DONATO' S CUCINA DEN HAAG

THERE'S IS NOTHING MORE ROMANTIC THAN ITALIAN FOOD."

ELISHA CUTHBEAT

Dario Danato with his employee

Today I am talking to the owner’s of Danto’s Dario Danoto, a traitor situated in Benoordenhout, The Hague in The Netherlands. Dario is in his thirties, charming, funny and quickly spoken. Dario has been in business for 4 years and his intention when he opens this business was to bring the authenticity of Italian culinary to the area and to create a place where people would come to socialize.

In addition, he succeeded; people come from far to get a taste of the Danoto cuisine. The place always seems to be busy, no seats available. They have the ability to make you feel welcome, such welcome that you become a friend or even you are made to feel like you’re part of the family. His business has become quickly a pillar of the community.

I ask him what does he think is the secret of his successful business so far and with no hesitation is the passion that is put into the business. He is very peculiar about the quality of the food.

On prices, the average payment for a bread roll with coffee is around 7-8 euros, pasta with wine around 12.50. Bottle wine cost from 8- 35 euros.

You can also find everything from olive oil to wine. All items sold are imported from Italy.

I asked whether he may expand anytime soon, but he thinks that there is no need to, because it is better to have a small cozy place than a big place that is empty and cold.

On children, the place is child friendly. You will find young to old to senior. Maybe it is a place to be seen…Lastly I asked what is the secret behind the always smiles, and his answer was probably growing up in the street of Naples where it’s sunny and because the southern people are just happy.

Thank you
