It is called Casa 50, the new brand of the 50 Kalò group by Ciro Salvo and Alessandro Guglielmini, a project that marks the opening to a different language, yet still consistent with the vision that has made the 50 Kalò brand recognizable in Italy and abroad. Casa 50 – Mediterranean Cuisine opens in Naples, in the premises that once housed Fratelli La Bufala, in the same Piazza Sannazaro (corner of Via Caracciolo) where it all began over ten years ago with the first 50 Kalò pizzeria. Born from the desire to explore the world of cuisine, Casa 50 expands the group’s horizon to offer a new gastronomic experience: Mediterranean, authentic, strongly linked to the territory, inspired by the garden and seasonality. Chef of Casa 50 is Giovanni Sorrentino, a well-known name on the Campania and Italian restaurant scene, already in the Michelin Guide for his restaurant Gerani (Bib Gourmand) in Sant’Antonio Abate, with a long experience gained in important national and international kitchens. “My cuisine is based on seasonality, respect for raw materials, ethical research of small producers, and a balance between vegetables, fresh fish, and selected meats,” declares the chef, “my dishes are simple, deep, and always in the service of taste, without excesses or superstructures. Casa 50 represents today the natural continuation of this path, a project that combines technique, experience, and Mediterranean sensitivity within a current proposal, which winks at the Neapolitan and foreign public, attentive and demanding.” The menu of Casa 50 will offer some great classics of the chef like his famous Mezzanello allardiato, but also many new dishes inspired by the productions of Orto 50 Kalò on the Posillipo hill and the open grill which will be a space for experimenting with flavors and live cooking. The venue (with entrance from Via Sannazaro, 5 and Via Caracciolo, 10) is inside an elegant early 20th-century building: 600 square meters between indoors and outdoors for 80 seats inside and 70 outside. The large garden with centuries-old palm trees is one of the strengths of the venue. The interior design has been studied to offer a relaxed, pleasant, and contemporary dining experience.
