WESTPORT–When it first opened in late 2022, Casa Me quickly became the darling of the restaurant scene with its stunning décor, lively atmosphere and delicious fare. (I wrote about it here.) There’s a welcoming energy that embraces you as soon as you walk through the front door. Whether you’re seated at the stunning bar or at a table, the ambiance immediately gives coastal Italian vacation vibes. Ever since my first visit nearly three years ago, Casa Me remains one of my favorites. 

A recent change in the kitchen can often mean a certain uncertainty, however we’re thrilled to share the news that Chef Diego Negri has taken over, bringing with him his expertise that helped him garner Michelin star ratings for not one but four restaurants including New York City’s Marea, and Eleven Eleven which received three Michelin Stars. Also in the City, he was the Executive Chef for Vinateria, which received a Michelin Plate. His other New York restaurants include St. Theo’s and Lupa. 

Prior to moving to the states, Negri enjoyed 10 successful years working and training in Italy, The United Kingdom, France, the Caribbean, and Ibiza learning about the various cultures and flavors. Additionally he’s been featured in the New York Times, Food & Wine Magazine, Appetito Magazine, Pursuitist, Broken Palate, Gotham Magazine, and Wine Spectator.
