The team

The history of this farm is first and foremost the history of a family.
Here is what Antonio, the chef of Campo Antico, told us.
“In 2009 we turned our lives and those of our families upside down. We started this adventure with all the enthusiasm and commitment possible, giving up many things. In this job you have to take care of everything down to the smallest detail and you have to work harder, especially when others are having fun and are on vacation. Our families are the most sacrificed because we love our job, and as Steve Jobs said if you love your job you will never work! "

The day in Campo Antico begins with a delicious breakfast, with a wide selection of sideboard and pastry desserts chosen and prepared by the pastry chef Tiziana Carullo.
All the ingredients used are natural, from eggs to yeast to flour, chemistry is banned!
The presentation, which makes the desserts even more inviting, is very accurate as only those who love the art of pastry can do.

The King of the kitchen is the Chef Antonio Carullo.
Antonio tells us “catering is gastronomy and everything must be prepared by our hands. The gastronomic heritage of the Italian tradition is famous all over the world, we don't have to invent anything but only prepare the dishes of our tradition in the best possible way, using quality raw materials. We must be inspired by our grandmothers, housewives and cook by handing down the history and taste of the dishes ".
