A very sunny spring morning. People chit chatting. - "Please, what do you like?" Asks the girl at the counter: "Oh man! It takes me by surprise! I begin to hastily read the menu: tuna tartare, fried octopus, cicadas, prawns and fried mussels?! ?? I am starving but I just can't decide ... "I leave it to chef Lucio", I answer firmly. And that's how in a moment I find myself with a huge sandwich, but what do I say? A delicious piece of bread ... with an unheard of crunchiness and sea flavour in my mouth, which tastes like Polignano, which tastes like Puglia: salmon tartare, fresh ricotta, artichoke salad, mint pesto and almonds. Time to finish the last order and Chef Lucio, who sits next to me, on one of those stools outside Pescaria. In Polignano, it seems that time has stopped, that people still linger to enjoy a good sandwich, in good company before returning to work or simply before returning to the beach :) Chef Lucio begins to tell me a little about Pescaria and those two Monelli brothers (so affectionately called :)) He tells me about the simple but not trivial idea of Domingo and Bartolo, one passionate about marketing and communication, the other lover of the sea and its sea food, fishmonger, precisely, and together they decided to start a project. A project made of simplicity, of fresh products, of a product that can be enjoyed anywhere, by the sea, in the office, on one of the stools of Pescaria or on the steps of the neighbor's house that you know, is already annoyed even before you can sit for worried about you leaving trash. Chef Lucio tells me his idea with his eclectic and whimsical way, in which authenticity and originality come together to enclose Puglia in one bite. Chef Lucio talks endlessly ... and I try to listen to his stories but when he mention his young age I can't take it anymore and ... I just let myself be transported biting that delicious bread and its immense flavors with a good glass of white wine Good lunch to all!
