Speicherstadt & Hafencity

There are still a few buildings used as warehouses for carpets, coffee, tea and spices. However the warehouse district that was once built up as a customs free area called Speicherstadt, nowadays houses mainly museums, restaurants and offices. In the last few years many creative agencies have been attracted by the charm of its red brick buildings, and have moved to this historical harbour, built around a series of narrow canals. It sits right next to the gleaming glass and steel of the modern HafenCity, Europe's largest urban renewal development project.

Bella Italia

To be honest this restaurant doesn't score as the best Italian food in this area, but it definitely offers the best atmosphere! The decoration screams Italian, from the big Ferrari poster to the little porcelain figurines. Every time you can discover another kitsch prop item on the wall or on the window. All items were hand picked by "Abele, the music making innkeeper from the Abruzzi". Which is why Friday lunches at Bella Italia are a classic for us. Next to the main restaurant there is an outside stall with a cut-down menu where dishes cost a little less.
