Trattoria Terra Madre

Alberobello


Vegetables take pride of place in Italian kitchens, especially at this enthusiastic vegetarian-ish (some meat is served) restaurant. The farm-to-table ethos rules – most of what you eat comes from the organic garden outside. Start with the huge vegetable antipasti and save room for primi like capunti 'Terra Madre' (pasta with eggplant, zucchini and peppers) and the perfect house-baked desserts.

The same people run Charming Tours offering trulli accommodation, and food, cultural, historical, motorized and bicycle tours in the area.
