With the advent of the health emergency, we ran into the need to necessarily change our work, looking for ways that would allow us to get customers not only products, but also our warmth. We could not improvise the takeaway and home deliveries, not without first having planned everything and this is the reason why we did not start immediately, but we waited weeks and remodeled the offer, in a way enriching it. As usual

«We also added a selection of wines made by Pietro to the dishes, which will often vary to allow regular customers to order different labels. With the Orecchiette we suggest you to sip Tenute Rubino's Negroamaro. We want to stay deliberately in the Apulian territory, for a wine with soft hints of red fruit and distinctly spicy, characteristic of the grape .
