Pastis is a sealess port where businessmen in search of peace and simplicity land, rather than the "municipal" crowd, young students commuting between Balon and the university campus, and customers of the Porta Palazzo stalls, rather than a hub where writers, artists, and musicians flock, and where initiatives related to culture and art, especially emerging and underground, take root.
At the bar counter, which recalls the 1960s décor of the Caffè Paulista, Pernod pairs beautifully with Barone Pizzini's sparkling wines, at any time of day, from breakfast to after-dinner. In the kitchen, the unmistakable flavors of the Mediterranean Sea reign supreme, pairing beautifully with more homey favorites.
