About this Event

🎬 An evening where great cinema meets great food.

Picture this: warm piadinas fresh off the griddle, a drink in hand, the night air around you — and one of the most powerful films ever made flickering on screen. This isn't just a movie night. It's an experience.

The Film: Bicycle Thieves (Ladri di Biciclette, 1948)

Directed by Vittorio De Sica, Bicycle Thieves is widely considered one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. Winner of an Honorary Academy Award, it was voted the best film of all time by the British Film Institute for decades — and for good reason.

Set in post-war Rome, the film follows Antonio, a desperately poor man who finally lands a job after years of unemployment — one that requires a bicycle. On his very first day, the bicycle is stolen. What follows is a heartbreaking and deeply human journey through the streets of Rome as Antonio and his young son Bruno search the city together, uncovering a world of poverty, pride, and moral complexity.

De Sica shot the film entirely on location, with non-professional actors, capturing a Rome that was raw, real, and alive. There are no villains. No heroes. Just people — doing what they must to survive. In just 89 minutes, it will make you feel more than most films manage in a lifetime.

It is a film about a bicycle. It is a film about everything.

The Evening

🫓 Artisanal piadinas — crafted with care, not shortcuts 🍹 Curated drinks — the perfect company for the film 🌙 Intimate atmosphere — limited seats, real connection ✅ Everything included in your ticket. No surprises.

Why you should be there

Because some films deserve to be seen with others. Because a story this human is best felt in a room full of people who chose to show up for it. Because piadina and cinema and a warm May night is, honestly, the kind of evening you'll talk about long after.

Limited seats. Don't wait.
