About this business
The “Caupona” was a tavern, a place where the ancient Pompeians usually consumed themselves their prandium (daily lunch).
On April 21, 2016, we gave birth to this fantastic and exciting project recognized with a patent by the Superintendency and defined the first faithfully reproduced Caupona. The customer is welcomed for the first time in a magical setting, where they do it the majesty and beauty of the hand-decorated frescoes. Overwhelmed by a magical atmosphere and almost surreal, soft lights in warm tones, beautiful solid wood tables and authentically faithful chairs, and finally eat in terracotta dishes, enjoying wine in amphorae, obviously drinking from glasses. In short, eat the typical dishes of ancient Rome, and savour its true essence, with faithfully prepared ingredients and expertly elaborated, the result of careful and accurate research and study. Let our customer relive a unique and unrepeatable “experience”, in the guise of Senators and Matrons of the time, dive into the distant past few meters from ancient Pompeii. Our cuisine is mainly based on antiquity and the continuous search for distant flavours, bringing the ingredients to light which are often not used in our traditional cuisine, we have thus achieved special menus. We also have one skilfully elaborated traditional cuisine with shades of the Mediterranean and dishes of the tradition, all enclosed in one frame, the customer will be catapulted into a distant and magical era.
