Pizzeria Antico Grottino was founded in 1999 by Ernesto Partziale.


the surname Partziale in Naples is associated with pizza since it is from the seventh generation that they have been making pizza chefs, so much so that father Franco started working at a very young age in the historic Trianon pizzeria in the heart of the city of Naples. Papa Franco, perfected in the art of pizza, decided to bring the real Neapolitan pizza to Anzio, in fact he opened a pizzeria called the scugnizzo where he taught little Ernesto, at the tender age of 9, the art of Neapolitan pizza. Dad built a miniature workbench where Ernesto practiced making pizzas next to him.


At first Ernesto took it as a game but then growing up he took it as a job and pushed by his father and older brother, who strongly believed in his abilities, he opened the Antico Grottino, a small pizzeria based mainly on take-away, located in a alley of Anzio. At the beginning it was hard, but slowly people began to discover a new flavor, simple and genuine that of the real Neapolitan pizza, savoring a naturally leavened dough at 48 hours. And so it was that over the years Ernesto established himself as a pizza chef, participating in numerous competitive events, up to winning the pizza Olympics Held in Salerno, European cup in Aprilia, Mediterranean cup in Naples, pizza chef of the year in Anzio, trophy Caputo in Naples which was one of the most important events in the Campania region as the best and veteran Neapolitan pizza makers competed, the world cup held in Lecce, the ricci trophy in Naples with celiac pizza. Given the success of his pizza, Ernesto decided to offer a better service to his customers by moving to a larger place giving people the opportunity to taste his freshly baked pizza at the table, he continued to use his imagination by creating delicious appetizers, such as famous "montanara", which accompanied his pizza. The Antico Grottino was more populated, so Ernesto needed to work alongside people who could live up to his expectations and after a thorough search he found them, teaching each of them a job to perform in his pizzeria and these people are still part of his staff today. Over the years, the Antico Grottino became one of the most famous pizzerias, not only in Anzio but in the entire coast and surrounding areas.


It begins to be overpopulated both in winter and in summer, so Ernesto decides to move to a larger venue, the historic local in via Aldobrandini, the former palm bar, transforming it into the most IN pizzeria in Anzio, in fact with the help of wife have made it welcoming, comfortable, original and above all there are two wood-burning ovens that churn out 19 pizzas at a time, this allows a quick service, so much so that even on days of full work, for example on Saturdays, you can eat in a very short time without long waits for pizza.
