I visited La Frasca, near Borgo Egnazia, for lunch before visiting the charming Christmas markets, and it was a truly pleasant experience. I chose the Tasting Menu, which proved to be rich and well-designed: a wide and varied selection of traditional appetizers, followed by a first course of orecchiette with turnip greens, authentic in flavor and perfectly balanced.
The second course of slow-cooked beef was simply exquisite: tender, flavorful, and meticulously prepared. The menu also included dessert, which I thoroughly enjoyed and which rounded off the meal harmoniously.
The restaurant is beautiful and welcoming, with a refined style and atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing break. The service was surprisingly quick, without ever feeling rushed, and the staff was extremely kind, attentive, and professional.
I highly recommend this experience, ideal for both enjoying the excellent cuisine and soaking up the magical atmosphere of Borgo Egnazia during the Christmas season.

My husband treated me to a Christmas experience at La Frasca restaurant. We purchased the lunch + Christmas market package in the village.
Service: Orderly, well-prepared, attentive welcome.
Staff: Friendly, attentive, professional.
Food: An experience that left us extremely satisfied in every way. The appetizer was delicious and included a memorable parmigiana. The sauce was well-cooked, slowly, and the flavor was balanced (I always pay attention to this in every restaurant because, in my opinion, it's the foundation of cuisine). The first course was orecchiette with turnips, impeccably fragrant and with a bold, pleasant flavor. The second course will remain in my memory forever: a surreally soft stew accompanied by mashed potatoes made with extra virgin olive oil and beautifully prepared bitter chicory (bright color, crunchy texture). The authentic, simple, and balanced flavors, enhanced by the genuine Apulian produce, are the highlights that reach diners. The dessert is one of a kind; Indeed, reimagining a traditional product is not unusual; indeed, it's certainly possible. Mustazzolo becomes the base for a creamy and enveloping semifreddo, leaving cinnamon, cloves, and dark chocolate to finish. A delight for the palate.
Immediately after lunch, we moved into the village to visit the artisan and food markets. The tasting continued with well-chosen offerings that included almond biscuits, shortcrust pastry with jam, mulled wine, hot chocolate, Christmas infusion, nougat, dried fruit, and focaccia (with tomato or filled with turnips and caciocavallo cheese - an all-you-can-eat option). Everything was of the highest quality and had a flavor that was anything but predictable. Attention was paramount in every corner of the village, which became a place accessible to both adults and children (my Leonida had a great time in the playhouse).
The afternoon was enlivened by jugglers, characters evoking Christmas and, above all, tradition, engaging folk music, and dancing.
The scent of wood and hot drinks, the artisans who tell and evoke the simple life of the village, create a surreal and magical atmosphere that you take home with you, smiling and, above all, in your heart.
Thank you, Borgo Egnazia, and see you next time!

A beautiful venue. Top-notch service. Many thanks to Nikola. He was kind and attentive. It's a romantic setting. Perfect for a family getaway. The food is delicious. We tried the Prosecco option, but I didn't like it. But everything else was great. Try the olive oil ice cream.

The best part about having dinner here was going to the bar and walking the properties beforehand. The food was very good. The most beautiful property I have seen today and even walking to the restaurant felt like you’re walking old cities of Italy on their property that was completely private. We stumbled across a magic show for the kids on the way there this place was pure luxury and five stars. I would highly recommend.
