CAFEE FLORIAN

PIAZZA San MARCO

VENICE


Cafe’ Florian is among the best-known cafés in the world. This is one of the last few places where visitors can actually feel the atmosphere of the cafés of the last century. Cafe’ Florian was a spot where many cult movie scenes were shot, such as “Summertime” and “The Talented Mr. Ripley”.

Cafe’ Florian was open for the first time in 1720 under the name Alla Venezia Trionfante. However, this name did not last long and Caffe’ was renamed Florian after his owners name Floriano Francesconi.

This Cafe’ used to be a cultural hub for a number of artists, intellectuals, architects and historians during its long history. Even the famous and infamous Giacomo Casanova is believed to have frequented these quarters for his own insatiable carnal pleasures right at this cafe’.
If our visitors would like to experience a true Venetian spirit, they should visit Florian Caffe’.

Pizzeria Gorizia

Naples




THE GORIZIA PIZZERIA dal 1916


A welcoming atmosphere, a team of true Neapolitans and all the warmth that distinguishes our city: Pizzeria Gorizia 1916, a reference point in the Neapolitan gastronomic scene, has been making pizzas for over a century.

Today as a hundred years ago: both our pizzas and our dishes come from ancient traditional recipes, handed down from generation to generation, and prefer carefully selected local products of excellence.

Don't miss the 1916 pizza: ricotta, mozzarella, courgette flowers, artichokes, salami and provolone del monaco, a tribute to the iconic ingredients of our restaurant.

OUR HISTORY

It is May 10, 1916 when, in a Vomero which is still an expanse of land planted with broccoli, a very young Salvatore Grasso opens for the first time the doors of a business that, over the years, will become an institution in the pizza scene. Neapolitan.

As soon as he returned from the front, Salvatore, who before leaving was already an acclaimed pizza maker at the Mattozzi pizzeria, decided to set up his own business with his wife Anna in a neighborhood that would soon experience a huge expansion, the Vomero. He then took over an old restaurant, called it "Gorizia" in honor of his fellow soldiers who in those days entered the city of Gorizia, and for 9 years it remained the only restaurant business in the area. Salvatore's cuisine and his pizza delight from the humblest palates to the noblest: princes and dukes, in love with the climate and tranquility of the hill, begin to build their own residences in Vomero and become a permanent presence at Pizzeria Gorizia. Similarly, the workers who flock to the neighborhood and have a short lunch break,

The years pass and the gastronomic offer of Neapolitan delights that goes alongside pizza, thanks also to the intervention of the Duke Pironti, owner of the property who provides Salvatore with a series of tips and also an expert cook, becomes increasingly sought after.

Di Salvatore in Salvatore, the Gorizia pizzeria has reached its 105th birthday today, and has seen illustrious characters succeed each other at its tables, from Totò to De Filippo, up to Luciano De Crescenzo who, as a very young man, had obtained his own right here first job as a waiter.

Today the Pizzeria Gorizia 1916 is proud to offer a pizza prepared according to the most ancient tradition and seasoned with products of unparalleled quality that Salvatore sr (current president of UPSN "Le Centenarie") and Salvatore jr enjoy discovering among the small artisan excellences that the Italian territory has to offer. A lot of passion, constant updating and a continuous search for the best ingredients, have also made the traditional gastronomic offer that goes alongside the ever richer and tastier pizza, to the point of giving the Pizzeria Gorizia 1916 the honor of becoming Krug Ambassade.

A warm welcome, an excellent pizza and a nice glass of champagne: crossing the threshold of the Pizzeria Gorizia 1916 means treating yourself to an unforgettable experience.
