Bros' Trattoria

Restaurant€€€€3.0 km

Sharing its entrance with the Relais Villa San Martino, the car park leads to a cluster of romantic trulli surrounded by a small vineyard. The kitchen is entrusted to the Pellegrino-Potì duo from the nearby gourmet restaurant, yet here it is tradition that holds sway: dishes rich in flavour, often cooked in the wood-fired oven, with a menu that changes frequently to follow the freshness of the season and the market. A straightforward and satisfying offering that honours ancient techniques and the produce of the territory within a setting of great rural charm.

Founded in 1969 by Martino Marsella, the restaurant has its roots in the tradition of the Apulian butcher’s shop with grill, of which it became a natural gastronomic extension. To this day the management remains firmly in family hands and meat continues to occupy a central role on the menu, as the excellent breaded capocollo readily attests. Alongside these, freshly harvested vegetables, drawn in part from the family’s own kitchen gardens, find their place, together with a generous procession of antipasti and first courses frequently entrusted to fresh pasta, such as the riccioli sampled durin

At Nina Trulli Resort, nestled in one of the most enchanting areas of the Puglian countryside, among dry stone walls and typical vegetation, you can reconnect with nature. Walking through the restaurant's gardens and orchards is an inspiring experience. The focus on plant-based elements is also reflected in the kitchen: there are two tasting menus – one entirely green, while the other, despite including animal products, also highlights vegetables as the main feature.
