Puglia is one of Italy’s most vibrant and beloved food regions, shaped by olive groves, wheat fields, and a long tradition of simple, deeply satisfying cooking. Known for bold flavours and rustic dishes inspired by the sun and the sea, meals here are built around a few good ingredients, shared slowly and generously.
This seated supper club brings the flavours of Southern Italy to the table, with a menu inspired by everyday Apulian cooking and the relaxed rhythm of a traditional Sunday lunch.
Antipasti
The meal begins with a selection inspired by the everyday table of Southern Italy. Focaccia Barese, soft and fragrant, served alongside burrata bruschetta, taralli, grilled vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives, simple, rustic flavours meant to be shared and enjoyed slowly.
Primo
Orecchiette con cime di rapa, the most iconic dish of Puglia. Hand-shaped pasta paired with tender rapini, prepared in the traditional way, balancing bitterness, olive oil, and depth of flavour. *Note: cime di rapa are seasoned with anchovy paste, therefore this dish is not vegetarian. Please specify any dietary restrictions or allergies when booking.
Orecchiette alla Barese, a true Sunday lunch staple in Puglia, topped with a slow-cooked tomato sauce and tender mixed meats.
Secondo
Grigliata mista pugliese, featuring Bombette pugliesi, juicy stuffed meat rolls cooked until tender and full of flavour, along with sausages, a beloved regional specialty and a highlight of Apulian home cooking.
Dessert
To finish, sporcamuss, a classic Apulian pastry filled with cream, light and indulgent, and the perfect sweet ending to the meal.
