Pompeii never ceases to amaze. Not only for the extraordinary richness of its archaeological heritage but also for its ability to offer visitors constantly new experiences. Since September 2025, those who choose to visit the excavations can enjoy a special break at the new Chora Restaurant, inaugurated inside the historic Casina dell’Aquila, an 18th-century building with a privileged position offering direct views of the excavations and Mount Vesuvius.
A break between history and beauty
Chora Restaurant is located at the end of the evocative path of the Casti Amanti, along the famous Via dell’Abbondanza. After immersing themselves in frescoes, mosaics, and unique testimonies of ancient Pompeii, visitors can enjoy a stop in a refined and panoramic setting that combines historical elegance with a contemporary gastronomic proposal.
The structure, the result of careful restoration, welcomes its guests in both indoor spaces – which will also host exhibitions of contemporary artists – and on the splendid outdoor terrace with an unforgettable view of the excavations.
The meaning of Chora
The name chosen for the restaurant is not random: Chora, from Greek, means "countryside, " emphasizing the deep connection between Pompeii and its territory. This connection is reflected in the dishes on the menu, enriched by local products made by the social agricultural cooperative Il Tulipano, which operates within the archaeological park.
The gastronomic experience
Chora Restaurant offers a versatile menu capable of satisfying different tastes and needs:
Tasting menu: complete courses from appetizers to desserts, with prices ranging from 29 to 42 euros.
Traditional Neapolitan dishes: from pasta alla Nerano to torta caprese, including the timeless caprese salad and spaghetti al pomodoro.
Vegetarian, gluten-free, and kids-friendly options for an inclusive experience.
Gourmet selections: local cold cuts and cheeses, accompanied by Neapolitan focaccia and taralli.
Wine experience: the possibility to pair one, two, or four glasses of wine with a tasting of local specialties.
