Crossing the threshold of our trullo, a true Traditional trattoria in Martina Franca, means leaving behind the daily rush. The thick, rough stone of the walls tells ancient stories. We at Bros’ work every day to recreate this exact feeling. Our doors open into a genuine environment. The pace of the meal slows down to follow the rhythm of Apulian relaxation.
Where are we located? Just minutes from the baroque center: on the SS172
Our location is exactly on the SS172 at number 61, in the province of Taranto. This position offers a rare tranquility. We are just a few minutes from the beautiful baroque city center. Our guests easily find space to park. It is the natural refuge after a walk through the historic alleys and ancient palaces. The noise of traffic fades away behind the dry stone walls.
The land decides the menu: zero-mile ingredients and dishes of the day
A typical trattoria in Martina Franca relies on total respect for the raw ingredients. Our idea is based on a clear rule. We currently do not have a fixed menu that stays the same all year. The land and the zero-mile harvests decide the dishes of the day. We carefully select every single ingredient. Local meats dominate the scene with slow cooking at the fornello. Preparing the original Apulian bombette is a ritual for us. The flavor of fresh meat blends with the texture of homemade bread.
Authentic flavors: from Capocollo to fresh pasta
The meal always begins with the excellences of our territory. The Capocollo of Martina Franca is never missing from our tables. It is the most representative cured meat of the area, with a slightly smoked aroma and an unmistakable taste. Right after come the handmade fresh pastas. Every bite tells the story of work in the fields and the ancient wisdom of our grandmothers.
Local wine and good olive oil
An Apulian meal always requires the right glass. Our cellar holds the most representative labels of the Itria Valley and Salento. A glass perfectly accompanies the meats cooked at the fornello. For those who prefer more delicate flavors, the local white wines offer the ideal freshness. Homemade bread dipped in our extra virgin olive oil eases the wait between one course and the next. Our dining room staff is always ready to suggest the best pairing for the dishes of the day.
The dishes of our tradition
Besides the famous Apulian bombette, our embers burn to prepare abundant grills of local meat. We work the fresh pasta by hand to honor the ancient recipes of the territory. We respect the timing of traditional cooking. Seasonal vegetables and legumes indeed require slow and patient cooking.
The ideal space for family tables or dinners for two
The cone architecture of our trullo naturally creates different spaces. The stone niches become intimate alcoves for couples looking for a quiet dinner. At the same time, the larger areas welcome tables of tourists, groups of friends, and families. Sharing food is the foundation of Apulian hospitality. Everyone finds their own corner of peace under the ancient vaults.
Eating inside a trullo is a physical experience, not just a visual one. The thickness of the stone guarantees a perfect climate in every season. Summer offers a natural freshness that is unexpected to those who enter. Winter, on the other hand, retains the warmth of the rooms. The special acoustics under the cone vault muffle the noises. Sitting at our table requires the desire to take one’s time. We reject the logic of a rushed meal. Conviviality is the main ingredient of our welcome.
