We are truly delighted to have been portrayed with such care and attention, and to see the passion that Ermanno Simone and Francesco Mameli put into our kitchen every day recognized. A heartfelt thank you to Vincenzo Rizzi for capturing and sharing, on Pugliosità, our philosophy and the enthusiasm that inspires the entire team at Palazzo Tafuri and Tafuri Restaurant.
« … two chefs who have learned to apply sophisticated techniques from international cuisine—French cuisine in particular—to seasonal ingredients that largely come from the Apulian region. Their names are Ermanno Simone and Francesco Mameli….… firmly established in the kitchen of Palazzo Tafuri, they reject the title of executive chef, preferring instead the more modest and humble term “cook.” Perhaps this is because both of them enjoy creating ever-new dishes, and together with a very small team, they personally take care of everything, with admirable enthusiasm and inexhaustible energy. »
