La Fossa del Grano

About

La Fossa del Grano is a family‑owned Puglian trattoria nestled on Via Minuziano 63 in the historic town of San Severo, Southern Italy. Since 1997 it has carried on the tradition of authentic Puglian cuisine, marrying simple, seasonal ingredients with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The menu changes daily to reflect the freshest local produce, from hand‑made fresh pasta and hearty ragu to succulent seafood brought in from the Adriatic. Guests can begin their culinary journey with a variety of antipasti, such as a buttery baguette topped with smoked salmon, marinated tuna tartare, and flavoursome chickpea crostini. Main courses showcase both “terra” (land‑based) and “mare” (sea‑based) dishes—think grilled filetmi, risotto ai frutti di mare, and traditional ragù made with locally sourced pork and tomatoes. For those with a sweet tooth, the dessert selection offers delicate pastries, homemade gelato, and seasonal fruit, all served at modest prices. The restaurant’s intimate, rustic décor and open‑fire kitchen create a convivial dining experience that encourages conversation and relaxation. While the place does not offer on‑site table reservations, guests are encouraged to call the restaurant’s phone number to secure a table in advance. The friendly staff, who speak both Italian and English, are happy to provide menus, recommend daily specials, and ensure that each visit feels like a cozy meal shared with family and friends.
