Minnamoro In Altamura

30/03/2025: If you walk 2-3 minutes to the left along the main street before entering the Trulli Zone in Alberobello, you will see it on your right. This is a representative restaurant in Puglia that continued to receive one Michelin star for many years until a few years ago. Recently, the restaurant has been divided into a Ristorante and an Osteria, and you can choose whichever you prefer. At the Osteria, you can enjoy traditional Puglia dishes such as orecchiette in a casual setting, and at the Ristorante, you can enjoy traditional Puglia dishes with a modern twist. Of particular note is the wine, which boasts one of the best collections in Italy. Definitely a restaurant worth visiting in Alberobello. They are understanding of Japanese people and the service is excellent! The photo shows Cima di rapa (rapeseed blossom) ravioli, one of the courses at the Ristorante, and Cima di rapa orecchiette at the Osteria. There are two entrances in the same building, so choose whichever you prefer. There are much fewer Japanese people in Alberobello than there used to be. This is a rare restaurant that is just right for Japanese tastes and stomach capacity.

21/03/2025: I don't usually leave reviews, but this restaurant deserves it. A perfect union between traditional and classic products, a good wine list and excellent desserts. We had grilled scamorze, local cheeses and capocollo di Martina Franca with burrata, and then continued with the historic and wonderful bombette made here to perfection. Folk atmosphere, from the flooring to the choice of tables, to the chandeliers and details here and there on the walls, which make it very much a tavern for travellers.
