Situated within Borgo Egnazia, one of the most exclusive and luxurious resorts in the region (and further afield), this restaurant is home to chef Domingo Schingaro who showcases typical Puglian cuisine by placing vegetables centre stage. Working with local growers and often using heritage varieties, the chef creates an array of dishes, making the most of every single part of his ingredient in order to reduce food waste. His elegant presentations and intense flavours are sure to win you over, even if you’re not vegetarian. Attentive, welcoming and friendly service completes the picture.
WebsiteThis restaurant run by Luca Trabalzini and his partner Rossella is a real gem in the small town of Fasano. Their story, which began in Australia, adds a fascinating touch to this gastronomic project. The atmosphere here is warm and lively, making this the perfect setting in which to enjoy the chef’s innovative cuisine, which he showcases on three distinct menus dedicated to meat, fish and vegetarian dishes respectively. Luca’s cuisine is modern and elegant, with particular attention paid to flavours and textures so that each and every dish offers a fully rounded sensorial experience.
WebsiteAt 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.
