Cooking is our way of telling the story of our land and our history, where wine and food become a bridge for meeting and sharing.
He is Giuseppe Conti, known to everyone as Pepè.
An outgoing, decisive and unpredictable chef with a Sicilian heart and a curious soul. His cooking is a meeting between his homeland and the land that welcomed him, Puglia, where tradition and creativity come together in every dish.
She is Vittoria Santoiemma, the welcoming face of the Trattoria. Pugliese at heart, she is the soul of the dining room: attentive to detail and hospitable by nature, she turns every visit into an experience to remember.
In 2013 their dream came true when they took over the historic Trattoria Pugliese, a place that is not just a restaurant but a home. Today, between Pepè’s cooking and Vittoria’s hospitality, the trattoria is a journey between past and present, between Sicily and Puglia.
Autumn brings with it the warmth of rich flavours and the bounty of the land. At Trattoria Pugliese we celebrate the season with ingredients that tell the story of our territory: fragrant mushrooms, seasonal vegetables, comforting legumes and full-flavoured meats.
Every dish embraces the colours and aromas of autumn, enhanced by soft, structured wines that are perfect partners for the season’s full flavours. Immerse yourself in the tastes of autumn.
Wine, like food, tells the story of a land and of the hands that work it. Every glass weaves together stories of vineyards, tradition and passion, transformed over time into unique aromas and flavours.
We select wines that express authenticity, giving space to native grape varieties and to producers who respect their land, without forgetting the finest Italian and international labels. Every bottle is a journey into the distinctive character of lands near and far.
Let us guide you to the wine that best accompanies your journey through taste.
There are places where time intertwines with the present, where memory becomes inspiration and the past becomes the future.
Trattoria Pugliese is the beating heart of tradition, the story of a land told through authentic flavours and time-honoured gestures. 1888 is its luminous shadow, its most contemporary reflection: a lounge bar where craftsmanship meets a gaze turned towards tomorrow, and the same passion takes on new forms.
Two different souls, united by the same essence: respect for ingredients, attention to detail, the value of time.
1888 is an experience to be lived.
