Angelo Sabatelli

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine, Creative

In the maze of picturesque alleys of the historic center, housed in a 16th-century building with an elongated dining room under a vaulted stone ceiling, are a few tables and a fireplace. This is Angelo Sabatelli's niche, featuring his refined cuisine woven with Apulian inspirations and personal creativity. In the dining room, his son Daniele, an excellent sommelier, will guide you through one of the most extraordinary wine cellars in the region, spanning two volumes with approximately three thousand labels.

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Apulian

Set within the evocative surroundings of a fourteenth-century masseria, nestled within a park of centuries-old trees, this venue presents one of the most interesting gastronomic experiences in the Puglian countryside near Polignano. At the time of our visit, the menu takes the form of a single tasting menu available in five or seven courses, through which Michele Spadaro interprets the flavours of regional tradition with creative verve. We are told that a more accessible option for the interior dining room is also forthcoming, designed for guests spending longer in this setting of great allure
