Magnifico Food Trip

Like many other regions in south Italy, the culinary tradition in Puglia is part of what we call “cucina povera:” recipes that are tasty but prepared with simple ingredients, easy to find everywhere.

To plunge into pasta making experience, there is no better place to start than in the city of Gragnano, home to gentle winds and ancient mills as well as home to the Cuomo family, artisan Pastai - pasta makers - since 1840. Magnifico team took the advice literally and went to visit this lovely pasta land, pleasantly guided by Alfonso and Amelia Cuomo, family third generation representatives.
