The heart of Naples directly in Florence: pizza and Sophia Loren. Behind the pizzas of the Sophia Loren Restaurant is Francesco Martucci, awarded best pizza chef in Italy 2020.

THE PIZZA / BY FRANCESCO MARTUCCI

The most authoritative guide in the sector awarded its "Futuro di marinara" as pizza of the year. Three Gambero Rosso wedges, awarded as the best mixture. Maestro Arte e Mestieri 2020. A wide, enviable palmares, which places him as a reference point for the whole movement. For fans, the one who rewrote the history of pizza: his "Mani dielluto" - the most imitated pizza of the last 10 years - has revisited sausage and broccoli, making it pop and the forbidden dream of pizzalovers. Great study of raw materials, seasonality, recovery of old recipes: his infinite passion for quality food leads him to wander around starred restaurants around the world on his free days: here he sees, smells, tries, “engulfs”.

Sensations that he makes his own and proposes to each new menu, each time more ambitious. Because eating his pizza is never "just a pizza", but emotions to bite.


FIRST COURSES / BY GANNARINO ESPOSITO
The kitchen by Gennarino Esposito, chef with two Michelin stars, patron of the Torre del Saracino restaurant, in Vico Equens. His style remains - always and in any case - that of retro-innovation, combined with seasonality and the care of raw materials.
