The FmLAB kitchen: a cook plating at the counter

FmLAB Deli and Bistrot.

Cucina Cucinata.

What you see on the counter was made right here, right now.

Our brigade's hands finishing a vegetable dish in natural light

All cooked. And you can see it.

Just a few steps from Fmarket Café, on Via Torricelli, you'll find our lab.

It's a deli, because what you see on the counter, you can buy and take home.

And it's a bistrot, because at lunchtime you can sit down and eat in a relaxed setting.

No secrets. Fabrizio Mantovani and his brigade cook right in front of you. Vegetables take center stage, bringing the whole garden into the kitchen.

Our cooking, at your table or ours.

Our dishes — the counter

Fresh preparations, every single day.

On the counter you'll find the chef's famous ratatouille di verdure, whipped baccalà mantecato, baked rabbit, and roast chicken. Plus, the garden dishes that change with the seasons.

Pick-up at the counter: a paper bag and a tray with a clear lid changing hands

Lunch to go

From Tuesday to Saturday. You drop by, pick it up, and your lunch break changes flavor.
