From first light to late at night
The Minotti opens early and closes late, as it has for a hundred years. Five moments, the same living room.
At midday
Lunch
Home-made pasta, grilled meats and the dishes of the day, in the red velvet lounge or on the veranda. For a break from work, or a lunch that lasts a little longer.
The kitchen
At sunset
Aperitivo time
Spritz, Campari, sparkling wine by the glass and small plates from the buffet. Champagne was poured by the glass here when other bars were still serving fizzy lemonade.
Aperitivi and wine by the glass
In the evening
Dinner
At dinner, the Minotti’s kitchen in the dining room. In summer the table moves to the garden, under the wicker lanterns of Shabby.
Shabby
Until late
Night at the bar
Signature drinks with house-made syrups and foams, the great classics, the gin list and the spirits Vincenzo chooses the only way he knows: by tasting them, one by one.
Signature drinks
100 years of Caffè Minotti, since 1926
«Anyone born in Frosinone has walked into Caffè Minotti at least once in their life.»
Velvet, crystal and green
The red velvet Chester sofa, the crystal chandeliers, the green wall and the cream armchairs: the living room where Frosinone meets, sits down and stays.
The room today, renovated in 2017 with a European-style veranda.

At Caffè Minotti, in Terracina on Piazza Mazzini, and soon in Piazza Turriziani, in the upper town of Frosinone.
