Overview

Il Cuoppo Friggitori Napoletani is a Napoli-rooted street-food brand that reinterprets traditional Neapolitan fried recipes in a gourmet format, emphasising high-quality inputs such as high-oleic sunflower oil. The company operates three directly managed retail locations in Naples and a central production centre of over 400 sqm equipped for ATM packaging and freezing. Revenue grew from €219,000 in 2021 to €603,000 in 2022 and €714,000 in 2023; reported profits were €36,000 (2021), €64,000 (2022) and a preliminary €97,000 in 2023 with an EBITDA margin of 16.5%. The business has distributed part of its profits since 2022 and highlights strong brand reputation, winning the Food Advisor prize and inclusion in the Gambero Rosso 2021 street-food guide. Certifications for ATM (15-day shelf life) and frozen products (3-month shelf life) underpin plans to enter GDO. Growth initiatives include new direct openings (planned in Rome and Milan), franchising, GDO commercialisation, events & catering, and digitalisation of production processes.
