We are more than a Traditional Restaurant, but a refined Puglia Heritage Restaurant, a place where people can learn hands-on how a historical dish comes to life. The origins of a dish go beyond the recipe. They encompass the history of a region. Over the years, many of our customers have rediscovered flavors long lost in their memory. Forgotten tastes that have touched their hearts, bringing back vivid memories. Currently, our Maestro di cucina is Giorgio Grassi. He learned everything from Rosalba De Carlo, his mother, a great expert in Puglia’s culinary culture. She belongs to the noble baronial family Andriani De Vito of Corigliano d’Otranto. Being also in close contact with the peasants of her village, Rosalba has deep knowledge of both the rich and the humble versions of the same culinary tradition. For this reason, a conference with the UNESCO Patronage chose her as a Case Study in 2010. Rosalba is a great treasure to our Restaurant, but above all a precious jewel of our family.

Lecce is best known for its sumptuous baroque architecture, but the city has an equally rich cuisine worth exploring. Discover both its cultural treasures and gastronomic delights with this tour that combines a guided walk past the Basilica of Santa Croce, the cathedral, and other highlights of the historic center with stops to sample traditional specialties like savory “rustico” and “frisella” pastries, and the sweet custard-filled “pasticciotto”.

Connect with a local cook to learn how to make both pasta and tiramisù in her home kitchen with this private cooking class, ideal for both adults and kids.

The countryside around Lecce is thick with wineries and olive farms, but reaching these outlying estates is a challenge without a car. With this tasting, sample the best wines and olive oils from the Puglian hills right in the middle of the city.

This authentic pizza-making class stands out for its truly hands-on approach and professional guidance from an experienced local pizzaiolo. Unlike standard classes, you will learn not only how to prepare pizza, but also the key techniques behind dough fermentation, flour selection, and traditional Italian methods.

Since proper dough requires time to rise, you will also enjoy a freshly baked pizza prepared by the chef using matured dough, allowing you to taste the true final result. The experience takes place in a relaxed and welcoming setting, includes a drink, and ends with a certificate of participation. Perfect for food lovers looking for an authentic, immersive, and high-quality culinary experience in Lecce.
