Buon Appetito!

 

Aside from the classical pasta and pizza, the south of Italy has a lot to offer in terms of food.
Here is a little compilation of the delicious things I saw and/or ate recently…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the order:

 

The chefs working hard in the rosticceria “Zio Pietro” in the lovely village of Cisterninio. The concept of this kind of restaurant which is very popular in Cisterninio, is that you choose your fresh uncooked meet at the counter. And then they will cook it in their oven for you… I would recommend to go there early as the people are coming from all areas to eat meat there. Obviously, Vegeterians, please stay away from these restaurants, not only you will see meat everywhere but also they have just one green salad accompanying all the dishes.

 

The only thing I didn’t ate from those pictures, but it looks delicious doesn’t it?

 

An olive tree like this one will produce the little brown olives which are commonly served before the meals in aperitifs.

 

The “Bocconotti” from the caffé bar Florien in Martina Franca, which can be filled with either Nutella, cream, or cherries, great for breakfast! They also have amazing ice cream!

Delicious roasted potatoes from “Il Sagittario” in Martina Franca, were I ate the best steak of my life, deliciously cooked in a traditional oven

 

The Italian way to end a meal…

 

The Fico d’India…

 

Buon appetito everyone 😉
