Traveling all over the world, Alfredo Resi brought only the finest
coffee beans from South America, Brazil, and Africa back to
Italy in 1936. Producing his coffee for the Allied Armed Forces
during the second World War, the Resi family name became one
of the most central in the Neapolitan coffee market.
Today, led by the fourth generation and 85 years of experience,
we guarantee a deep-rooted passion and knowledge of true
Italian espresso by combining the tradition of master roasters
with our technical expertise.
A wonderful, centuries-old tradition exists in Napoli: the gift
of coffee to strangers. Beginning in the late 1800s, one could order
a sospeso, paying the price of two coffees, but consuming only
one. Anyone could then ask if there was a “suspended” coffee
available and would be served a coffee for free. A tradition
of kindness and generosity, this gesture that’s as simple as buying
due caffè instead of one, can change the course of someone else’s
day for the better- and Napoli knows it.
