«BROS' cambia pelle», the Michelin-star restaurant
from Salento reopens
Interview with Floriano Pellegrino and Isabella Potì

BROS’ has never been just a restaurant. Since its opening in 2016, in the heart of Lecce, the project by Floriano Pellegrino and Isabella Potì – partners in life and in the kitchen – has established itself as a reality capable of breaking the mold of classic dining. In just two years, it earned the first Michelin star in Salento, but for the two chefs, this achievement was never a goal: it was rather the natural consequence of a relentless pursuit of excellence, without compromise. «When we opened BROS’», says Floriano, «we didn’t think of luxury in the traditional sense. We wanted a radical, instinctive experience, truly outside the box.» Yet, their cuisine ended up redefining the very idea of fine dining. For Isabella, luxury is not just about caviar and champagne: «If you push excellence, you inevitably reach luxury, but without turning it into a cage. Now we want to bring this idea to a context where time, space, and taste become elements of a more immersive experience.»
