"Sometimes in today's kitchens, taken from making an extremely porn-cool dish with perverse geometries, we forget the cooking of our grandmothers, in which the only message they tried to communicate with their dishes was CONVIVIALITY and TRADITION"
Francesco Montaruli

Phytoalimurgy is defined as the knowledge of the use of plant species and wild herbs for food purposes
In Puglia, the brothers Francesco and Vincenzo Montaruli who defend the biodiversity of the territory of the Apulian Murgia are skilled lovers, gathering the fruits of the earth during the day and transforming them into precious evening tastings.

Wild asparagus, dirt, fresh broad beans, garlic flowers, pimpinella, radish leaves, artichokes ...
Very ancient flavors, I would say lost and now unknown, belonging to the peasant civilization of the past, recovered and interpreted in an innovative and fresh way.

Mezza Pagnotta is a unique gastronomic journey, an experience to do in our fascinating and rural Puglia.
Each dish is a pleasant surprise, never banal in the combinations of flavors, textures and colors.
