The restaurant Antico Francischiello was founded by Francesco Gargiulo, known to anyone as Francischiello who, under uncle Cataldo’s suggestion, specialized as a chef in Paris, opened a restaurant close to the main square of Massa Lubrense. The restaurant became shortly the favourite place of gourmets and lovers of the cooking of the restaurant so that, for space reasons, moved to the Riviera that from Capo di Sorrento leads to Massa Lubrense.

The second seat of the Restaurant allowed guests to enjoy not only the delicious cooking but also the enchanting view which, on the background, allowed to contemplate the island of Capri.

To the founder, his son Giuseppe succeeded, who continued his father’s work excellently.
At present, in the full respect of the family tradition, the restaurant is run by the third generation of the family Gargiulo, Francesco and Firminia.
