HISTORY

"CHI VA PIANO VA SANO E VA LONTANO"

Olivier Vapiano

Inspired by the famous Italian proverb "Chi va piano va sano e va lontano", the founders of Vapiano decided more than 20 years ago to create a quality, authentic and warm Italian-Mediterranean restaurant chain. Vapiano makes it a point of honour for each of its restaurants to be a place of encounters and exchanges where people come to savour delicious Italian specialities in a relaxed and family atmosphere.

From the pasta prepared daily in the “Manifattura” to the desserts, homemade dishes cooked right in front of guests and the freshness of products are at the heart of Vapiano’s values. Each dish is a flavourful taste experience that transports our guests under the sun of Italy.

Présent partout dans le monde avec 142 restaurants dont actuellement 15 en France, l’expérience Vapiano séduit de plus en plus et l’enseigne poursuit son développement dans l’Hexagone.

* “He who goes slowly goes safely and far.”, it means that we will go far if we go serenely and eat well.

DESIGN & AMBIANCE: A PERFUME OF DOLCE VITA

When we push the door of a Vapiano restaurant, we are reminded of Italy.

Lighting similar to natural sunlight, the noble materials of the furniture, the green walls and the multi-centenary olive trees, every detail immerses our guests into the heart of a true Mediterranean decor.

The Milanese architect and interior designer Matteo Thun wanted to transcribe in the construction of the restaurants all the freshness and quality of the Vapiano cuisine, creating a cosy atmosphere, typical of Italy.

It is possible to have a drink, to share some antipasti for aperitif or to enjoy a good meal around one of the beautiful blond oak tables in the center of the spacious dining rooms. These large tables are great for discussions and can accommodate up to 8 people. Our guests can sit with friends and family but also with other people, thus promoting the spirit of sharing dear to Vapiano.

From the homelike atmosphere to the art of hospitality and design, at Vapiano everything is conceived to give you an Italian getaway within the space of a meal.
