Charming

Cafe Di Stasio is an intimate dining room that treads a delicate line between well-mannered elegance and indulgent decadence. A place for coming together, a gallery, a cultural centre, an atmosphere, an institution – a marker. More than a meal, Di Stasio is an event – no matter how momentous or intimate, how large or small – to be savoured, enjoyed and reminisced over.
