A wonderful experience, beautiful location, meticulously maintained and classy. We ate as a group from a truly excellent meat-based menu. I highly recommend it, especially considering the more than fair final bill.
A welcoming restaurant in one of the most romantic spots in Piazza Armerina, impeccable service, and sublime food.<br>Thank you, Veruscka and Alessia.
Fantastic staff! Chef worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant. An experience I'll definitely repeat. I recommend everyone to try this place.
I recently dined at Ristorante Da Vè and can confirm that it is a true culinary excellence. The restaurant deserves top marks in every way.<br>The location is simply enchanting!! The restaurant is located just steps from the evocative Aragonese Castle, offering a historic, intimate, and charming atmosphere, perfect for a special evening.<br>The food is a triumph of flavors; every item on the gourmet menu is a work of art, where tradition meets culinary innovation using the highest-quality ingredients, masterfully plated.<br>The crowning glory of this impeccable experience is the wait staff: incredibly knowledgeable, attentive to every detail, and endowed with a genuine kindness that makes guests feel pampered from the first to the last moment.<br>Highly recommended for those seeking culinary excellence in the heart of Piazza Armerina! I will definitely be back.
Sapere che ha apprezzato la nostra proposta culinaria, l'atmosfera unica vicino al Castello Aragonese e la dedizione del nostro personale di sala ci riempie di orgoglio. Il nostro obiettivo è proprio quello di far sentire ogni ospite coccolato e regalarvi un'esperienza memorabile nel cuore di Piazza Armerina.<br>Sarà un vero piacere accoglierti di nuovo presto per un'altra serata speciale!<br>Un caro saluto,<br>Alessia<br>Ristorante Da Vè
Everything was absolutely fantastic! Very friendly and pleasant service. The spaghetti alle vongole was the best I've ever had. The beef fillet with porcini mushrooms was divine.<br><br>Lovely background music.<br><br>It couldn't be better!
grazie mille per questa splendida recensione! Ci fa immensamente piacere sapere che gli spaghetti alle vongole e il filetto di manzo con i porcini ti abbiano così entusiasmato. Sapere che hai trascorso da noi una serata perfetta con ottima musica e un servizio impeccabile significa davvero molto per noi. Spero di poterti riaccogliere presto al Ristorante Da Vè!<br> Un caloroso saluto<br> Alessia
We had a delicious meal yesterday, Saturday. Today, Sunday, it says CLOSED on the internet. It is very unfortunate that this does not correspond exactly with reality. So, a minor drawback.
Highly recommend this excellent restaurant in the historic part of the city. Delicious food, original decor and wonderful friendly service. Verushka the master in the kitchen is well traveled and has explored many culinary traditions. She is inventive in her cooking while keeping strong focus on her Sicilian roots. Loved the caponata with Modica chocolate, the spaghetti with sea urchins and the superb fresh gnocchi with porcini.
Dear Olivier,<br>Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience with us!<br>Knowing that you enjoyed the atmosphere, our service, and especially the passion and creativity Chef Veruscka puts into her dishes fills us with joy. Blending her travels with a deep respect for Sicilian roots is exactly what brings dishes like our Modica chocolate caponata to life! We are thrilled that you also loved the sea urchin spaghetti and the fresh porcini gnocchi.<br>We hope to welcome you back again very soon for another culinary journey!<br>Warm regards,<br>Alessia, Chef Veruscka & the whole team
Imagine lying on the white beach of a Pacific atoll, lulled by the gentle breeze and the soothing sound of the waves. Have you?<br>Well, the same pleasure can be achieved, with much less expense and effort, by enjoying the sensational off-menu dish offered by Chef Verushka Guastella, owner of the Da Vè restaurant in the city's medieval historic center, right across from the splendid Aragonese Castle (see photo).<br>We're talking about one of the most technically challenging dishes in Sicilian culinary tradition, pasta with sea urchins, in which (much like cacio e pepe) the essential creaminess is the result of a delicate and subtle balance achieved by using the pasta's natural starch.<br>Verushka has done it masterfully, also adopting a completely commendable reinterpretation of the dish (lightly tinged with tomato) to allow the sea urchins to explode on the palate. The sea in your mouth.<br>The attached photo demonstrates that quality is combined with typical Sicilian generosity in the size of the portions.<br>Anyone who eats at Da Vè certainly won't leave disappointed, much less hungry.<br>The generous selection of hot fish appetizers is also excellent.<br>Finally, another highlight from the chef is the dessert: the challenging Neapolitan pastiera, fragrant and creamy at the same time.<br>The service, led by Alessia, is friendly and attentive.<br>The price is even reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the offerings.<br>And at the end of dinner, I recommend a short, healthy stroll to the splendid Arab-Norman cathedral, about a hundred meters away.
Grazie mille per le tue bellissime parole!<br>Leggere una recensione così poetica ed entusiasta ci riempie il cuore. Siamo felici che la proposta fuori menu della Chef Veruscka, l'abbondanza dei nostri antipasti di pesce e l'attenzione di Alessia abbiano reso la tua cena speciale.<br>La cucina è passione e condivisione, e sapere di esser riusciti a trasmettere tutto questo ci spinge a fare sempre del nostro meglio.<br>Ti aspettiamo presto da Da Vè per un altro viaggio nei sapori!
beautiful place and divine food… the service was also wonderful… to be repeated and above all to be recommended
Ti ringraziamo infinitamente per le splendide parole e per le 5 stelle! Sapere di aver reso la tua esperienza da noi così speciale è la nostra soddisfazione più grande. Ti aspettiamo presto!
Excellent in every way.<br>The highest quality ingredients, dishes crafted with attention to detail but without excess, and memorable balanced flavors.<br>The service is impeccable: friendly, fast, professional, and never intrusive. You can tell they love what they do.<br>The elegant and welcoming location is the perfect atmosphere for both a formal dinner and a relaxing evening.<br>The quality/price ratio is more than fair for what they offer.
Grazie mille
Pleasant experience.<br>Excellent food and impeccable service.<br>I will definitely be back.
Grazie mille, sarà un piacere avervi nuovamente qui.
DaVè Restaurant is located in the splendid medieval historic center of Piazza Armerina, near the Aragonese Castle.<br>We were greeted by Alessia's warmth, who immediately put us at ease, and she provided helpful advice on our choice of dishes.<br>The mixed fish appetizer was excellent, as was the meat-based main course (fillet with mushrooms).<br>The highlight of the evening, however, was the transformation of the pasta dish on the menu (linguine with squid ink) into a stunning risotto, the fruit of the renowned talent of Chef Veruska Guastella, who always manages to surprise.<br>A phenomenal dish; I've never tasted such delicious squid ink.<br>The wine list is excellent and comprehensive.<br>Veruska never disappoints.<br>The price is very fair considering the quality of the ingredients and the generous portions.<br>Highly recommended!
Gentilissima, <br>Ti ringrazio di cuore per queste bellissime parole! È stato un vero piacere accogliervi e mettervi a vostro agio. Sapere che i miei consigli e la creatività della Chef Veruscka – in particolare quel risotto al nero di seppia fatto su misura per voi – vi abbiano regalato una serata così speciale ci riempie di gioia. La passione per le buone materie prime e per l'ospitalità è ciò che ci guida ogni giorno.<br>Spero di riaccogliervi presto al Ristorante DaVé!<br>A Piazza Armenina <br>Un caro saluto,<br>Alessia
EXCEPTIONAL. Nothing more to add.<br>It's not just a seafood restaurant, it's an experience.<br>The freshest ingredients, the kind that smell of the real sea. Each dish is a perfect balance of tradition and creativity, everything delicious from start to finish. Generous portions, meticulously presented, flavors that linger in your memory.<br>And then the staff: TOP. Polite, knowledgeable, always present but never intrusive. You can tell when there's passion and professionalism.<br>One of those rare places where you leave and say: it's worth every single euro. In fact, more than that.
Wow Valentina, che recensione meravigliosa! Grazie di cuore!<br>Sapere che hai percepito tutta la passione che mettiamo nei nostri piatti e nell'accoglienza ci rende davvero felicissime. Farvi uscire col sorriso e con il ricordo di una splendida serata è da sempre il nostro obiettivo principale.<br>Non vedo l'ora di riaccoglierti ai nostri tavoli!<br>A prestissimo,<br>Alessia
We're in town, miles from the sea, yet I've eaten the best fish in years.<br>There are restaurants along the seafront that dream of this freshness and this skill in the kitchen.
Chef & To the amazing staff who made this night an unforgettable experience we will always remember.: Thank you for sharing your love for food with us. It made our experience in Sicily that much more special. Truly a heaven on earth experience. Everything from the pastas, to the salad, the most tender meat smothered in a savory pistachio gravy, to the lemon mint sorbet using chefs mint from their own home garden!!!! You HAVE to visit this gem. It was hard not to order the entire menu. They are using thoughtfully sourced ingredients and you can taste their love! The atmosphere, the owners and the team were so friendly and welcoming. Being an organic farmer, this experience was the best by far. Grazie ♥️ We will always remember this amazing dinner.
Excellent food, attentive staff, fair price. We had a lovely evening.
Grazie mille. È stato un vero piacere anche per noi.
A truly wonderful experience! The food was excellent, the atmosphere cozy, and the service simply fantastic. We immediately felt at home – warm, welcoming, and authentic.<br><br>The octopus and mussels were the best we ate on our entire trip to Sicily! Everything was beautifully presented and a true taste sensation. The location made it even more romantic.<br><br>A very special thank you to Ve: We felt incredibly well cared for and valued. Even with my wheelchair, I was treated naturally and as an equal. At the same time, someone was always there to help if needed. It was precisely this warmth and genuine hospitality that made the evening so special for us.<br><br>Thank you so much for the wonderful food, the hospitality, and this lovely evening. We will cherish the memories and will definitely return whenever we are in the area! ❤️🇨🇭
Grazie per le splendide parole ❤️ È stato un piacere accogliervi e farvi sentire a vostro agio... Speriamo di vedervi presto... ❤️
You don't need to eat a good seafood dish by the sea, because here I found the best spaghetti with sea urchins ever
Grazie mille, a presto.
What can I say...everything was exceptional, from the welcome to the service and finally the high quality cuisine accompanied by a complete cellar...recommended
