Renowned Italian actress Sophia Loren is set to open her third restaurant, all under her name, in the southern Italian city of Bari.

The inauguration is scheduled for September 26th, but this time it will not be attended by Sophia Loren herself, who suffered a domestic accident and underwent hip surgery last Sunday (24th).

The choice of Bari has special significance, as the actress has deep ties to the city, where she filmed “Life ahead of him'” (Rosa and Momo) in 2020, under the direction of his son Edoardo Ponti. The film highlighted the beauty of Bari's old town, and its soundtrack, “Io Sì”, sung by Laura Pausini, was nominated for an Oscar.

The "Sophia Loren Restaurant” is a celebration of traditional Italian cuisine with the famous actress's touch of glamour.

Each establishment is an expression of the authenticity and quality of the actress who charmed movie screens and now also the palates of lovers of Italian food.
