“Buenasera!” This is the greeting you are more than likely to hear from restaurant manager Guiseppe “Pippo“ Culoso if you visit Munich’s Trattoria Alba. This popular restaurant in the elegant Bogenhausen district of Munich is always packed and in addition to Willy Bogner, celebrity playboy and photographer Gunter Sachs is a regular customer. “It’s the friendliest Italian in Munich as far as I’m concerned,” enthuses Willy Bogner. But perhaps summer is the most attractive time of the year to visit Trattoria Alba; then you can enjoy your fresh pasta and chilled champagne in the shade of the beer garden’s chestnut trees.
