Restaurants & Bar

In Italy there is a saying ‘a tavola non s’invecchia’ or ‘you don’t become old sitting at the table with good friends and family.’ The kitchen is the heart of the home – and food is at the heart of everything.

At Masseria Le Mandorle food is our focus and the local, seasonal produce is House Chef Odette Fada’s passion. The gourmet breakfast and dinner buffets are served family style in the courtyard or in the cool barrel-vaulted dining room, and soon on the roof-terrace. Lunch by the pool? Just ask for the menu of mouth-watering panini and insalate from the bar…

Restaurant

The magnificent restaurant, under the 18th century vaulted ceiling, has whitewashed walls with stone-flagged floors and rustic wooden tables. The bespoke wrought iron lighting adds to the room’s grandeur as does the giant chimney where a log fire crackles in the grate during winter.

In summer it’s a cool spot for breakfast. Add an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven and open-air kitchen on the roof terrace for dining under the stars and menus celebrating Puglia’s cucina povera and you’ve got all the ingredients for gastronomic break.

“Food makes people happy, it takes you back home, it says so many things that words can’t say.”
Sophia Loren – "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: My Life"

Bar

From cappuccinos to cocktails by the pool with almonds of course, and local antipasti throughout the day, the bar is the place to hang out…
