Bar Capitano Rossi opened in March 2026 on Gumpendorfer Straße in the 6th, run by Michael Roth. It's an all-day aperitivo bar — the kind of place where you can arrive at four in the afternoon and stay until the evening shifts into something else. The interior carries a backstreet Neapolitan register: the kind of bar that feels like it belongs somewhere else, which is exactly why it works here.
The Concept
Aperitivo culture is built on a specific idea: a drink, some snacks, a moment before dinner. Capitano Rossi extends that into a full operating day. The signature drink is the Donna Fumosa. The bar has been running Pride Month programming, which signals both a marketing budget and a genuine community orientation — not just a venue opening, but a place that's thinking about who it wants to be.
Location
Gumpendorfer Straße is the 6th's most active bar street. Capitano Rossi sits in the middle of it — easy to find once you know it's there, worth finding if you don't. The address puts it in the texture of Mariahilf's evening life, which is a good place to land.

- When
- 17 June 2026 – 31 July 2026
- Where
- 7th · Neubau
Francesco Fusaro, an Italian baker committed to sourdough and handcraft, has opened Altroché as a pop-up on Neustiftgasse 81 in the 7th. The range is proper Italian bakery: vegan cornetti, Bari-style focaccia, pizza slices, sourdough bread — all made on fermentation principles by one person. The 7th has no shortage of cafés, but a serious micro-bakery run on sourdough discipline is different. Fusaro plans a permanent Vienna location after the pop-up closes at the end of July. Open now through July 31.

- When
- 26 June 2026 – 31 August 2026
- Where
- 1st · Innere Stadt
Sekki is a three-month summer pop-up from Lucas 'Lucky' Shong and Jake Bergholtz, two of Vienna's most respected young chefs. They've taken over the evening service (Friday to Sunday, 6pm–midnight) at The Leo Grand's restaurant on Bauernmarkt 1 in the 1st district, running through the end of August. The menu is deliberately unpretentious — Kittseer sourdough, duck-butter, liver crème brûlée, Bergholtz's grandmother's apricot dumplings, Korean fried chicken — built from the network and experience both have accumulated across Vienna's best restaurants. The space itself is baroque and slightly kitschy; they're leaning into that rather than against it. It's the kind of kitchen that works best as a temporary thing, which is precisely why it's worth finding now.
