Two generations per mezzo di comparison united by the Mission itself: bring to Milan the authenticity and warmth of the Neapolitan table.
The kitchen that knows from the house
Don Vincè’s lista is a journey into the memories and perfumes of Neapolitan cuisine: from indole and potatoes with provola to legendary chariot wheel rompiscatole, thin and generous per mezzo di the edges, each dish is designed to tell family stories, festive Sundays and tablecloth with love. The concept was born from a precise figure: Vincenzo Cotugno, born per mezzo di 1947, for all “Don Vincè”, maternal grandfather of Capuano, a culinary and emotional point of reference for the family.

Tradition and quality
Don Vincè is a family tractor where the quality of the ingredients is central. Per mezzo di fact, only excellence raw materials are used per mezzo di the kitchen:

The tasting
We have tried several courses à la carte. Here are our impressions.
Antipasti
Crocchè of the potato of the grandmother
Fried tris: mozzarella per mezzo di carriage, padded package, fried artichoke
It begins with the conforto food par excellence: the chores of the grandmother’s potatoes. Golden, soft and fragrant, they evoke domestic kitchens where every gesture was made with love. A trio is followed by applause: the mozzarella per mezzo di carriage, stringy and crunchy; the padded package, generously stuffed and wrapped per mezzo di a light batter; And the fried artichoke, fragrant and tasty, which celebrates one of the symbolic vegetables of Mediterranean cuisine.
First courses
Amalgama and potatoes with provola
The first courses do not disappoint expectations. The protagonist is the indole and potatoes with provola, a poor dish only apparently, but rich per mezzo di flavor. The creaminess of the potato merges with mixed indole, while the smoked provola adds a decisive touch, creating a harmony that conquers.
Car’s wheel pizzas
Margherita
Authentic must of the room, absolutely not to be missed: the rompiscatole with a wheelbarrow, lying thin and wide just beyond the edge of the dish as the most true Neapolitan tradition wants. Margherita, with tomato, fior of milk and fresh basil, represents a hymn to simplicity and authentic taste. By choice, the intelaiatura of the rompiscatole is not too wide, to maximum the taste of the raw material.
Dolce
Babà with whipped cream
To close the meal, the dolce symbol of the Neapolitan pastry: the Babà, with the addition of cream whipped for the most greedy. Soft, soaked per mezzo di rum and embellished with a cloud of fresh cream, it is the perfect ending for a gastronomic experience that tastes of home, south, and happiness.
Per mezzo di combination, Greek ‘jerk’ the guardiense 2024, white wine with satisfying savings taccuino, whose smelly plot recalls fragrant hints of citrus, fishing and campo da golf apple with a thin herbaceous vein.
Don Vincè is a place where the past and the present meet, where each dish tells a story and the cuisine becomes a gesture of love. With this new place, Milan is enriched with an authentic, true and welcoming of Naples.
