Grandpa’s House 13

Casa del Nonno 13 is an iconic restaurant in Campania. Here , tradition and local ingredients come together in a cuisine that celebrates the quality of the ingredients and the seasonality of the produce.

The project stems from the vision of Raffaele Vitale, architect and chef-owner, who led the restaurant until 2017, when he stepped down. Thanks to his talent, Casa del Nonno 13 earned its Michelin star and became a landmark in regional gastronomy, embodying an authentic culinary culture deeply rooted in the local area.

After he left, several chefs took up the torch, continuing to uphold the spirit of Casa del Nonno 13. Then came the difficult years of the pandemic, a period that led to the project’s temporary closure.

In September 2022, a group of young entrepreneurs—already well-established in the fine dining scene in Campania and Tuscany—revitalized Casa del Nonno 13, restoring both its form and substance. This revival combines innovation and tradition, while respecting the original identity that made the restaurant iconic.

Today, thanks to the expertise of Chef Gioacchino Attianese—who is also a partner in the group—Casa del Nonno 13 continues to be the guardian of the culinary culture that made it famous. Gioacchino, the heir to this tradition, reinterprets the traditional dishes of our region with a contemporary sensibility, highlighting seasonal ingredients and carefully selecting the finest locally sourced ingredients, proudly carrying on the unique character of this iconic place.

Casa del Nonno 13 celebrates the region and the quality of its products, offering cuisine that is down-to-earth yet elegant, distinctive, and deeply rooted in the traditions of Campania, while always remaining open to innovation.

The Chef

Gioacchino Attianese —born in Angri in 1985—is a chef who blends artistic sensibility, technical skill, and a deep connection to his region. Trained alongside some of the most illustrious figures in Italian cuisine, he has honed his craft at iconic establishments such as Casa Rispoli in Cava de’ Tirreni, the Maxi at the Hotel Capo la Gala with Domenico Iavarone, alongside Andrea Aprea at the Comandante in Naples and at the Park Hyatt in Milan, at Quattro Passi in Nerano, at Palazzo Sasso with Pino Lavarra, with Oliver Glowig at the Aldrovandi Villa Borghese, and at the Mosaico at Terme Manzi in Ischia with Nino Di Costanzo.

Since 2022, he has been at the helm of the kitchen at Casa del Nonno 13 in Mercato San Severino, where he carries on the legacy of an iconic Campania restaurant, reinterpreting its traditions with elegance, sophistication, and a contemporary touch. His cuisine stems from a direct relationship with small local producers, a rigorous selection of locally sourced ingredients, and a respect for seasonal produce, all of which come together to create dishes that are both rooted in culinary tradition and innovative in technique and aesthetic conception.

An exclusive evening celebrating the fusion of cuisine, regional identity, and fine wines, featuring a culinary journey curated by Chef Gioacchino Attianese, paired with wines from Cantina Astroni.

The experience begins with an aperitif in the garden prepared by pizza chef Cristian Santomauro, who was recognized by Forbes Italia for his project *L’Ammaccata*, a refined tribute to the culinary heritage of Cilento and the tradition of historic Cilentan pizza.
