Conca Del Sogno is a Beach Club Restaurant situated in the Amalfi Coast in the village of Nerano, renowned for its crystal clear sea water and the great landscape views. The sound of the waves, the sea breeze, the scent of the sea, the fresh catch of the day... Maritime traditions and local products at your table – this is what Conca Del Sogno is known for amongst travelers and locals alike. The menu is a cumulation of tradition, experience, respect, creativity, and passion – comprising the main ingredients of their dishes.
The seductive bay of the Amalfi coast, with its emerald sea, white pebbles, and green-tinted rock, a precious gift of Mediterranean nature, among spectacular paths, natural caves, and fiery sunsets. The nearby scents of the sea enhance the flavors of Conca Del Sogno, making them even more intense. Recommone Bay is an oasis of well-being that gifts its visitors a deep feeling of harmony and peace. The locals have always lived in this magical atmosphere and respectfully look after the beauty of a generous and benevolent nature, which is reflected in the cuisine and ambiance of Conca Del Sogno.
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. This legacy now will be offered in Los Angeles, with their winter residency pop up at the West Hollywood darling Norah, a restaurant that embodies an aligned feel and aesthetic, proper passion for cuisine, wine, and service.
Restaurateur and founder of IB Hospitality, Rohan Talwar, is the seasoned creator behind Norah, a chic and elegant West Hollywood staple for farm to table California cuisine, as well as sister restaurants Margot and Juliet. For the residency, Conca Del Sogno’s menu will be featured in full, staying true to the delicious mouth-watering dishes of Amalfi, featuring the authentic ingredients and produce of Conca Del Sogno’s home location.
The Menu will start with the Antipasti course 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.
"We are so excited to partner with Conca Del Sogno, one of my favorite destinations on the Amalfi Coast, and bring their incredible cuisine and aesthetic to Los Angeles. We are honored to be their partner for this limited edition residency, and offer the experience of their authentic, and extremely special, Mediterranean restaurant and beach club.” - Rohan Talwar of IB Hospitality.
General Manager Charles Philips and Bar Director Rexx Cano, who spearheads the bar programs for all of the IB Hospitality venues, will helm the bar with a cocktail program inspired by the art of Amalfi. Using only fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, several draft spritzes, Malfy Italian gin, tonics, and bright aperitivos plus their popular Sgroppino cocktail, also featuring Malfy, will be offered with a carefully chosen wine selection to compliment the coastal Mediterranean cuisine.
As for the space, expect a Mediterranean haven reflective of Conca Del Sogno’s feel and inspired by the in-demand Italian coast summer destination. Wooden tones, light color, greenery will set the stage for a more laidback Mediterranean atmosphere.
As with all of Talwar’s concepts, the emphasis will lie on hospitality and every meticulous detail tying back to placing the guest first.
