Our evening signature
Aspritz. Our way of telling the story of Campania.
An aperitivo created by Ceraldi, where herbs and roots meet the scents of the Amalfi Coast and the bubbles of Asprinio di Aversa. It is not just another spritz: we make it ourselves, starting from the land around Naples.

Stories from the café (in Italian)
Naples, told from the counter
Caffè e colazione
Il caffè sospeso: un gesto napoletano che ha fatto il giro del mondo
Si paga un caffè in più, per chi entrerà dopo e non potrà permetterselo. Un'abitudine piccola, nata nei bar di Napoli.
Pasticceria napoletana
La pastiera napoletana: il profumo della Pasqua
Grano cotto, ricotta, fiori d'arancio. Nessun dolce racconta la primavera a Napoli come la pastiera, e nessuno ha tante leggende.
