Tanka Sapkota’s four restaurants
IL MERCATO
More than a restaurant specializing in homemade organic fresh pasta, it is also a grocery store that aims to “democratize” the best Italian products.
CASA NEPALESA
A cozy, rustic room with an intimate atmosphere. The menu features Asian/Nepalese dishes based on chicken, vegetables, prawns, goat, and of course, ancient spices ground in-house.
