Cisternino

LoginSave

This charismatic little juice bar/lunch spot is the necessary counterbalance to the meaty excesses Cisternino is famous for. Market-fresh vegetables and herbs arrive each morning and are turned into soups, salads, torte, vegetarian sushi and more. There are some choices for carnivores, but for once it's they who are the afterthought. Organic wines and Italian craft beers complete the picture.

Events, performances and special lunches are occasionally held here – quite an achievement in such a tiny space.
