We went back today, Christmas Eve, with all the gluten-free options at a reasonable price, especially for us who nowadays spend a lot of money on gluten-free.
Delicious handmade gluten-free taralli, excellent quality products at low prices... so far, our favorite place for gluten-free.

A surprising discovery. A quaint restaurant with outdoor seating in Torre a Mare's main square overlooking the sea, but also a very welcoming indoor dining room. Let the owner advise you, introducing you to the off-menu dishes and making your mouth water with his explanations of their preparations. We ordered several dishes to share, especially an excellent picanha carpaccio with truffle and a phenomenal fava bean, chicory, and onion dish. Top-notch, we'll be back.

Gemavvì was born in July 2017. Right in the market square in front of the harbor, just steps away from boats and waves, appeared a place dedicated to meat lovers and traditional norcineria-style panini — a true challenge in a world dominated by seafood.
A real story about courage and vision: Gemavvì – The Norcineria That Defied All Expectations.
At Gemavvì, the ingredients are the stars. Artisanal cured meats, prepared according to traditional recipes, fresh and full of flavor, are transformed into mouthwatering panini. From fine salamis, local cheeses, crispy bacon, and soft rolls — everything is designed to highlight the authentic taste of Italian norcineria craftsmanship.
Every baguette or panino is an explosion of flavors: crispy on the outside, tender inside, with simple but perfect combinations. Local spices, olive oil, and attention to every detail turn a simple sandwich into a gourmet experience.
We began our culinary adventure at Gemavvì – Norcineria Baguetteria with Polpette di vitello su cremosa di pistacchio – an authentic delight. The veal meatballs are tender, juicy, and full of aroma, each bite melting gently in your mouth. They rest delicately on a fine homemade pistachio cream that adds a subtle sweet-salty note and velvety texture, turning the dish into a perfect balance of rustic and sophisticated. An authentic, surprising, and memorable taste – exactly what you’d expect from a norcineria that pays attention to every detail.
Then we moved on to a trilogy of platters, each designed to showcase the full range of authentic flavors from Puglia and beyond…
Un giro fra i trulli from Gemavvì – Norcineria Baguetteria is a true journey through the authentic tastes of the Valle d’Itria. This degustation path brings together the best traditional local cured meats, each with its own distinct flavor and character, prepared according to recipes passed down from generation to generation. From lightly smoked salamis to delicate prosciutto, every bite bursts with flavor, creating a culinary journey through the heart of Puglia — full of authenticity and pleasure.
Sapori Toscani – an elegant dive into Tuscany’s gastronomic tradition. Finocchiona I.G.P., with its subtle fennel aroma, pairs perfectly with guanciale stagionato, browned and fragrant, and coppa di testa, delicate and rich in flavor. Each type of meat is carefully selected and prepared to preserve its authentic taste, and together they create an explosion of textures and aromas that transport you straight to the heart of Tuscany.
La Scelta del Casaro is a true feast for cheese lovers. This selection includes sheep and cow cheeses carefully chosen for their aroma and texture, each piece an example of rustic refinement. For the perfect contrast, they are accompanied by homemade jams produced right at Gemavvì, adding sweet and fruity notes that turn every bite into an explosion of flavor and freshness — a true tribute to Italian tradition.
The place itself is small, cozy, and full of authentic charm, with a relaxed atmosphere that perfectly fits the soul of a fishing village. Locals come for the taste, tourists for the authenticity, and everyone leaves impressed by how simplicity can become sophistication.
At Gemavvì, you can feel that the food is made with passion and respect for tradition — even if opening a norcineria here once seemed like pure madness.
Gemavvì – Norcineria Baguetteria is where that “crazy idea” turned into pure joy for the palate. Each sandwich is a celebration of flavor, and the relaxed seaside atmosphere transforms an ordinary meal into a complete experience.
If you find yourself in Torre a Mare and want to taste the spirit of Puglia through meat, fresh bread, and authentic aromas, Gemavvì is the place you can’t miss.

Gemmavì in Torre a Mare is a real find for those who love authentic flavors. Excellent pork butcher's shop, with fresh, flavorful products, prepared with great care. We tried several dishes and found everything delicious and high-quality, from the cured meats to the house specialties. Plus, the prices are fair, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. A highly recommended place for those who want to eat well in the heart of Torre a Mare.

We went to Gemavvi' yesterday for lunch, the staff never disappoints. While we were waiting for a table, the owner kindly offered us something, especially to stave off my son's cravings 😁. The quality of the ingredients was well above average. I'm looking forward to the next events so they can recommend some other gems.
