Cascade Wellness Resort in Lagos opens new Italian restaurant – Portugal Resident
The recently rebranded Cascade Wellness Resort by Domes has expanded its dining offering with the opening of Antonino’s, a new Italian restaurant celebrating traditional recipes, artisan ingredients and Mediterranean hospitality.
Located within the five-star resort in Lagos, Antonino’s is the latest addition to the property’s growing portfolio of restaurants following Cascade’s integration into the Domes Resorts collection, marking the Greek luxury hospitality group’s second property in Portugal.
The restaurant aims to combine authentic Italian cuisine with fresh Algarve produce in a relaxed yet elegant setting, welcoming both hotel guests and outside visitors.
The menu features a selection of classic Italian starters, including tuna carpaccio and fried calamari with confit lemon, alongside pasta dishes such as linguine with Carabineiro prawns and pumpkin ravioli cacio e pepe.
The centrepiece, however, is its range of artisan pizzas, prepared using dough fermented for 72 hours before being baked with premium ingredients. Choices include the classic Margherita, the Zucca & Gamberi with pumpkin and prawns, and the spicy Diavola with mozzarella, spianata salami and nduja.
Desserts include an Antonino’s signature tiramisu, Crema Bruciata al Limoncello and Gianduja hazelnut mousse.
Executive chef Diogo Pereira said the restaurant was created to capture the spirit of Italian and Mediterranean dining.
“Antonino’s was born from the desire to create a place for sharing, inspired by the essence of Italian and Mediterranean culture, where food brings people together around the table,” he said. “Every detail has been designed to create genuine moments for families and friends.”
He added that the restaurant’s Algarve location allows it to combine “fresh, authentic local ingredients with the finest Italian culinary traditions”.
The opening forms part of Cascade Wellness Resort by Domes’ strategy to strengthen its position as a luxury wellness and lifestyle destination through an expanded range of high-end gastronomic experiences.
Antonino’s is open daily from 10.30am to 7.30pm and welcomes both resort guests and non-residents.
