CasaDamí is an intimate café and wine bar located in Newport Beach’s Peninsula Village. Inspired by La Dolce Vita, the concept blends European sophistication with coastal Californian charm. Featuring a small plates-focused menu, curated wines, and exceptional coffee offerings, CasaDamí is set to become a premier destination for both locals and visitors.
Located within Newport Beach’s vibrant coastal destination, Peninsula Village, CasaDamí is reminiscent of an all-day European café, where coastal charm meets luxurious design. Guests will be welcomed by interiors featuring a custom 15-seat bar crafted from Italian marble, Italian white oak flooring in an elegant herringbone pattern, and plush banquette seating enveloped by a custom wood panel arch. The expansive patio, seating 40, is draped with florals evocative of the Italian countryside, creating an idyllic space for alfresco dining.
CasaDamí offers counter service during lunch hours, providing a relaxed yet efficient experience with offerings such as freshly baked pastries, vibrant salads, shareable charcuterie and tapas, and exceptional coffee offerings. Coffee selections include classics such as cappuccinos and cortados, alongside specialty espresso options like the Marocchino, blended with Nutella, and an Affogato. These offerings seamlessly tie into CasaDamí’s all-day European café concept, inviting guests to savor a perfect coffee experience from morning through evening. Crafted with premium beans sourced from Brazil and Central America, every cup will be brewed using a state-of-the-art Rocket Espresso machine, handmade in Milan, reflecting CasaDamí’s commitment to quality and precision.
In the evening, the lights dim as CasaDamí transforms into full service, where guests can enjoy a thoughtfully curated menu of small plates and exceptional wines. Designed to be shared, the tapas-inspired menu offers Charcuterie Boards in a variety of sizes, crispy Papas Bravas topped with vibrant salsa brava and tangy aioli. Additional highlights include the Bikini Toast with jamon serrano and smoky San Simón cheese, tender Chicken Milanese Bites served with a zesty dipping sauce, and an indulgent Grueyere Fondue.
