In the making · The method
The pizzas are baked in the wood-fired oven according to Italian tradition, a method that guarantees a fragrant crust and a soft dough. The long rising time produces a light, airy result, characteristic of Neapolitan-style pizza.
The pasta is made fresh every day in the restaurant's workshop. Filled ravioli, gnocchi and long pasta shapes come from artisan work that respects the timing and gestures of Salento tradition.
Every dish is inspired by the authentic preparations of Salento cuisine, following the original recipes of a territory that expresses the character of a land between two seas. From land to sea, every ingredient tells the culinary story of Southern Italy.
