Who We Are

After the successful launch of Città Del Gusto in Rome, Gambero Rosso extended its vision to the South of Italy and launched another Città in Naples in 2008.  The project was developed together with the Città della Scienza to promote and pay homage to Italy’s culinary and oenological heritage.  At Città Del Gusto food and wine become an experience.  Situated in the heart of the formerly industrial region of Coroglio, design is prominent and the Città features contemporary furniture and modern show kitchens.  Time is taken here to savor the best productions of the “Belpaese” expertly developed by the chefs of Gambero Rosso.

Gambero Rosso’s focus has always been to cultivate knowledge and appreciation of gourmet cuisine and fine wine.  Città Del Gusto provides the right environment to bring together food and wine enthusiasts and is ideal for hosting large events such as wine tastings, culinary gatherings, and press conferences.

Città Del Gusto is a Tavern at lunch and a Wine Bar in the evening, a Pizzeria, Cafè, and also home to cooking schools and wine tastings.

Wine Terrace & Wine Bar

An expansive space spanning a thousand square meters on two levels, the rooms contains refined, minimalist furniture and features large windows and a terrace which offers a breathtaking view of the sea.  In the evening it functions as a cooking workshop of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, directed by chef Anthonio Russo who values simple cuisine made of high quality ingredients which are seasonally available.  It has an extensive wine list that is constantly updated to bring about different tasting experiences and has the choice between a menu à la carte and a wine tasting menu.

The Wine Bar is open Wednesday through Saturday evenings and on Saturday and Sunday for lunch.  During the summer, from 19.00 to 20.30, the Wine bar becomes an exclusive space for Happy Hour.  Delicious cocktails and glasses of wine are accompanied by gourmet appetizers at a special price.
