Dolce & Gabbana has launched its first-ever café in Shanghai, marking a significant step in the brand’s Chinese expansion. Following the opening of Casa Dolce & Gabbana in June, the 200-square-meter café is located on the second floor of the Citic Square flagship store. The café aims to promote cultural exchange through Italian cuisine, offering both formal and casual dining experiences. Its menu features Southern Italian dishes, including hors d’oeuvres, mains, and desserts like Sicilian lemon-shaped cakes and tiramisu in coffee pots adorned with the brand’s Sicilian chariot motif.
