Ristorante italiano, 27 rue de l'Aiguillerie, Montpellier
The main room
The setting of a historic townhouse, enhanced by magnificent medieval vaults and colours inspired by Italy. Here, house cocktails and Italian cooking come together to create a warm and authentic experience.
From long-matured dough to syrups made on site — four good reasons to push the door open.
Long-matured dough, oven-baked. From the Margherita to the Pistacchio.
Spritz, Negroni and house creations — syrups and bitters made on site.
Mezze alla Carbonara, Linguine Tutto Tartufo, Ravioli Porcini e Stracciatella — the classics, made in-house.
A list from the north to the south of Italy, from Prosecco to Champagne.
A 100% Italian kitchen, entirely homemade. A good part of our ingredients comes straight from Italy, at their freshest; the rest we source from trusted producers, in step with the seasons. Quality first, no compromise.
Our burrata comes three ways: classic with olive oil, with truffle and truffle carpaccio, or with spicy 'nduja and spianata chips.
Around it, everything that belongs in the middle of the table: the gratinéed Melanzana a Scarpone, Camembert al Forno melting in our pizza dough, and generous boards of Italian charcuterie and creamy cheeses.
The Torta di Mele comes warm, with roasted apples, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and salted butter caramel. Alongside it: the French-toast-style Brioche al Tiramisù, the Cromboloni al Pistacchio and the Panna Cotta Cioccolato.
Can't choose? The café gourmand serves three of them in miniature. There's always room for dessert.
Here, the party starts at the bar, at aperitivo time: Spritz, Negroni, or our house cocktails like the Rosa St-Germain and the Basilic Smash — made with syrups and bitters prepared on site. Not to mention a fine list of Italian wines and our bubbles, from Prosecco to Champagne.
And then there's the music — the soul of Discovolante. The finest Italian playlists in the background, the volume rising as the evening goes on, and that lightness that makes you want to stay. Lunch and dinner, big tables and dolce vita: around here, Italy doesn't wait.
Discovolante began with a simple wish: to bring to Montpellier the lightness of Italian evenings — the ones where you sit down without watching the clock, the music rises gently and the last amaro always comes too soon.
The name says it all: the “flying saucer”, a joyful wink to the Italy of the dolce vita years.
From the building, Discovolante has kept its vaults and stone — a setting warmed by pink and burgundy, soft lighting and a bar made for lingering.
The rest follows the same stubborn, simple rule: ingredients that come from Italy, a kitchen that's all homemade, cocktails made at the bar. Nothing complicated — just Italy, like home.
Marble tables, red-and-white woven chairs and the golden stone of the Écusson all around: our terrace on rue de l'Aiguillerie.
At lunch for a pizza in the sun, in the evening for an aperitivo that lingers.
