In the Salento Guide 2025 – the guide to the best restaurants in Salento – Barbara Politi shares her impressions: “a return to simplicity, not as a passing trend, but a true ethical and sensory approach that celebrates nature, sustainability, and authentic taste. The philosophy of the Tafuri Restaurant is based on three fundamental pillars: the freshness of ingredients, with daily or extremely fresh products, not industrially processed or long-preserved; seasonality, as following the seasons means accompanying the natural rhythm of the earth: just as with zucchini in summer, pumpkin in autumn, artichokes in winter, and strawberries in spring.”
And what about the chefs at the helm? Barbara Politi writes about our chefs: “a duo that looks far beyond Salento. Originating from Salento, Francesco Mameli and Ermanno Simone form a passionate and dynamic duo. Young and talented, the chefs have interpreted local cuisine through an open dialogue with the diverse flavors of the Mediterranean, creating a blend that fuses a connection to tradition and a love for experimentation.”
