The story of La Maison de la Mozzarella began in 2014, on rue Violet in the 15th arrondissement. It was there that the Rosa brothers, Neapolitans, created the very first Italian artisanal (and daily) mozzarella production workshop in Paris. To do this, they bring in buffalo milk from Campania, their native region. With their success, they opened a grocery store on rue de Lourmel in 2019. Fans will find there, in addition to mozzarellas, burratas and other scamorzas, Neapolitan products and homemade dishes, with mostly organic raw materials.

This bottega siciliana also offers pinse romane, tasty crispy and light Roman pizzas, made with three flours (wheat, rice and soy). To take away or to enjoy on a terrace in the summertime.
