THE LEGENDARY CHEF CHICCO CEREA OF THREE MICHELIN-STARRED RESTAURANT DA VITTORIO TAKES OVER CECCONI’S AT THE NED DOHA

Located in the former Ministry of Interior building, The Ned Doha offers a world of innovative gastronomic experiences and indulgences.

On 30 November and 1 December, the hotel’s award-winning Italian restaurant Cecconi’s will host an exclusive culinary experience specially curated by Chef Chicco Cerea from the renowned three Michelin-starred Da Vittorio restaurant. Supported by Qatar Tourism, Cecconi’s Doha will present an exclusive six-course set menu from Da Vittorio where each plate, from the antipasti to the dessert, will focus on seasonal ingredients sourced wherever they grow best, combining modern flair with 50 years of unmistakable Italian culinary style.

Amongst the carefully curated menu of Italian creations brought to life by Chef Chicco Cerea are standouts like the Cappuccino di Patate e Funghi con Tartufo Nero, a delicate foam of potatoes and porcini mushrooms elevated by the earthiness of black truffle. Guests can also savour the Fonduta di Crespella, an indulgent crepe fondue, and the iconic Paccheri alla Vittorio, a signature creamy tomato pasta dish. Each plate draws inspiration from traditional recipes infused with modern techniques, focusing on simplicity to allow the pure flavours of each quality ingredient to shine through.

Founded by the Cerea family in 1966, Da Vittorio has become a world-renowned culinary destination, known for its innovative approach to traditional Italian cuisine and mastery of seafood dishes. The restaurant earned its prestigious three Michelin stars through decades of excellence, led by executive chefs and brothers Enrico Cerea, known as Chicco, and Roberto Cerea, known as Bobo.

Amongst The Ned Doha’s nine distinctive dining venues, Cecconi’s Doha has emerged as a favoured destination for refined dining featuring hand-made pasta, wood-fired pizza, fresh seafood, and dishes from Northern regions of Italy. The restaurant’s chic interiors, featuring a central bar and a sprawling terrace, create an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere while its commitment to authenticity, fresh ingredients, and northern Italian delicacies make it the perfect backdrop for hosting culinary maestros like Chef Chicco.
