ristorazione — Altamura · Puglia
In Altamura, in the heart of Puglia's Alta Murgia, where the red earth has never known the tide, Gusto d'Altura has chosen to bring the sea inland. Not as nostalgia, but as a concrete promise: freshness selected daily, worked with respect and inventiveness in a dining room that forgets nothing.
Crossing the threshold at Via Bari 110, one finds a place that has chosen to defy geography: Altamura lies hours from the sea, and yet here oysters, langoustines and red prawns arrive fresh every single day. The ingredients are carefully selected, brought in from the coast and handled with the respect owed to something precious and perishable.
The dining room is tended in every detail: a refined atmosphere, intimate lighting, tables set well apart. Antonio, the manager, guides his staff with discreet, professional care, never intrusive — a presence felt without ever weighing on the room. In the evenings, a live musical duo accompanies dinner, turning the meal into a small ceremony of the sea set in the Puglian hinterland.
From the kitchen come dishes that balance creativity with respect for the raw ingredients: raw seafood served on ice with oysters, langoustines and red prawns, light and crisp fried dishes, octopus tentacles in sauce, pasta with lobster. Rounding out every meal, a selected cellar of wines and champagnes — including spirits such as Marolo — designed to pair precisely with each course.
The sea finds its fullest form in the final dish: discover the full menu, the selected cellar, and how to book your table at Gusto d'Altura in Altamura.
