ristorazione — Cisternino · Puglia
In the heart of Cisternino, a whitewashed town in the Valle d'Itria set among olive groves and dry-stone walls, Antonio Bufano brings to the table a cuisine that belongs to this territory just as limestone belongs to its alleyways.
Cisternino is one of the most intact whitewashed towns of the Valle d'Itria: vaulted alleyways, silent courtyards, a light that seems to stand still. It is in this setting that Antonio Bufano chose to open his table, bringing Puglian cuisine into the living stone of the historic centre.
The dining room is where the story becomes conviviality. Tonio Chef offers a style of Dining rooted in the territory, one that knows the produce of the Murgia and the Valle d'Itria and brings it to the table with the respect owed to a tradition that needs no reinventing to feel current.
From the kitchen comes the meaning behind every choice: local ingredients, gestures handed down, a sequence of flavours that follows the rhythm of the Puglian seasons. It is here that the name Tonio Chef finds its most concrete reason, in the fire and in the raw material.
A Puglian table in the heart of a town that knows how to preserve what is authentic. Discover Tonio Chef in the full page.
