ristorazione — Città di Castello · Umbria
In the Alta Valle del Tevere (upper Tiber valley), in Città di Castello, via Rigucci opens onto a glimpse of Naples: a family-run friggitoria (fried food shop) and rosticceria (roast and fried food shop) that brings the authentic recipes of Neapolitan street food to the heart of Umbria, from crocchè to frittatine di pasta, from pizza fritta to casatiello.
Cross the threshold on via Rigucci and it's immediately clear you've stepped into somewhere different: the sign announces Neapolitan street food, and the Chierchia family upholds it with the same care as someone carrying a distant tradition with them. Nothing here is improvised: every preparation follows the original recipes of Neapolitan cuisine, passed down faithfully and made fresh every day with fresh ingredients.
Behind the counter, the display case tells the story of the day: golden crocchè, frittatine di pasta, filled Neapolitan panini and, alongside, the sweets — babà and crisp sfogliatelle. Everything made that same day, as fresh as can be, as regular customers confirm. The counter is the heart of the place: you step up, you choose, you take away a piece of Naples.
The same care that governs the counter travels beyond the shop when the Chierchia family brings its street food to events: confirmation receptions, family celebrations, occasions where the Neapolitan friggitoria becomes catering. The stoves never stop: pizza fritta, casatiello and fried specialities leave the kitchen hot, ready to reach every table.
