The parlor of the Gautinger Tennis Club has had new tenants since April 1st. They offer Italian cuisine inspired by the Naples region.
Gauting – “A Modo Mio” (My Way) is now the name of the tennis parlor on the Gautinger sports club site at Leutstettenerstraße 54. Just in time for the start of the season, the new tenant Massimo Santullo and his Gautinger partner Luisa Galetto took over the Gautinger’s previous restaurant “Cosa Nostra”. Tennis clubs (TC). In addition to pizza and pasta to take away, the menu of the trattoria with its inviting sun terrace also includes delicious homemade cakes from “Nonna Luisa”.
From the Gautinger economic developer Dr. Fabian Kühnel-Widmann found out that the board of the tennis club was looking for a new tenant for the club room with 30 seats in the restaurant and another 60 on the sun terrace, says Luisa Galetto. The mother of four adult children is well known locally. The native of northern Italy came to Gauting with her parents from Veneto as a four-year-old girl and grew up here. With her late ex-husband, the young-at-heart “Nonna” (grandmother), now ten times old, once ran the Gautinger “Mangelstube” on Münchener Strasse.
Luisa Galetto seized the new opportunity with her current partner, the trained chef and pizza maker Massimo Santullo (51). “We have had the lease with the TC since March 1st,” says the landlady. At the “pre-opening” on brightly beautiful Easter Sunday, Gautinger’s large families with their children and many couples enjoyed fragrant pizzas, cappuccinos and espressos on the sun terrace. The “Capricciosa” was particularly well received by the tennis cracks.
Massimo Santullo has been working as a restaurateur in Upper Bavaria since 1999
That's no wonder: Chef Massimo Santullo learned his craft from scratch in his homeland. As you can see in the large photo in the Tennisstüberl, he comes from the Gulf of Naples, says the pizza baker from the small village of Torre del Greco at the foot of Vesuvius. He learned to be a cook from his parents in the local restaurant. Massimo Santullo has been working as a restaurateur in Upper Bavaria since 1999. According to the father of three, he ran restaurants in Freising and Oberammergau. The 51-year-old has been baking his pizzas based on the original Neapolitan recipe “on stone” in the Gautinger Tennisstüberl since April 1st, as he emphasizes. The trattoria's menu also includes salads and classic pasta such as spaghetti Bolognese - and, occasionally, lasagna. Fish and meat are only available to order. The restaurateur couple gets the latter from a butcher in Pähl. The new tenants received a miniature vintage car from the board of the tennis club, a model of the “Ford Thunderbird”. The simple reason: “I’m an Elvis fan,” says the landlady beaming. The King of Rock n' Roll drove a car like this.
