DÒMINI RESTAURANT OFFICIALLY OPENS IN ACIREALE
The Contemporary taste of a family home
In the vibrant heart of Piazza San Domenico in Acireale, Dòmini Restaurant has opened its doors, where the exquisite art of hospitality by Daniele Finocchiaro meets the culinary creativity of Chef Riccardo Russo. A unique gastronomic experience, capable of surprising and at the same time evoking the familiarity of homemade flavors, awaits guests.
A fascinating Family History
Immersed among the Baroque magnificence of Palazzo Musmeci and the Church of San Domenico, and a few steps away from Acireale’s Cathedral, Dòmini Restaurant reveals itself as a timeless place, where childhood memories blend with bold gastronomic aspirations. A project born from the passion of Daniele Finocchiaro, a restaurateur with over fifteen years of experience, eager to offer a sincere and warm welcome in an atmosphere that is both familiar and contemporary.
The enveloping and refined tones of the indoor area blend harmoniously with the ancient vaulted ceilings of the family home, carefully preserved even in the live kitchen. A large arched window reveals the beating heart of the “Domus”, where meticulous attention to detail translates into an attentive and passionate service guided by Daniele’s food and wine expertise, ready to share the secrets of taste with his guests.
Authentic Flavors with a contemporary vision
In this evocative setting, where past and present dialogue in perfect harmony, Chef Riccardo Russo orchestrates a unique culinary experience, celebrating the treasures of the sea and land of Sicily with a touch of modernity. Each of his creations in the à la carte proposal and in the two tasting menus – 5 and 8 courses – tells of experiences that celebrate not only family conviviality, but also culinary traditions – near and far. In fact, there are references to Asian cuisine and flavors discovered during overseas travels, giving life to innovative dishes.
Emblematic of this philosophy is the “Piazza San Domenico n°5” tasting menu, where the Stone bass marinated with the original Mexican “achiote” is accompanied by avocado cream, jalapeño and coriander oil, and introduces a delicious Lobster with chickpea hummus, paprika, baby vegetables, and a delicate crustacean sauce.
Chef Russo then invites guests to discover the Mixed Pasta, a tribute to the typical Sicilian “arriminata” soup made with scorpionfish, seafood, and parsley, followed by the Monkfish served with almond and black garlic creams, the traditional meunière sauce and vegetables with a bitter note, as a reminder of the simplicity and genuineness of our grandparents’ traditional cuisine. Sealing this sensory experience is a fresh and delicious dessert of Wild strawberries, lemon and goat ice cream.
An ode to conviviality through an exceptional wine cellar
With over 50 carefully selected labels, including Sicilian, Italian, and International excellences, Daniele Finocchiaro wishes to offer his guests the opportunity to always feel at home, starting from the choice of wine. Perfect pairing with Chef Russo’s creations and rare gems discovered over the years make up the Dòmini’s wine cellar, enriched by a special water menu, resulting from his deep passion for hospitality.
Daniele Finocchiaro, Chef Riccardo Russo, and the entire team at Dòmini Restaurant await you from June 6th, from Thursday to Tuesday at lunch and dinner, in Piazza San Domenico 5 – Acireale, to guide you trough an unforgettable culinary journey.
