William Sitwell was righteously and Britishly irritated in advance by much of the set-up around Da Costa, the new Italian restaurant at Swiss art dealership Hauser + Wirth’s ArtFarm flagship property – billed as a “farmstead” where the current season is “fall” and the bar is a “fully functioning site-specific artwork”.
All of this, though, was rendered bearable by the “gorgeous gobbles” that emerged from the “large open kitchen with a big wood-fired oven”, along with service that was “really bloody nice”.
Salt-cod balls, scallops with Venetian spices, crayfish spaghetti, “utterly beautiful wood pigeon” and a “textbook tiramisu” ensured that William returned to his home on the edge of Exmoor, on the other side of Somerset, in a much better mood.
