Gino Sorbillo Genova

About

Gino Sorbillo belongs to one of the oldest pizza chef families in Naples. His grandparents, Luigi Sorbillo and Carolina Esposito, founded the first pizzeria in 1935 on via dei Tribunali, defined by many as the "Via della Pizza Napoletana" in the ancient center of the city. The Sorbillo couple gave birth to 21 children, all of whom became pizza chefs. Gino’s dad, Salvatore, is the nineteenth of twenty‑one children. Gino grew up in the family pizzeria and soon learned the secrets of the real Neapolitan pizza that he loves to describe as "those of the city’s poor alleys"—larger, generous and accessible to all. Soon Gino manifested his style and imprint; the family trade combined with his strong natural artistic vein allows him to communicate through his creations. The centenary tradition is thus presented in a contemporary key, contributing to one of the greatest changes that have occurred in the world of pizza in recent decades. At its Genova branch, patrons can savor classic Neapolitan pizza, signature fritta pizza, and inventive all'italiana varieties, all made with high‑quality, organic ingredients sourced from Campania. The pizzeria offers an authentic, family‑friendly atmosphere that has earned national and international acclaim.
