Il ristorante si trova in una vecchia dimora di caccia di Federico II, ristrutturata pur mantenendo le vecchie sembianze. Abbiamo cenato per il nostro anniversario e devo dire con molta sorpresa, era la prima volta, abbiamo trovato un accoglienza non usuale, ci hanno fatto trovare un bel tavolo addobbato per l'occasione, apprezzatissimo.
Michele, il proprietario oltre a raccontarci la storia del locale, ci ha illustrato tutte le portate, un valore aggiunto alla location e al menù. Ottimi i piatti, preparati con cura e con materie prime di qualità, ottimi anche i consigli su cosa scegliere da bere, in fine la sorpresa inaspettata, una torta preparata per la nostra ricorrenza, gentilmente offerta, che dire, tutto buono, un ben fatto a Michele e la moglie, ci ritorneremo senz'altro.

The restaurant is located in an old hunting lodge of Frederick II, renovated while maintaining its old appearance. We had dinner for our anniversary and I must say with great surprise, it was the first time, we found an unusual welcome, they made us find a beautiful table decorated for the occasion, much appreciated.
Michele, the owner, in addition to telling us the history of the restaurant, illustrated all the courses, an added value to the location and the menu. Excellent dishes, prepared with care and with quality raw materials, also excellent advice on what to choose to drink, finally the unexpected surprise, a cake prepared for our occasion, kindly offered, what can I say, all good, well done to Michele and his wife, we will definitely return.

Ristorante che esalta le materie prime del territorio grazie ad una cucina più innovativa di quelle che in genere si trova in zona (non a caso è nella Guida Michelin), che alcune volte sfocia in vere e proprie contaminazioni.
È questo il caso del bao (tipico panino al vapore della cucina orientale, che invece lo chef lacca in forno con acqua e miele dopo averlo fritto) riempito con il polpo alla luciana (ricetta nata nel borgo marinaro di Santa Lucia sul lungomare di Napoli).

Ma il piatto che più mi ha stupito è stato lo spaghetto al burro affumicato e limone con tartare di scampi. In un solo piatto i sapori più difficili da dosare: affumicato e limone. É un attimo sfociare nel troppo (che copre tutto)  o nel troppo poco (che non si sente). In questo caso un bilanciamento perfetto! Tornassi dieci volte, lo riprenderei undici.

Abbiamo poi assaggiato il crudo di pesce (freschissimo), tartare (molto abbondante come tutti i piatti, del resto), tagliatelle all'aragosta (mezza aragosta per piatto, non astice!).

Buono anche il chicco di tiramisu.

Selezione di vini di tutto rispetto: da quelli molto locali (abbiamo preso un bianco di Pisante di San Severo) a bollicine francesi di tutto rispetto.

Per la qualità e la quantità il prezzo è super, super onesto!

Restaurant that enhances the raw materials of the area thanks to a more innovative cuisine than those generally found in the area (it is no coincidence that it is in the Michelin Guide), which sometimes leads to real contaminations.
This is the case of the bao (typical steamed sandwich of oriental cuisine, which the chef instead lacquers in the oven with water and honey after having fried it) filled with Luciana-style octopus (recipe born in the seaside village of Santa Lucia on the seafront of Naples) .

But the dish that surprised me the most was the spaghetti with smoked butter and lemon with scampi tartare. In a single dish the most difficult flavors to measure: smoked and lemon. It takes a moment to end up with too much (which covers everything) or too little (which you can't feel). In this case a perfect balance! If I came back ten times, I would take it again eleven times.

We then tasted the raw fish (very fresh), tartare (very abundant like all the dishes, after all), tagliatelle with lobster (half a lobster per dish, not lobster!).

The tiramisu grain is also good.

Respectable selection of wines: from very local ones (we took a white from Pisante di San Severo) to very respectable French bubbles.

For the quality and quantity the price is super, super honest!
