The popina, also known as Thermopolum, was the equivalent in antiquity of our taverns, were the clients were served with warm food already cooked, preserved in terracotta jars embedded in a counter; that's because the popina is considered by many as the fast food of antiquity.

Our scope is to make and propose recipes (the so-called 'archeo-recepies') we would have tasted in a thermopolium, or the re-discovery of the ancient flavours and the strong scents which colored the our ancestors' everyday life.

 

Every detail of our activity is based on the knoledge of the culinary reality of the time and everything is made in the strict respect of literary, archeological and icononographic sources.

 

​Furthermore, a replica of the Popina in Pompeii has been made.
