The Story
Murivecchi was opened in 2004 in El Born by Neapolitan Ciro Esposito and his family, who still run the restaurant today alongside his wife Imma Herrera and their children Kiara and Gino. Over more than twenty years, the family has served more than one million diners from its address on Carrer de la Princesa, a short walk from the Arc de Triomf.
The Cuisine
The kitchen focuses on southern Italian classics: Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzas baked in 90 seconds at 480°C on dough fermented for 72 hours, pasta sourced from Gragnano, and signature dishes served inside hollowed-out pecorino cheese wheels for two. Wines are drawn from Campania, Sicily, Tuscany and Puglia, and desserts are made in-house.
The Team
The restaurant is a family operation led by Neapolitan founder Ciro Esposito, together with his wife Imma Herrera and their children Kiara and Gino.

Primmavera, se sente addore 'e mare Dint' 'e suonne 'e chi nun parte maje Piglio 'o sole 'a coppa 'o sesto piano 'Stu balcone oggi me pare Sharm Quanno è festa se sente dint' 'a l'aria Se respira tutt' 'a felicità 'E chi aspetta pe' 'na semmana sana 'Sta jurnata e se vò arricreà
