The professionalism of the school is guaranteed by its chefs and their twenty years experience in traditional Salento restaurants, where there is sometimes lack of innovation, creativity and improvisation. Menus and dishes are personalized according to the different dietary requirements and made of seasonal ingredients, especially those coming from the garden where, depending on the season, it's possible to collect fruits together.
Standard menu:
- Fresh pasta: choose between orecchiette, tria, minchiareddhi, sagne 'ncannulate, tortelli, ravioli etc. Seasoning for pasta is chosen from the sauces of the chef
- Traditional Salento cake: choose between pasticciotto, pitteddhe, panzerotti, almond paste and jam tart
- Appetizer or vegetable side dish (according to the season)
