Dining
The specialities of our chefs can be tasted in the inner garden of the Palazzo Bozzi Corso, under the olive trees at La Fiermontina or by candlelight at the M.A.M.A Family Museum. Using carefully selected ingredients and daring bold and surprising combinations, the chefs prepare delicious traditional recipes as well as international dishes.
The Secret Garden
Every morning, Maria Carla, the Palazzo’s chef, picks herself the fruit and vegetables she needs to start cooking. She gathers all the ingredients and the products of her land and traditions, to share with her guests the secrets of her family recipes and offer them privileged culinary moments.
“A dinner is so much more than a list of ingredients. Every dish contains the elements of a story that can be written and told, and later savoured during a magical evening.” Maria Carla Pennetta, Chef at the Palazzo Bozzi Corso
“Thank you for yesterday’s evening at the Palazzo; it was perfect. We feel so privileged to have enjoyed such an exceptional and timeless moment.” Fatty and Fabrice Johannet, Paris & Marrakech
Anywhere you wish in the Palazzo, a breakfast, a candlelit dinner or a wine tasting await you, further enriched by such unexpected family history.
The Honesty Bar
Before a memorable dining experience, or after if you like, indulge in a delicious drink made in house by the expert hands of our bartender Jan.
Dining At La Fiermontina
The restaurant serves elevated interpretations of cucina povera, which can be eaten in the elegant main dining rooms or alfresco amid the olive and orange trees in the hotel’s walled garden.
The gastronomical options in Puglia region are especially rich and varied where only local, fresh products are used. A classic example of this is Puglia’s signature dish, orecchiette con le cime di rapa, pasta cooked with turnip greens.
