Sala Astoria – Spanish
Sala Astoria transports diners to the sun-drenched landscapes of Spain, where the intoxicating aroma of toasted saffron and sizzling garlic fills a space alive with the rhythmic clinking of wine glasses. The experience centers on the art of the shared table, offering a vibrant parade of small plates and coastal classics that capture the bold, soulful essence of Mediterranean tradition. Each visit feels like a spirited celebration, inviting guests to linger over deep-red Riojas and the smoky, charred flavors of the wood-fired hearth.
