Tradition/Innovation
Puglia

Al Fornello da Ricci

In the summer, there’s a relaxing garden; in the winter, the cosy rooms perfectly balanced between elegance and rustic authenticity. This is how for decades the Ricci family has been welcoming guests to their restaurant, where their consistent approach to tradition is a guarantee of expertise and becomes the celebration of a ritual.

The fried meatballs served as a welcome are unique and delicious. The local region, with its excellent raw materials, has a main role in the following courses too. Try the Sagne incannulate with white ragù sauce made with pork pancetta and chopped vegetables and courgette flowers.
