La Scuderia is a restaurant based on the Italian lifestyle, where you can enjoy bold flavors, high-quality ingredients and relaxed togetherness. The restaurant concept draws inspiration from the urban atmosphere of Milan and Italian food culture, offering guests an experience where modern Italy meets the urban culture of Turku.
In Milan, l'Aperitivo means a relaxed meeting at the counter of your own corner bar – over a refreshing drink and a small snack before the actual meal. La Scuderia brings this Italian tradition to the Art House, serving Italian cold cuts, cheeses and other snacks in shareable portions on the house's own focaccia bread. The menu also features changing main courses, and the drinks list includes classic Spritzes, refreshing non-alcoholic options and an elegant Ferrari sparkling wine, which completes a true aperitivo moment.
