The story
Aida - vino e cucina is an Italian restaurant and wine bar at Ressam Şeref Akdik Sokak No:10 in Caferağa Mahallesi, Kadıköy, Istanbul. Gault&Millau gave it a score of 12 for 2026, and Michelin lists it as Recommended that year.
The kitchen reinterprets traditional Italian cooking with contemporary touches. The menu covers pizza, pasta, risotto, antipasti and meat dishes. It was designed to complement Italian wines, so the food and the bottle are chosen with each other in mind.
The space feels welcoming and intimate, closer to a neighbourhood gathering spot than a formal dining room. Air conditioning is among its listed features.
