ristorazione — Béthune · Hauts-de-France
In the heart of Béthune, where the north of France rarely meets the cuisine of southern Europe, Da Vincenza has built a genuine corner of Italy: a family-run epicerie that imports directly from the peninsula and cooks fresh every day.
Father and son opened here, in the heart of Béthune, an outpost of genuine Italianness: a family-run epicerie (Italian delicatessen and grocery) where every choice — from cured meats to cheeses, from preserves to wines — answers to one criterion alone, that of direct provenance from Italy. The welcome, noted in every review, is the first product one encounters.
On the counter, products imported directly from Italy line up: fresh pesto from Genova with creamy stracciatella and prosciutto crudo, aperitivo boards with charcuterie and cheeses, small pastiere from Napoli and sfogliatelle frolle. A selection that seeks no mediation through large-scale distribution, but carries regional detail all the way to Place Alfred Legillon.
From the kitchen come the arancini — the most mentioned specialty, in the bolognaise version that has won over regulars — and sandwiches made with fresh focaccia and pastrami. The quick dining is no compromise: it is how Da Vincenza turns the counter's products into a meal to enjoy on the spot.
A precise address, a declared provenance, a family that answers in person. The page tells every detail.
