Nyù is the more informal bistro of one-Michelin-star restaurant Gellius, by chef Alessandro Breda, famous for being located inside the archeological site of the ancient Opitergium (Oderzo). Dating back to Augustus‘ reign, the first emperor of Rome, it is possibly one of the most stunning and well-conserved sites of entire Italy.

The Secret

The funeral urn of the freedman Gaius Gellius was also found in the archaeological site. The slave was made free for merits, according to the law in use in the Roman Empire, and right near Nyù he built his home and life as a free man. A fascinating story, reminiscent of that of Proximo from the film Gladiator, which inspired Alessandro Breda the name of Gellius restaurant which is located just above Nyù.
