Embracing the passion and true flavours of the Napolitan region, DeVita at Manly is as authentic as a visit to Italy. Using traditional recipes based down through the generations from grandmothers and chefs, the menu is all about keeping it simple and producing winning flavour combinations with the freshest ingredients. Take a seat at the bar that overlooks the open kitchen, allowing diners to watch their pizza's from creation to cooking in the woodfire oven.
Whether you have been to Italy or not, you may already know that we take our cooking seriously!
The passion for food from the Neapolitan region has been, in recent years, influenced from many cultures including French and Spanish. However, the story starts long before these cultures with the Etruscan, Greek and Roman empires...
Through the years, most of the traditional dishes and recipes are often the creation of mothers and grandmothers rather than that of chefs, which makes many of the recipes ideally suited for home cooking.
Simplicity is the key, you don't need many ingredients to make a tasty dish, you need them to be genuine, fresh and treat them gently as our grandmothers have taught us.
Pizza is the best example of something very simple in theory but extremely connected to the tradition of the Napoletano people.
We are proud to offer the experience of Tastes of Napoli to you here in the Northern Beaches.
We are True Neapolitans with a true heart and passion for cooking and we only use the best ingredients that this beautiful country offers. We brought our oven from Napoli because we wanted it to be made by the best oven makes in the Napoli tradition. This is really a little bit of Napoli here in Manly and we hope you will enjoy what we think is special, genuine and above all an experience that you will remember.
Rustic and simple is the way we feel about food and therefore is the way we wanted our restaurant to be. You will feel at home sitting at our tables and enjoying your time with us. And, if you want the chance to see what making a traditional pizza is all about, you can do it sitting at our "pizza-bar"!
It's more or less the same thing as a japanese sushi bar where the sushi master will prepare specials right in front of you. This is what our expert pizzaiolo will do whilst you'll sit there and enjoy a glass of wine. It's also perfect for a quick lunch or dinner with friends!
