What you will do

Stop 1
Arrive at Caupona, a masterfully recreated ancient Roman tavern (caupona) located just moments from the archaeological site. Step back into the 1st century AD as you slip into authentic patrician attire — a distinguished senator’s toga or an elegant noble matrona’s stola.
Take your reserved seat beneath hand-painted Roman frescoes and warm candlelight to feast on dishes inspired by classical Roman recipes:
- Roman Focaccia Menu: A welcoming Roman entrée, freshly baked herb focaccia, and a glass of regional wine.
- Complete 5-Course Banquet: A sumptuous multi-course culinary voyage through antiquity, including heritage appetizers, savory Roman mains, seasonal sides, dessert, mineral water, cover charge, and wine.
- Upgrades & Add-ons: Elevate your feast with an ancient-style seafood menu or enjoy additional pours of fine Campanian wine.
