The menu is a cumulation of tradition, experience, respect, creativity, and passion – comprising the main ingredients of their dishes. For the five week pop up, the full a la carte menu will be offered. Courses will start with the Antipasti offerings highlighted by items such as Bluefin Tuna Tartare and Calamari e Zucchini Fritto, followed by an Insalate course, highlighted by items such as Wild Arugula Salad and Insalata Di Conca.

Primi course includes signature dish highlights such as Spaghetti Alla Nerano (a regional specialty traditional of its namesake fishing village), Linguine Alla Vongole, Gnocchi Alla Sorrentino and Black Truffle Tagliateli, with Secondi mains inclusive of signatures Branzino al Sale, (whole branzino baked in salt, carved in the kitchen and delivered tableside), Polpette di Melanzane (eggplant meatballs with tomato, basil, parmesan), and Cotoletta alla Milanese, among many other favorites.

The fish is the star of Conca Del Sogno’s cuisine, strictly fresh, spoils of a night under the stars that fishermen poured into the tank inside the restaurant, the pride of the owners, who make the quality of raw materials a point of honor. From this sea and earth come precious and delicious gifts, that are transformed into the dishes that for decades has offered to their guests, always with the same authenticity and warmth, and with the wisdom of a tradition passed on from parents to children, the most precious legacy to preserve and share.
