Castroni has always been synonymous with quality and family pride. The company was founded in via Cola di Rienzo, where the founder Umberto in 1932 opens a small workshop of 90 square meters, which in a very short time sees its dimensions tripled. Since then, that small business has become a real temple of Italian and international gastronomy, where you can find many specialties of the highest quality, from all over the world. Crossing the door of this renowned point of sale means, in fact, making a journey into the tastes and flavors of the five continents: 6,000 enogastronomic products offered, each with its own story to tell and its taste to savor, carefully selected by a family that, for 4 generations, is helping to write an important page of the history of Rome. Among those shelves full of history you can find Argentine, Brazilian, Mexican, Indian, Japanese and Egyptian specialties: from English tea to the green salt of Hawaii to the black salt of Cyprus; from Indonesian spices to local jams and sweets; from pasta to rice to gluten-free products. The pride of the shop is obviously the coffee, to be tasted in the inner bar together with the pastry of own production. “All the good in the world passes through our windows” asserts strongly Roberto Castroni, strong and determined man who over the years has managed to climb the peak of success, creating an important network of international contacts, without ever losing sight of the own Roman identity.
