Our Story
About Bella Napoli
Bella Napoli was founded in 1987 by the Esposito family, who arrived in Lyon from Naples with nothing more than a handful of recipes, a wood-fired oven, and an unshakeable belief that great food brings people together.
Three generations later, we still make our pasta by hand each morning, source our San Marzano tomatoes directly from a small farm in Campania, and welcome every guest as if they were sitting at our family table.
