The history of
Gran Caffè Gambrinus

Lying in the very central Piazza del Plebiscito, very close to Palazzo Reale, S. Francesco da Paola's Church and S. Carlo Theatre, Gran Caffè Gambrinus has been regarded as the society-hall of Naples for 150 years and more.
"Gambrinus" is a legendary tipsy gure of joviality, Johannes Primus, an European culture hero, icon of beer and brewing.
In 1890 it was wonderfully restored by Antonio Curri, one of the greatest architects of that time and adorned with paintings, statues, stuccos and lunettes by the most renowned artists of the age.

Since the Italian Uni cation, chiefs of state, politicians, intellectuals, tourists and common people have been visited Gambrinus. We cannot fail to recall Gabriele D'Annunzio, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, Sigmund Freud, Matilde Serao, Benedetto Croce, the Savoy Family, Luciano Pavarotti and Angela Merkel as its famous customers. On New Year's Day the President of the Italian Republic has always breakfast at Gambrinus.
Today Gambrinus' high quality products and service are renowned all around the world: you cannot fail to taste our sfogliatella, babà and hazelnut coffee, the expression of the modern changing taste.

Coffee

Neapolitan coffee is the only one to have noble origins. In fact, it was a queen, Maria Carolina of Austria, wife of the king Ferdinand of Bourbon, who strongly wanted it at the court of Naples.
