Salento flavoursin a 16th-centuryolive mill.

Salento cuisine and celebrations under the stone vaults of an ancient farmhouse in Galatina, Puglia.

In Salento a trappeto is the ancient hypogeum olive mill carved into the stone.

The stone millstone of the olive mill, with its two wheels and the arches of the hypogeum hall

Five centuries of history,
two ancient olive mills.

Our restaurant lives within the walls of a 16th-century building in Galatina that housed two of them: two millstones and two crews of workers milling olives underground.

The hypogeum hall with round tables laid, the old millstone and the chandelier of lights

Hypogeum hall

Today the hypogeum hall, with its barrel vault, welcomes our guests: Lecce stone, warm lights and the Salento cooking we have always done, with a few variations of our own.

The Arches Hall laid for a reception, between stone pillars and curtains open onto the greenery

Arches Hall

Upstairs, under the wooden beams, between stone pillars and arches. For lunches, imperial-table dinners and parties.

The stone courtyard with wrought-iron tables, amphorae and the outside staircase

Courtyard

When evening falls, the courtyard comes alive: live music and DJ sets among the olive trees and stone arches.

The spaces

The venue has several independent rooms, plus the outdoor courtyard, and every event has its own reserved hall.
