"Nonna" Cuisine: going back to the roots
With the project “Puglia Food & Wine Experiences,” Linda Di Somma pays homage to the Apulian tradition, that of grandmothers, made of simple dishes and respect for the land.
A philosophy that blends the best of old-fashioned recipes with a modern and personal touch, to rediscover the flavors and traditions that make this land extraordinary, transforming every dining experience into a journey of culture, taste and authenticity.
Hospitality at the table, love for one’s work and authenticity of ingredients: values that Linda inherited from her grandmother.
Memories of days spent harvesting olives to produce oil, of tomatoes hung for winter sauces, of ancient recipes and real flavors, have inspired her mission: to return to her roots through authentic and genuine cuisine. In Puglia, food is not just nourishment, but a sensory experience that speaks of culture, family and tradition. This project was created to immerse you in a world of unique flavors, scents and emotions through personalized services with attention to detail.
