Closed by Nas and Asl, this morning in Naples, the Antica Pizzeria Brandi, one of the most renowned historical places in the city where, according to tradition, the Margherita pizza was invented in 1889.
According to what has been learned, the authorities during an inspection in August had found hygienic-sanitary deficiencies and imposed prescriptions, with respect to which today the restaurant would have been found in default.
On social media, with a multilingual post also translated into Arabic and Chinese, the Brandi pizzeria announces that it will be closed today and tomorrow "for extraordinary maintenance".
The restaurant was closed at the disposal of the health authorities but work is being carried out inside to comply with the prescriptions of the Nas and the ASL in order to reopen.
The Antica Pizzeria Brandi is located uphill Sant'Anna di Palazzo, in Chiaia, the city's good living room: inside it is placed a plaque that commemorates, in 1989, the 100 years since the creation of the first Margherita pizza in the place.
Reported and surveyed by tourist guides from around the world, the place also boasts the title of "oldest pizzeria in the world", opened in 1760. In 2017 it launched a special Margherita to celebrate the Unesco recognition attributed to Neapolitan pizza.
