Acetaia has been on Nymphenburger Straße, right by the Nymphenburg Canal, since 1999. In Emilia an acetaia is the room where traditional Aceto Balsamico matures for years in wooden barrels; guests can also buy aged balsamico here. The dining room, with Art Nouveau details, large candelabra and warm wood panelling, creates a calm, elegant atmosphere, and in summer food is served outdoors in the shady courtyard.
Giorgio Maetzke is in the kitchen, while Michele Perego is host and sommelier. The menu relies on selected Italian produce, handmade pasta and flavours that live on maturity and patience, from parmigiano to vinegar. The Guide MICHELIN recommends the ravioli with sheep’s cheese. Giorgio’s menu has four courses for €95, and Perego’s wine pairing costs €50; à la carte, fish and meat dishes range from €39 to €48.
Gambero Rosso counts the wine list among the best-structured Italian selections in Munich, focused on native grape varieties and with many magnums, plus a few rare French wines. Acetaia is particularly suited to a dinner for two or a summer evening outdoors, combined with a stroll along the canal. If you like, take home a bottle of Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale; the version aged for 25 years costs €115.
Good to know: Closed on Wednesdays, open only in the evening on Saturdays.
