Born from the Storm, Made with Love
Café Mediterraneo, better known as Cafe Med, is brought to you by proud owners Dominic and Brian. But the story didn't start in Portsmouth. It started in Naples, Florida, where they owned and operated Caffe dell'Amore, a top-rated Italian restaurant that quickly became a staple in the Naples dining community.
When a major hurricane took the restaurant from them, Dominic and Brian faced a crossroads. Rather than rebuild in Florida, they followed their instincts north to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and poured everything they had into Cafe Med.
Their philosophy is simple: consistency in serving great food, with great service, in a warm and inviting setting. Every night, the goal is the same, to create a memorable dining experience for every guest who walks through the door.
The recipes and ingredients are as they were a hundred years ago, perhaps modernized only in style or presentation. The chef and his team are committed to seeking out the very best ingredients, delivering soul-satisfying cuisine made with passion and love.
Italians eat, drink, live, and love with great passion. It is that passion and love for quality food and fine wine that drives Dominic and Brian every day. The sound of conversation and laughter among family and friends, as they break bread and sip wine in the dining room, warms their hearts and is their greatest reward.
So all that is required of you is to sit back, relax, and enjoy your time with the Cafe Med family. Buon Appetito.
