    Local fish is the star of the show at DaV Mare. From Monterosso anchovies to Santa Margherita prawns, our menu celebrates the bounty of the surrounding bay. Sea meets land in exceptional dishes, like our creamed risotto with pesto, prawns and tomato emulsion.

    The menu creatively re-interprets regional specialities, such as lean capon. Signature dishes from Da Vittorio's restaurants, such as the humble tomato pasta dish 'paccheri alla vittorio', will feature.

    For those dining in the company of friends and family, our CondiviDAV sharing dishes are sure to delight. These flavourful morsels are designed to bring a group together to experience the flavours of Liguria.

    In line with our pursuit of high quality and local produce, we focus on Slow Food ingredients.
