoints me!
Everything is accompanied by a good selection of wines and by a few different kinds of bread, all baked there. I strongly recommend you try all of them.
The restaurant is open at lunch and dinner. I usually give a call before I go because it only has a few tables and it's always really crowded.
