“Details make perfection and perfection is not a detail”, argued Leonardo Da Vinci.

The raw material, the taste, the elegance of a dish and a place are fundamental elements of excellent catering. But what makes these details perfect are the People who work for Orto il Ristorante, their smiles, their ideas and the art of hospitality.

Bread, Home made pasta and Cooking Class at Orto il Ristorante

Madia Barnaba

Everyone here call me the memory of the kitchen of Orto il Ristorante because I remember and tell the traditional dishes, those that bring back memories of moments lived in the “heart”of the house, in the kitchens of grandmothers, full of enveloping scents and exchange of chat and advice . Traditional cuisine, in my opinion, is the combination of the historicity of a dish and the “poor” raw material, or rather the authentic ingredient that the surrounding area produces.

When I put my hands in the dough during my day, it’s in that precise moment that I feel I am at home !!!”

Horticulturist at Orto il Ristorante

Nino Ricco

“Cultivating and harvesting is therapy for the soul. A good dish must also make you “feel good”. And the genuine and authentic raw material, linked to the generosity and care of the earth and respect for its slow rhythms, makes you feel good. The garden always gives you the same quality of attention and care that you have dedicated to it.

I take care of the restaurant’s vegetable garden every day.

Therefore, every day, I take care of our guests. ”

Aurelia Leone

“I’m Aurelia, an illustrator and artisan of terracotta “made in Puglia”, born at the beginning of spring and at the end of a Good Friday. From my father Pietro I inherited the love for art and the ability to work clay; from mom Lucia, the use of words and the ability to tell. Growing up I realized that by mixing the souls of my family, with my hands I could tell many stories thought, lived and listened to. My humanities and arts studies did the rest.

Today I have my own workshop in the historic center of Rutigliano, the Apulian Handicraft Warehouse or, in short, MAP: here I create terracotta objects, paintings and digital illustrations that tell, through different codes, shapes and colors, all the worlds that surround me.”

ELIA CALÒ AND BETTY LOCANE FROM IL GIARDINO SOTTO IL NASO

“Spontaneous herbs for wild cocktails: this is, in summary, the philosophy of Il Giardino sotto il Naso. An idea born from the meeting between a bartender and a travel advisor, which combines originality with knowledge of the territory and tradition, with the ultimate goal of enhancing wild products for the production of unique drinks. The idea is to use the great Apulian botanical heritage to produce unconventional drinks with an unmistakable scent “.
