Già sotto l'arco is a place of enchantment, a restaurant in an 18th-century palace in the pristine town of Carovigno in Puglia.

A place with timeless charm, this restaurant is like a shell of poetry that encompasses the artistry of a family that has been captivating hearts since 1982 with a carefully crafted blend of art, culture, solid roots, passion, and love.

Già sotto l'arco is the creation of Teresa Galeone and Teodosio Buongiorno, artisans and interpreters of a profoundly personal culinary magic that straddles the border between tradition, creativity, and refinement.

Restaurant

An ethical, religiously seasonal, intelligent, and elegantly unadorned cuisine, just like Chef Teresa Galeone herself.
The culinary proposal of Già sotto l'arco is instinctive, almost primal, and inextricably linked to the generous land that hosts it.

Completing the exceptional gastronomic experience is the wine cellar.
Five hundred or more labels, personally selected by Teodosio Buongiorno, with a particular focus on Apulian wineries, representing a territorial taste tradition that embraces every aspect.
