ilsecchioeelolivarosince1999
The Secchio e l’Olivaro stands out for its unique pizza. The pizza, baked in a tray in a wood-fired oven, undergoes a double cooking process: first on the burning embers and then on the brick. The result is a pizza with a soft and crumbly heart and a biscuity base. Additionally, they boast a selection of over 20 types of bruschetta, made with homemade bread and original toppings that change according to the seasonality of the products. To meet customers’ needs, they also offer gluten-free products, certified by the Italian Celiac Association (AIC).
