About Da Costa

Da Costa has been named for and inspired by Artfarm co-founder Iwan Wirth’s maternal grandfather, who originated from the small mountainous village of Rivamonte Agordino in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. He emigrated to Switzerland in the early 20th century and opened a restaurant much loved for its simple, honest fare.
A century later, and some 800 miles from that first restaurant, Da Costa continues this glorious culinary adventure.
The menu is an exploration of traditional northern Italian recipes featuring an array of antipasti, homemade pastas and risottos and daily specials cooked over fire.

Using freshly grown seasonal ingredients from the walled garden and surrounding area, our dishes blend the best of both words – quintessential Englishness with Italian culinary flair.
