Gravina Food and Wine
It offers a range of typical food and wine products that are now part of the local culture and around which much interest is observed. Dishes that are unique and wholesome in the culinary genre including Verdeca di Gravina, a local white wine with a sweet-frizzing aftertaste produced in the Gravina countryside (I recommend mashing it up with Sassanelli sweet dry pastries typical of the area and booking your tasting or all those available from MURGIANDO the network of local farms capable of offering the best flavors of the Murgia.

The Pallone di Gravina, a semi-hard cow's milk cheese that has become a Slow Food Presidium and is in the running for PDO, is not to be missed. I tasted the one from the
Caseificio De Rosa e del Caseificio Tarantino)
Soppressata, Pizzintella, Ventresca, Marri among the meats. Finally many baked goods starting with the Sasanello gravinese, a vin cotto cookie, the Tarallo and Rucc'l the Focaccia di San Giuseppe; (Pay attention. For me it was addictive and my favorite so far is the one from the Panificio Pani e Dolci di Conca a Gravina. It is sold only to order and costs an average of 30 euros per kg. Onion raisins capers tuna and anchovy) delicious local Bread also.
Local dishes include Calariello (a mixture of Murgia vegetables and lamb), Calzoni (dough filled with ricotta cheese, sugar, cinnamon, and grated lemon peel, served with gravy (my partner's favorite to eat with gravy and cheese, but filled with sweet and sour ricotta cheese, are from the pasta maker San Giorgio di Gravina which competes with those of Buona Massa) the Pane cotto, a mixture of vegetables and stale bread, ( the homemade one seems to be the best, everyone makes it better than the others of course. At the restaurant, I encourage you to try the one from Osteria Sant'Agostino which is prepared in the homemade tradition). the Sweet Pepper Compote (a preserve of sweet peppers cut into small pieces).
A journey within a journey, that of the typical products and delicacies of Gravinese cuisine.

Somewhat defiladed from the city center, when I'm in the area around here, I come there for breakfast with freshly baked hot focaccia. Almost as good as my favorite that I eat in Monopoli. Here I have tasted the RUCC'L which in my opinion is the best in the area. Reservations should be made at least 2 g in advance.
Arrosticcio Braceria
This is my regular stop when I want to eat meat in Gravina. The display counter is small, but it has all the cuts of meat that Francesco cooks for you at the moment. The bombette is great but so is the beef cut and the chef's offerings.
