THE HOME OF FRESH PASTA!
The word Vapiano doesn’t actually exist. it’s created from an old Italian proverb – “Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano”: which, when translated means “If you have an easy-going and relaxed approach to life, you’ll live healthily and longer” and no matter how busy our days, we always aim to maintain this ethos.
The first Vapiano opened on 22nd of October, 2002 in Hamburg, Germany.
Two years later, the founders decided to set Vapiano on a world tour and today there are over 145 franchise restaurants across 32 countries
