Pizzerias and gastronomies in Milan

THE ESSENCE OF CILENTO

Chef Paolo De Simone brings a selection of his Cilento to Milan: curated products, knowledge of the local area, and a direct relationship with the producers.

The story of Modus

EVERYTHING STARTS FROM CILENTO

It all begins in Vallo della Lucania, in the heart of the Cilento territory, in 2010 with Storie di Pane.

In 2022, that world arrived in Milan with pizzerias and gastronomies and a basic idea: Simple Eating.

Storie di Pane

Bakery, gourmet shop and wine bar in the heart of the Cilento region. Our wood-fired oven bakes bread made from ancient, stone-ground, 100% whole-wheat grains: the same flour used for the Cilento-style pizza at Modus.
Selected, visited, and vetted by Paolo De Simone
