The staff are professional, welcoming, helpful, and above all, down-to-earth and pleasantly friendly. Excellent wine cellar, well-recommended charcuterie and cheese platter, well-stocked menu, and a well-prepared first course of spaghetti all'assassina. The atmosphere is old-fashioned and elegant. I loved everything about it and highly recommend it.

Close to the historic centre, we pass the Baresana gate and along the street, on the right, we find the entrance to the restaurant under the watchful gaze of the Torre Angioina which stands on the left of the road. Upon entering we are greeted kindly and given a table. The restaurant, with its small spaces, immediately appears pleasant. The sensation is that of feeling at ease in a relaxed atmosphere, which works in favor of the place and the diners. The menu is a search for intertwining traditional flavors and national and international contaminations. At the start of the Bao, steamed sandwiches, with pulled pork filling and other innovative ones with parmigiana. Next, an appreciated proposal is certainly the buffalo mozzarella stuffed with courgettes simply placed on a cross of rocket. More elaborate is the Cremoso di Martina, a construction whose base is aubergine cream, on which a crouton of bread, burrata and a cape of capocollo from Martina Franca are placed. A delight on the palate. The Caesar salad , light and satiating. Among the first courses, the Sapori d 'Oriente , wheat spaghetti, seasonal vegetables, egg, teriyaki, sesame and sprinkling of ginger, are a successful gamble. Soqquadro , a pasta with pears, gorgonzola and crumbled walnuts, delicate on the palate with its sweet/savory contrast between pears and gorgonzola. A simple intuition that draws from the not letting people know of the more peasant tradition of eating cheese with pears. The playful presentation of the dish justifies the name given to the dish. Although the place has a good range of wines, we opted for craft beers, appreciating the qualities expressed in terms of aromas and flavours. The Sud from the Baladin Brewery, with its citrus notes and the Machete from the Ducato Birrificio, with its strong and aromatic hoppy taste. Overall, the evening left us with an excellent impression.
