Open this idea →Livia is what happens when two people who take sourdough seriously refuse to choose between morning and night. By day it's a warm Italian cafe of marble and timber with a pastry case built to wreck your resolve, cornetti and espresso done properly. By evening the lights drop and it becomes a wine bar, so the same date runs easy or brave. Grandview Park handles the rest.
