D'AMORE

What D'AMORE does

D'Amore is an Italian fine dining restaurant located at 51 Quai Jérôme Comparetti on the port of Bonifacio, Corsica, France. Founded in 2023, it is operated by Chef Italo Bassi, who held three Michelin stars as head chef at Enoteca Pinchiorri from 2003 to 2015 and previously ran the Michelin-starred Confusion in Costa Smeralda, alongside Executive Chef Edoardo Menna. The restaurant offers a traditional Italian gastronomy menu inspired by the Italian Riviera, featuring charcuterie, focaccia, fish crudos, handmade pastas such as Spaghetti alla Chitarra and gnocchis Cacio e pepe, polpette, and Italian dolci including Tiramisu and Mille feuilles au panetone. The interior was designed by architectural firm Gardera-Pastre to evoke a refined Italian chic ambiance.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer fine dining model, generating revenue through per-cover food and beverage sales during lunch (12h-14h30) and dinner (18h-21h30) service, seven days a week. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but sits in the premium tier consistent with its Michelin 2026 recognition and Gault Millau 2-toques rating. Reservations are routed through the SevenRooms platform, and brand awareness is driven primarily through Instagram (@damore.bonifacio). The restaurant operates alongside three sister establishments under the same group: Finestra (the Michelin-starred concept), Da Passano (Corsican cuisine), and Damare by Sea Lounge (Mediterranean cuisine), forming a multi-concept restaurant group anchored in the Bonifacio and Porto-Vecchio corridor of southern Corsica.
