MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

The location of this restaurant is certainly unique, with its different spaces (including small dining rooms adorned with modern works of art) for different parts of your meal – almost like a small village within a village. Here, chef Davide Pezzuto blends simplicity with creative experimentation, focusing on the region and its culinary traditions while also including the occasional influence from his native Puglia. He is ably supported front of house by the restaurant owner, who regales guests with interesting stories about the small town’s past. At the end of dinner, guests can order an excellent Turkish coffee, which is made according to an original recipe borrowed from the museum, and which highlights the Saracen dominance of the region around a thousand years ago.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"The restaurant's development and recuperation of the earth is shown first and foremost in their own produce. This ranges from Senatore Cappelli flour to hens' eggs, via ‘underwater’ wine. Showing their deep cultural sensitivity for the locale, the owner and chef have lovingly and respectfully studied the past of the village and the surrounding area, to imbue each of their dishes with the area's history."
