The story
Sironi & Mezzani presents modern Italian cuisine in Munich, drawing on the historic wine cellars of the Saffner family since 1924.
The Saffner family established the location in 1924, building a reputation anchored by the extensive wine cellars that characterize the venue. This subterranean infrastructure now supports a kitchen focused on modern Italian cooking, preserving the site's viticultural heritage while introducing new culinary directions. Diners experience meals within the cellar environment, surrounded by the enduring presence of a century-old wine business.
Head chef Federico Sironi directs the kitchen, working alongside Jon Mezzani to shape the menu's identity. They offer a small selection of inventive Italian dishes, prioritizing distinct flavors and balanced components over quantity. This concentrated format enables the duo to execute their vision for Italian cuisine with precision, ensuring every plate reflects their shared creative direction.
The Schlemmer Atlas awarded 2.5 spoons for 2026, validating the balance between the unique cellar setting and the chefs' innovative approach. This accolade highlights the restaurant's ability to harmonize traditional wine culture with contemporary gastronomy. The honor reinforces Sironi & Mezzani's position as a distinguished destination for modern Italian fare in Munich.
