Paris – Paris is preparing to welcome Frammenti, a new food venture by Angelo Cipullo that brings to the French capital a vision of pizza deeply rooted in Italian culture, yet open to experimentation and new forms of conviviality. The name itself captures the philosophy behind the project: fragments of life, memories and emotions to be shared, much like the small tastings that make up a culinary journey. It is an approach that goes beyond the idea of pizza as a simple product, presenting it instead as an expression of culture, tradition and the distinctly Italian pleasure of gathering around the table. “I chose the name Frammenti because I liked the idea of bringing together lots of little pieces: experiences, sensations and, of course, different interpretations of pizza,” explains Angelo Cipullo. “Each tasting represents one part of a wider journey, made up of different flavours and sensations. I wanted to create a place with a strong Italian identity, capable of bringing our food culture, the pleasure of sharing and the value of conviviality to Paris through a contemporary approach that reflects my own vision.” The menu will centre on two major interpretations of pizza: Neapolitan and Roman. Other styles will also feature, from pizza alla pala to pinsa, broadening the range of tasting experiences and showcasing the different possibilities of Italian bread-making. The offering will extend beyond pizza, with a selection of starters, a few pasta dishes and salads designed to suit different occasions throughout the day. One of the highlights will be a tasting menu available by reservation, designed to guide guests through the many different expressions of pizza. The opening is scheduled for November at 4 avenue Hubert Germain, 75016 Paris, in a central location within easy reach of some of the French capital’s most iconic landmarks, including the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower.
