Dziurka od klucza, Italian restaurant in Powiśle district, Warsaw, Poland
Dziurka od Klucza is an Italian restaurant in Warsaw's Powiśle district, with a dining room decorated with old doors, warm wood, and aquamarine-toned walls. The kitchen is open to the dining room, so guests can watch the food being prepared from their seats.
The restaurant is housed in a pre-war building in Powiśle, one of Warsaw's older neighborhoods that retained parts of its original street structure after the war. The space kept many of the building's original architectural features when it was set up as a restaurant.
The name means keyhole in Polish, and the interior is built around that idea, with old doors, wooden details, and salvaged objects filling the space. Sitting inside feels like stepping into a room that has gathered things over a long time.
The restaurant is in Powiśle, a neighborhood easy to reach on foot from the city center or from the riverbank. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially in the evening, as the space is small.
The fresh pasta is made by hand each day in the restaurant, and the recipes rotate with the seasons and draw from different parts of Italy. This means the menu can look quite different from one visit to the next.
