invites you to

'A Taste of Puglia'
Thursday, October 4th
7:00 p.m.

An often overlooked region of Italy, Puglia sits at the heel of the Italian boot surrounded by the Adriatic and to the gulf of Taranto. As food historian and cookbook author, Claudia Roden says " The cooking evokes an ancient past and distant lands." Her first experience of Pugliese food was 'ncapriata di fave', mashed fava beans with olive oil, which is exactly like a dish made in Egypt.

The extended coast line and coastal cities prospered through trade with the Near East and North Africa. The Arabs had a foothold in Puglia for a long time. The earliest, most powerful influence was Greek, they colonized the coast.

Puglia produces a fantastic flood of wine - more than any other region of Italy.

You will see all the above influences in Chef Fracasetti's menu for the evening. We hope you will join us at Pazza Luna Trattoria Italiano for the flavors of the food and wines from Puglia
