“Davvero” is an Italian word that translates to “really” or “truly”.
Italian elevated dining is characterized by its use of fresh, high-quality ingredients, traditional cooking techniques, and a focus on regional specialties. Many Italian restaurants pride themselves on their use of locally sourced ingredients, and on the authenticity of their dishes. The experience of dining at an Italian high-quality restaurant is often seen as a celebration of the country’s rich culinary heritage. Davvero Restaurant in Lisbon is the perfect place to go.
The menu at Davvero Restaurant typically features a variety of antipasti (starters), pasta dishes, seafood, meats and a dessert menu. Under the vision of Chef Isaac Kumi (from Venice and with the school of Cipriani, New York, Dubai, Abu Dabi), along with Sous-Chef Pedro Calhau, Davvero brings a new italian gastronomic vision to Lisbon.
A traditional Italian meal often begins with antipasti, which may include items such as prosciutto and melon, bruschetta, or a selection of cured meats and cheeses. But at Davvero we defy the traditional with courses as “bacalá mantecato”, “risi bisi” and “polpetta”, all origin from the area of Venice, and made with the most surprising ingredients, like for example fresh cod. Yes, in Italy fresh cod is king in several simple recipes. This is followed by a pasta course, which can range from classic dishes such as “Risotto di Zucca, Radicchio, Morlacco e Speck” or “Spaghettoni Cacio e Pepe”, the true proof of an elevated italian restaurant because of the simplicity that requires a high level of technique, to more contemporary creations.
The main course is usually a meat or fish dish, often accompanied by a selection of vegetables. Desserts may include classics such as tiramisu or panna cotta, as well as more modern offerings. The art of our pastry Chef Mauro Abignente from Puglia takes us to a new level of artistry in dessert making.
The atmosphere of an Italian sophisticated restaurant is also an important aspect of the experience. Many restaurants feature elegant decor, with white tablecloths, candlelight, and a warm, welcoming ambiance. The service is attentive and personalized, with staff who is knowledgeable about the menu and the restaurant’s offerings. At Davvero you will find a touch of the unique Harry’s Bar in Venice and the sophistication of Cipriani Downtown NY.
