Saporé In Gravina in puglia

We were passing through Gravina in Puglia and wanted to try the €20.00 per person menu at Trattoria "La Porcona," located inside Chef Salvatore Varvara's "Saporè" restaurant, which also hosts the legendary Rino Manada's "La Porcona" concept. The dishes vary daily. ​As an appetizer, we were served bruschetta with pickled peppers, toasted bread with extra virgin olive oil, and a terrine of beans with pork rinds. This was followed by two appetizers of first courses (orecchiette with creamed fava beans and chicory, strozzapreti with creamed peppers and sausage), baked capocollo gratinated with cardoncelli mushrooms, a soft drink each, sorbet, and coffee. ​Friendly staff, a casual setting, and excellent value. Next time, I'll add photos of the dishes, which, by the way, are beautifully plated.

We went to lunch with a colleague, the atmosphere was nice, I didn't know it... I trusted the reviews... unfortunately the most recent one is from 1 year ago... the fixed menu was very basic even if I have to say it was good... I wanted to make a good impression on my colleague... but I wasn't satisfied... a canteen... but I have to say everything was average to good... at the price I give 20 euros each... I was hoping to go à la carte... but I noticed that not even the bitters on request after lunch were available, a real shame... simple dishes that I normally make at home... I was hoping for something more refined to make a good impression on my colleague

Passing through Gravina...found this place by chance and were welcomed very well. The food was of excellent quality and a tasting of many very appreciated samples. Thank you. If we find ourselves in these parts again we will definitely return.
