Cambia-Menti di Ciccio Vitiello, Contemporary Italian restaurant in Caserta, Italy
Cambia-Menti di Ciccio Vitiello is a restaurant in Caserta focused on pizza and Campanian cooking, using ingredients sourced from the Terra di Lavoro area. The venue sits near the historic San Leucio silk complex and has its own garden where vegetables and fruit are grown for the kitchen.
The San Leucio area was home to a royal silk factory built in the 18th century by Bourbon king Ferdinand IV as a model community for his workers. This past still shapes the character of the neighborhood where the restaurant sits today.
The name of the restaurant plays on the idea of changing one's mind, which fits well with its approach of rethinking familiar Campanian dishes. The menu uses geometric symbols to indicate different dough styles, so diners can quickly see which option they are choosing.
The restaurant is on Via Generale Pasquale Tenga, close to the San Leucio complex, and opens in the evenings except on Tuesdays. Those wishing to see the garden should ask when booking, as this part of the property is not always open to visitors.
The restaurant's vegetable garden, called L'ORTO DI CICCIO, covers about 300 square meters (around 3,200 square feet) and supplies fresh produce directly to the kitchen. This garden is one of the few examples of its kind in the urban dining scene of Campania.
