Gianluigi De Maio, owner and host, welcomes his guests with open arms. The aroma of homemade pasta wafts from the equally open kitchen. And when the sun is shining, the Mediterranean terrace in the inner courtyard beckons. La Dolce Vita in Düsseldorf. The menu, which is updated daily, impresses with exquisite dishes made from fresh ingredients. A constant highlight: the homemade gnocchi with prawns and pistachios. The combination of tender gnocchi, juicy prawns and the nutty, earthy flavour of pistachios tastes particularly good after a colourful antipasti platter.
