01 / The masseriaA story since the 17th century

Since the 17th century,
still open.

In the Parco di Torcito, at Cannole, the old Masseria Piccinna is a 17th-century Salento masseria: the courtyards, the stone vaults and the original spaces are still the ones from that time.

Today that story carries on around a table, between those who come for dinner in Salento and those who choose these spaces to celebrate.

The story of Masseria Piccinna ↗︎

Salento cooking,
from the land and the sea.

Hand-made orecchiette, traditional pittule and fritters, Adriatic fish, octopus in the pignata and a list of Apulian wines. You eat under the stone vaults or outside, in the courtyard.
