Le Masserie Zucaro

What a fascinating historical context: the Swabian castle is right in front of the restaurant, the dining rooms, on two levels, are also within period walls, and finally there is the possibility, when the weather permits, to eat on a panoramic terrace from which you can also see the famous bell tower of Trani cathedral (as well as a table set up in a small room used as a wine cellar for dining among the bottles).

An extraordinary representation of rural Apulia, here you will find one of the region's gastronomic excellences. The array of mainly vegetable starters, the fresh pastas combined with extraordinary ragùs, the fabulous meats (especially the capocollo and sausage) and the desserts (especially the “quasi cassata”) live up to the name the restaurant has built up since opening in 1993. Often sold out, we recommend making a reservation, even well in advance.

Quintessentially Apulian restaurant, beginning with its ambiance: a sequence of rooms excavated within the rock of ancient Aragonese walls. The cuisine is equally inspired by local traditions, encompassing cardoncelli mushrooms, burnt wheat orecchiette, and cheeses from the Murgia hills, to name a few, with almost exclusively meat dishes along with vegetarian options and delightful sweets.

A characteristic and pleasant atmosphere reminiscent of an enoteca wine bar introduces one of the most intriguing culinary offerings in the area. If seeking the most typical Apulian products, this is your address!

A corner of traditional Apulia to be experienced in a trattoria in the centre, in a typical and pleasantly homely atmosphere. The dishes are listed verbatim, not to be missed are the series of starters, but also the characteristic fresh pastas.

In the heart of the historic center, this charming restaurant welcomes guests between a cool outdoor terrace and an evocative dining room created in a natural cave. The cuisine celebrates local traditions, with occasional forays into seafood. In the evening, the offering also includes pizzas, made with three different doughs: the classic Neapolitan, the thin and crispy “Papà Luigi”, and the one with vegetable charcoal. Surrounding the restaurant, simply furnished yet well-maintained guest rooms in the style of a scattered hotel complete the experience.

The owners' smiling welcome immediately puts customers at their ease, in a very pleasant contemporary tavern setting with light colours and vaulted ceilings. The Inspector recommends: codfish mantecato with walnut bread, bell pepper cream and caper mayonnaise; risotto with broad beans, hairy mussels and pecorino cheese from Foggia.
