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!

It has a diverse menu focused primarily on seafood. Bread is served when you sit down along with local olives and two kinds of local "snacks". The pasta with lobster sauce (12 euros), a house specialty, is literally one of the best things I've ever tasted! Reasonable prices, excellent service, and the proprietor graciously allowed me to sit undisturbed for hours after I finished my meal as I planned my travels and watched the turquoise sea crash against the rocks.
