On Wednesday on 5 October 2016, the oldest Italian restaurant in Luxembourg, La Bella Napoli, celebrated its 40th anniversary with a cocktail reception for its loyal clientele..

The famous restaurant began as a tourist hotel with a huge court at the back which served as a playground for the Balestri-Vitali family’s children. Several years later, in 1976, Benito and Dlefina Balestri converted it into the “Pizzeria Bella Napoli” as it is known today, making it the first - and therefore today’s oldest - Italian restaurant in Luxembourg. In 1991, Giancarlo Balestri took over management and is still in charge today.

In recognition of the restaurant’s 40th anniversary, La Bella Napoli invites members of the public to discover, or rediscover, its famous authentic Italian cuisine 4 rue de Strasbourg L- 2560 Luxembourg.
