Melius

Pompeii


Stop by this luscious gourmet deli to revel in the taste of Campania. There's a vibrant in-house restaurant where you can sit down to local delicacies such as fresh mozzarella di bufala (buffalo mozzarella), Graniano pasta, smoked Cilento salamis, and anchovies from Cetara, or you can buy to take away.

For a self-catered treat, pick up some fragrant bread, a bottle of local Falanghina and some ready edibles; the peppery marinated aubergines and pizza di scarole (escarole pie) are equally divine.
