D’Istinto in Terni is more than a café; it’s a cornerstone and vibrant hub of community life. In the morning, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, inviting guests to start their day with warmth. At lunch, the savory scent of delicious pasta made with locally sourced ingredients delights the senses. As the day turns to evening, the fragrant zest of expertly crafted cocktails adds a festive note to aperitivo. Its warm, inviting atmosphere brings people together, fostering connections and joyful moments that create lifelong memories. A gathering spot for friends and families, D’Istinto embodies the essence of Terni—a place where good food and great company make life truly special. Every meal and conversation at their tables nourishes not only the bodies of the Ternani but also their souls, contributing to the prosperity of the city.
At the heart of their success is the seamless collaboration between the three partners and their dedicated team. Cristiano, Michela, and Roberto bring a combination of expertise, passion, and vision that elevates every aspect of the customer experience. Their shared dedication is reflected in the smiles of returning customers and the familiar energy that fills the space daily.
From morning pastries and coffee to hearty lunches and vibrant evenings featuring bistro fare like artisanal burgers and Roman pinsa, it offers something for every taste. Their WhatsApp delivery service ensures no meal is out of reach. Meanwhile, the artistry of their bar shines, with cocktails that are as inspiring as they are refreshing, blending flavors and aromas to perfection.
D’Istinto embodies the Ternana spirit: resilient, welcoming, and authentic. More than just a café, it serves as a cultural hub, where food and drink unite people. Every aspect, from its diverse menu to its community-focused ethos, elevates hospitality to an art form.
As I reflected in my previous article on the Ternana way of life, D’Istinto holds a special place in the hearts of the local community. Over the years, the three founders have transformed their café into a haven for life’s many moments, whether it’s a productive business meeting or a relaxed gathering with friends.
