About us
VAPIANO stands for fresh Italian cuisine, a relaxed atmosphere, and a modern restaurant concept. In our restaurants, people from urban cities come together to enjoy what truly matters: high-quality food, good conversations, and spontaneous, laid-back moments. VAPIANO is the place for everyone who loves Italian dining — uncomplicated, fresh, and contemporary.
A key feature of many VAPIANO restaurants is the glass pasta manufactory, where guests can watch fresh pasta being made on site. We deliberately avoid central production facilities: pasta, sauces, dressings, and desserts are homemade in each restaurant, using only fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Ease, openness, and enjoyment are at the heart of the VAPIANO experience. These values are lived every day by our team members, the Vapianisti, and appreciated by our guests. Since the opening of the first VAPIANO on October 22, 2002, in Hamburg, the brand has stood for Italian enjoyment without rush.
Just two years later, VAPIANO evolved into an international franchise restaurant concept. Today, VAPIANO operates more than 155 restaurants in around 32 countries worldwide and is one of the best-known brands for fresh pasta, pizza, and Italian cuisine.
True to the Italian saying:
“Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano” —
Those who take life calmly and lightly live healthier and longer.
