L'aratro is tucked inside the streets, we decided on this restaurants as they are recognized by Michelin. We are glad to be trying this authentic local restaurant. Flavors that are so different from other parts of Italy! We tried the different anti pasta, which is served on multiple plates, small bite sized tasting. I can't tell you what each dish was, but can say they each had its own flavor. Several different cheeses, a bacon wrapped cheese, a polenta-like biscuit. For entrees, we tried a mixed grill meats (arrosto misto, with bombette - all local pork, seafood with wheat (grano con frutti di mare), and a cavetellucci. For dessert, also tried a very local dish with fried figs and a tart made of wine. The flavors are all so different. Certainly a must try if you get to come to Alberobello!

I'd been wanting to try the puréed fava bean with chicory since it's a regional specialty and so we got it to start and it was delicious--warm, comforting, delicate flavors. One of the better dishes I've had in Puglia. I also knew that orchiette was a specialty of the region--particularly the darker buckwheat variety cooked with braised greens, so I ordered that. It didn't disappoint. It was toothsome and had a great earthy flavor. The staff was pleasant. We waited out a rainstorm then dashed to our car. Great way to cap off the trip to Alborobello!

Walking around the Piazza Sacramento, in Alberobello (Bari) - Puglia - Italy the sights, sounds and…read moresmells are wonderful. We are touring this week in "The Boot" of Italy as I've never been this south on this mainland. We've been hitting the dining part of this trip really hard and respectfully. Tonight's dinner was exceptional and far beyond anything I've ever had before. Trattoria E Orti Terra Madre had so many "Good Things" going on that everything they did was flawless! First and foremost, the team these superb owners put together was astounding. It was like watching a championship team in any sport getting "The Trophy" for excellence - I mean they were terrific. Their rhythm, accommodation and polished etiquette was really special. I thought they were the stars of this show.......until the food started coming out. This restaurant is heavy vegetarian and it was a welcomed relief for me and my wife cascading through southern Italy. First and foremost Terra Madre has a huge plot of land that's growing their own produce / garden right in the middle of their restaurant; this sliver of land would be the envy of any farmer in the world (see my attached pix). This alone should be enough to conclude this review; but what they do with their produce would and should belong in a Michelin Starred restaurant. Each one of our six prix fixe vegetarian dishes were outstanding. I'd love to name each one of these dishes, and what they were, but the translation of all of the complex ingredients would take hours. We had one meat dish which was which was a pork neck cooked very slowly and was magnificent. Finding a restaurant this good is just pure luck as they are in a small town with no advertising. Terra Madre will definitely go into me and my wife's Top Ten restaurants we've eaten at the 33 years we've been doing this.

You get to dine in a Trullo, so you have the experience factor. The food was good, the mozzarella in the Caprese Salad is better than you can get in most places in the US, but pretty standard for Italy. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce was good, but not anything I would classify as amazing. The service was friendly and quick, and if you need a bit of a break while touring around, it's as good of a place as any to stop in.

The who place is a little too brightly lit for our taste, but we found that to be true all over Italy. The slow cooked egg, served in a cracked ceramic egg, served with black truffle and almond foam was a standout. I also loved the "olive oil" menu. You could taste, pick (and pay for) a bottle of olive oil to have with your meal. We purchased one, used it during dinner and then took it with us to use for the rest of our trip! Our waiter was very excited to talk with us because he had spent a year working in an Italian restaurant in San Francisco. And the chef came out to meet everyone, and when we told him we had been in Le Marche, he shared that a friend of his lost his restaurant in those horrible rains we had (Sept 2022.) A bunch of chef friends from all over Italy are going to get together in the off-season to see if they can help him rebuild. A great experience with unique & tasty food.
