VINCE Trattoria

Hanover, Germany

Looking for a slice of authentic Italy in Hannover? At the new VINCE Trattoria, you’ll find just that. Savor Venetian-style Cicchetti at the bar, under a softly glowing pasta nest, and let yourself be surrounded by Tuscan tones and textures. It’s more than a meal—it’s a celebration of Italian conviviality.

On nearly 190 m², we’ve created a space that blends refined design, skilled craftsmanship, and the warmth of Italian hospitality into a unique experience. The centerpiece of the trattoria is the 19-meter-long Cicchetti bar. Floating above the oval counter is the iconic “pasta nest,” a sculptural light installation made of backlit wooden tagliatelle—an homage to the culinary heart of the house: fresh, handmade pasta. Nearby, a walk-in glass vinoteca with more than 300 carefully selected Italian wines awaits, a delight for wine lovers and connoisseurs alike.

Warm, natural materials - like red-brown stone, terracotta brick walls, olive-green fabrics, and oak flooring - create a sensory-rich, authentic ambiance. The color palette draws inspiration from Tuscany’s landscapes and brings the diversity of nature indoors. The open layout allows guests to take in the full atmosphere, while cozy, round seating alcoves with plush cushions offer private corners to unwind. For a touch of true Italian togetherness, a long communal table invites guests to gather and share - framed by views into the peaceful inner courtyard, where 40 additional seats provide space for al fresco moments.
