I visited Ekklesia in Torre del Greco about a week ago, and I have to say it's a truly curious and original place. What makes it unique is that it occupies an old aristocratic chapel dating back to the late 18th–early 19th century, now deconsecrated and transformed into a bar with a charming and evocative atmosphere.
Upon entering, you immediately notice that the decor evokes the sacredness of the structure: there's a confessional, electric votive candles, stained-glass windows, church-like floors and plasterwork, and even the smell exuded sacredness 🤣.
Following a short corridor, which leads to the interior of the chapel, you then emerge into a large and well-kept rear garden, with plenty of tables, a stage for live music, and a large central tree that conveys grandeur and peace.
The staff was very kind and helpful; you immediately notice that they are all friendly and knowledgeable.
The drinks are truly remarkable: the one I chose, O' Munaciello, surprised me with its originality and flavor—it was truly delicious. Finally, the prices are absolutely in line with the type of venue.
I absolutely recommend a visit: whether for an aperitif, an evening drink, or an evening with live music, Ekklesia is an experience that combines history, atmosphere, and good drinking.
We've been there several times, falling in love with the unique location and the cocktails we've never tasted anywhere else. The fresh, young management adds a touch of excellence. Highly recommended.
