Braceria il Piccio In Corato

I'd been following the restaurant's Instagram page for a while and, drawn by their posts, last Saturday I decided to try it with three dear friends. Our expectations were definitely met: Il Piccio proved to be a must-visit for anyone passing through Minervino Murge. We opted for the dinner menu, which, at the incredible price of €25 per person, offers a comprehensive and generous selection of traditional local flavors. The Appetizer: We start off strong with local products. The cheeses stand out, with an excellent scamorza, a very fresh ricotta, and a delicious, juicy mozzarella. Among the cured meats, an exceptional capocollo deserves an honorable mention, a spicy salami with a kick of its own, and a truly delicious artisanal treat reminiscent of cotechino. Everything is accompanied by a warm focaccia of their own production and the inevitable traditional delicacies: bread balls and cucoli (delicious little fried dough balls), perfect for pairing with the cured meats. The house red wine, with its strong and intense flavor, perfectly complemented this first course. La Brace (the main course): The meat is the absolute star. We were served a perfectly cooked mix with the unmistakable marks of real embers: Donkey sausage with an incredible and deep flavor. Succulent pork shoulder. Classic sausage and tender horse meat strips. The masterful touch? The selected cuts are served on a bed of potatoes enriched with long green peppers: a side dish that captures all the juices and flavors of the embers, becoming something extraordinary. In summary: Excellent raw materials, respect for tradition, and a final price (€25 per person) that is honestly rare for such quality and quantity. I will definitely be back! Tip for travelers: We highly recommend booking well in advance, especially for Saturday evenings, as the place is rightfully very popular. Price per person: €20-30 (fixed menu €25) Recommended dishes: Mixed grilled meats on a bed of potatoes and green peppers, Cucoli (a type of sausage), and mixed Murgia antipasti.

Everything was excellent, we had a great time. The owner was fantastic, the staff was kind and professional. We felt at ease. Highly recommended.

Excellent restaurant in the historic center of Minervino Murge (BT). Authentic food, artisanal quality, excellent service.

A place that takes you back to a time when family dining becomes sacred. Delicious and authentic dishes. Felice, the owner, is kind and very helpful. Not only that, he instinctively understands the customers' needs and knows how to be a leader, bringing harmony to the group and inviting them to another glass of wine...the healthy kind. Recommended.

Fantastic experience. The owner is a wonderful person, as is his staff. Excellent food and super hospitality. Thank you.

The atmosphere is really clean and well-organized. We were here for the first time, and the owner and waiter were super kind! The meat was delicious, he gave us great advice, and the prices were super fair. Plus, Felice (the owner) offered us desserts and liqueurs (which were also excellent). Highly recommended. P.S.: Thank you for everything, we had a great time 🤩

We spent Mother's Day with Felice and his restaurant in Minervino, and it was a truly special experience. Felice is genuine, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. The menu is simply amazing: each dish showcases tradition with just the right amount of innovation that surprises without ever distorting the true flavors of the area. Excellent quality ingredients, attention to detail, and unforgettable flavors. Everything was delicious, from appetizers to dessert, with a perfect balance of traditional cuisine and creativity. You could sense the passion, experience, and love for what was served. A beautiful day, made even more enjoyable by the family atmosphere and the professionalism of the entire staff. We'll definitely be back. — Daniela, Lamberto "Il Barbone" R, little Noah, the spaghetti chef from the Castelli Romani
