Our story begins off the coast of Napoli

Passion for good food and wine runs deep in our hearts. In 2015, Simona Sarpa moved from Napoli, Italy, to let Tampa Bay taste a little piece of Neapolitan tradition in a kitchen inspired by her grandparents pizzeria/rosticceria, Pizzicato at Piazza Municipio Napoli, and family of the famous pasticceria (pastry shop) Poppella, founded back in 1920 in the popular area “Rione Sanita” Napoli. She follows the tradition of Neapolitan cuisine passed down through the generations.

The Sogna Napoli kitchen relies mostly on imported products from Italy to meet the authenticity of the Neapolitan cuisine. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a large, artisan, handcrafted Italian brick oven built in Italy from the famous biscotto di Sorrento stone to perfectly cook the Neapolitan-style pizza. Flour and dough leavened for 48 hours result in pizzas with soft crusts and beautiful airy pockets that add a delightful crunch.
