If you happen to go to Brindisi, in Puglia drive to the town of San Pancrazio Salentino to experience the real Puglian culture. Aribri restaurant is a gem serving wonderful fresh artisan dishes. My late father was born in this town in 1939 and moved to London in the 50’s but every year would go back home and for the last 20 years we have been having dinner at Aribri owned and managed by Salvatore who is also the chef. On our last night we had our favourites Brushetta, mussels, grill calamari, octopus, pasta Scoglio and seasonal vegetables as well a tasty pizza 4 seasons.
The previous visit we slept at the B&B he also runs just 5 minutes away from the restaurants and is absolutely perfect and very reasonable and comfortable accommodated our family of 8.
This visit we stayed at a hotel in nearby Porto Cesareo as we attend a family wedding but it’s only a 25 minutes drive from the beach to the town
Locale che offre molti prodotti tipici della cucina pugliese. Abbiamo mangiato delle ottimo frise e dei buoni fritti come antipasto. Poi molto buoni i viveri e tria e le fave con cicoria.
