The cuisine of the elves is all the rage, appreciated chefs to propose a real banquet signed Harry Potter. His adventures captivate us by reading JK Rowling's books, watching dedicated films, and involving the sense of taste in the places created ad hoc under the hat of perhaps the most loved wizard in the world. The pub, in Bergamo, dedicated to Harry Potter is not the first and it will certainly not be the last. “Welcome to Hogwarts” is the invitation, a very special imaginary school of magic and witchcraft, the main venue where the Harry Potter stories are set and which for the occasion is re-proposed in Bergamo. In the Rowling volumes, the kitchens are located directly under the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle. Food is placed on the tables downstairs and from there magically appears on the tables above, prepared by over a hundred house elves. Will this also be the case in the much in vogue reinterpretations of Harry Potter pub or restaurant version?

What is certain is that al Magic Pub track of Bergamo you can sit at the table next to a huge Troll, to savor an appetizing hamburger with the Basilisk, the king of snakes with a bright green color. For dessert, nothing better than a sweet Snaso (similar to the fantastic animal of the saga) with pistachio. And there is also there to distract yourself Chamber of Secrets and the gallery of talking paintings wrapped in "ancient" cobwebs. Further on, here is Fanny the Phoenix whose colorful feathers are so precious that they are used for the soul of the Harry Potter wand. But also that of his worst enemy, Lord Voldemort….

Menu and environment in the name of the best tradition of Harry Potter magical tales

There really is something for everyone at this themed venue, dal Invisibility Cloak that you can buy - discounted by 50 percent - but obviously impossible to see and even less to touch. To the sock for Dobby, the very faithful house elf (just like those in charge of the kitchens) who helped Harry Potter escape from Villa Malfoy. At the end of the meal, a nice toast with Butterbeer, a strictly magical drink “which is served cold in bottles and hot in foamy mugs”. And there is the case to meet, if you go to the toilet, even the sad ghost of Moaning Myrtle. Finally, Gringotts, the first bank in the wizarding world and perhaps also the safest, can only be the place where the cashier of this original themed venue is located.

From Bergamo to Pescara, up to Biancavilla and Ercolano, the fashion of pubs dedicated to the wizard saga

The details and characters of the magical Harry Potter stories are found almost everywhere at the Binario Magic Pub, where the care of the settings down to the smallest details has positively surprised the many fans of the fantasy hero invented by JK Rowling. But it is not the only one. TO Pescara, at the Three Broomsticks they use, as the restaurant sign says, “the best Butterbeer”. And at the Gryffindor Public House, a Biancavilla near Catania, in addition to food, there are games, books and events related to Harry Potter. Also opening soon to Herculaneum a pub entirely dedicated to the literary and above all cinematographic saga of the prince of fantasy.

Magically at the table, therefore, between Calderotti and owl biscuits, feverish fondants and boiling bubble gum. Feather of sugar and Toad with mint, but perhaps the latter will be difficult to find and taste. From appetizers to desserts, passing through magic wands with licorice and explosive Bon bon. Sprinkle yourself not only with Butterbeer which is the favorite drink of wizards of all ages, but also with Acqua allegra and Acquaviola, to finish with an incendiary or fiery Whiskey, and who knows what effect it will do ...
