The Cerea family continues to write important pages in the history of Italian and international cuisine. With the opening of DaV Cantalupa, the group is once again broadening its horizons, offering a format that combines freshness, conviviality, and the unmistakable style of the Da Vittorio tradition. After the success of DaV in various cities, this new venture represents a return to its roots and, at the same time, an innovative challenge, capable of creating a dialogue between the local area and the family's creativity.
The sea at the heart of the cuisine
At DaV Cantalupa, the sea is the soul of the menu. Here, fish returns to its rightful place as the star of the show, interpreted according to what is available at the market each day. It is this direct link with the catch of the day that makes the gastronomic offering constantly different, lively, and surprising. Cooking methods change, textures are reinvented, but the common thread remains the quality of the raw ingredients, which has always been the Cerea family's trademark.
There is no shortage of dishes that immediately and deliciously convey the restaurant's philosophy: from grilled sardines skewered on sticks to eat with your hands, to tuna tataki with confit cherry tomatoes, designed to be shared at the table. These dishes speak of simplicity, conviviality, and the pleasure of taste.
The words of the Cerea family
The Cerea family is best placed to describe the new opening, explaining the spirit of the project as follows: "At DaV Cantalupa, fish takes center stage once again, with the best of the day's market interpreted through different cooking methods and textures depending on availability. For example, we offer delicious grilled sardines, skewered and eaten with your hands, as well as tuna tataki with confit cherry tomatoes, designed as always to be shared. The DaV Cantalupa team is young but already well-trained, with experience gained both in fine dining restaurants and in other DaV outlets, where they have been able to experiment with the casual smart formula. It's a winning combination, but the welcome and service provided by our staff is always in true Da Vittorio style. DaV Cantalupa has just opened, but we will be looking into possible initiatives in the future to make this experience even more enjoyable and engaging." Stay tuned!
A young team with solid foundations
The project is supported by a team of young people who, despite their age, already have a wealth of experience behind them. Their training comes from two complementary worlds: that of fine dining, cultivated within the walls of Da Vittorio, and that of more informal dining at the other DaV outlets. This combination has created a dynamic and skilled team, capable of combining technical rigor with an innovative spirit. The result is a winning mix that allows us to maintain the highest gastronomic standards while offering a lighter, more spontaneous experience that is closer to the public.
Hospitality, in pure Da Vittorio style
While the cuisine moves lightly between market freshness and creativity, the welcome remains a constant. The Da Vittorio style is recognizable in its attention to detail, its warmth, and its ability to make every guest feel like part of the family. This is what makes every experience unique, from the Michelin-starred restaurant to the more casual formats: the feeling of being welcomed and pampered in an environment that is always refined and special.
A space that looks ahead
DaV Cantalupa is not just a restaurant, but a constantly evolving project. Although it has only just opened, it is already looking to the future with the aim of enriching its offering with events and initiatives that make the experience even more engaging. The cuisine and service will be the starting point, but the idea is to build a place that can become a reference point for those seeking quality, conviviality, and a touch of surprise.
The philosophy of sharing
DaV Cantalupa is based on the philosophy of sharing: dishes designed to be enjoyed together, flavors that invite conviviality, an environment that breaks the mold of rigidity without sacrificing elegance. It is the Cerea tradition reinterpreted in a modern key, a way to speak to different audiences without ever betraying its roots.
A promise for the future
With this new opening, the Cerea family confirms its ability to innovate without losing its identity. DaV Cantalupa brings the sea to Cantalupa and transforms it into a gastronomic experience that combines quality and pleasure, tradition and lightness, impeccable service and contemporary spirit. A new address that is not just a restaurant, but a promise for the future, where every guest will be invited to discover and share taste according to the vision of the Cerea family.
