Our story

In the world of taste for three generations

In the 1960s the first of the family to enter the restaurant business were Gilda Di Martino and Gaetano Torrente. They first founded a recreational club and, later, a pizzeria.

Even the second generation of the family, who grew up with a passion for cooking, maintained the tradition and opened a trattoria.

They were also responsible for the birth of the first most important frying shop in Italy, and from this came the most noteworthy innovation: that of making known the so-called "Cuoppo", a straw paper parcel which contained the frying and which could be enjoyed in "walking" mode.

The idea was destined to be successful, so much so that nowadays it is one of the most well-known street foods in Italy and beyond its borders.
