HISTORY

Cisterna is a Bistrot located in the heart of Naples, its name comes from the same street where it is located, that is Via Cisterna dell’olio.
history tells that, on the project of the architect Giovanni Vincenzo Della Monica, the construction of four cisterns for the conservation of olive oil that came from all over the kingdom was deliberated.The cisterns are dug along the walls in both directions of Santa Maria di Costantinopoli and the Pignatelli di Monteleone palace. The large containers were created with new conservation methods. However, the cisterns are still underground and the shop at street number 5° it’s a proof oh that. Inside the normal commercial operation a marble plaque is still visible that indicates the capacity of the cistern below: 125.000 liters.

Steeped in charm and mystery, the cistern bistro is a place where you can savor tradition and breathe history.
