    i. Biography

    Vittorio Figurato co-founded Fratelli Figurato in Madrid in 2017, putting Neapolitan Pizza at the center of the project from day one. The aim was not just to open a dining room, but to build a setting where the food would carry place, discipline, and reference point in the same frame. Figurato put it plainly: “We want to convey authenticity, so that when the diner enters our restaurants, they feel like they are in Italy.”

    The Climb

    Vittorio Figurato is the co-founder of Fratelli Figurato, a role he has held since 2017. That starting point defined the restaurant’s identity around Neapolitan Pizza, a style built on precision but judged just as much on how direct and welcoming it feels on the table. In Madrid, the work has stayed centered on that balance: a clear line back to Naples, shaped for a room that is meant to feel immediate.

    Today

    He continues as co-founder at the restaurant. The specialty remains Neapolitan Pizza. Over time, the focus has not shifted, and the kitchen has stayed anchored to the same core that shaped it at the beginning. The value of that continuity is simple: a steady commitment to a style that keeps its reference point intact while carrying the atmosphere the team set out to create.

Taken together, they show a kitchen working with clarity and fidelity to style.
