We stayed in a lovely hotel in Alberobello for 3 nights. One evening we went to a local family home for dinner in the countryside.
It was a fabulous evening. We entered through huge wrought iron gates into the courtyard which had been set up with long tables for us to dine at. The family came out to greet us. Four generations of the family. Nonna then showed us how she makes Orriechetti pasta which is truly an art form.

We then sat down to homemade anti pasto, followed by Nonna’s
Orriechetti pasta, then chicken and potatoes and veg from the garden. Followed by fruit from their fruit trees. Plenty of wine, pear juice from their trees
and to complete the meal limoncello of course.
Towards the end of the evening they took us through the house to
the open rooftop terrace for fabulous views of the surrounding countryside.
