ristorazione — Santi Cosma e Damiano · Lazio
In the Pontine plain, at the foot of the Aurunci mountains, Santi Cosma e Damiano is home to a sign that carries the name of the Neapolitan soul: Anema&Core. Angelo and Antonio chose this town in southern Lazio to open a pizzeria that treats Neapolitan tradition not as a label, but as a daily discipline.
On via Luigi Cadorna, in the heart of the Pontine town, the entrance to Anema&Core is already a statement of intent: a place that presents itself as a reference point for those seeking genuineness and care. The name itself — soul and heart — speaks to the measure of their commitment: not a format, but a declared choice, rooted in the authentic hospitality of the Campania tradition.
The dining room welcomes with the simplicity of those who need not show off: a space designed for staying, not merely for eating. Angelo and Antonio have built a place where guests feel recognised, where hospitality is not an added service but the natural tone of every evening, true to the Neapolitan spirit the name carries within it.
It is in the kitchen that Anema&Core reveals its most precise character: respect for raw ingredients and for processing times is the unwritten rule behind every dough. Neapolitan pizza demands patience — in the rising, in the shaping, in the baking — and Angelo and Antonio shorten none of these steps. The result is a crust that tells the story of the work behind it.
Anema&Core is an address worth seeking out. The page tells the story of Angelo and Antonio and the details of the menu.
