A bit of history… from the Trulli… to the Trulletto.

It is in Apulia (the Heel of Italy) on the road connecting Bari to Taranto, especially in the village of Alberobello, that visitors discover the region of the Trulli, constructions dating back to the Middle Ages. They are recognized by their cone-shaped roofs, built dry by stacking stones one on top of the other.
The Trulli appeared in Italy a few centuries before Christ; they were imported by colonizing tribes from the Middle East. The most recent ones are built with mortar and feature windows, doors, and openings connecting the dwellings.
The "cannelles" (rounded stones forming the building's framework, used to construct the vaults) were topped by a cylindrical stone, the "chiave" (key). The whole was covered with circles of limestone stones called "chiancole", stacked on top of each other and very steeply inclined to prevent any water infiltration.
At the top, to close the last circle, a decorative pinnacle was placed. Inside, the walls are so thick (1.50 m) that "alcoves" (niches housing bedrooms) were carved into them.

Il Trulletto

At the beginning of the century, Gianni Firenze, who once lived in Alberobello (the village of the Trulli), decided to create a restaurant serving typical dishes from southern Italy as well as dishes specific to his hometown. This is what he did on June 14, 2001, helped by his sister-in-law Carmela Fragapane and the chef Casciaro Fausto. Wanting to do things properly, he brought in a craftsman from Alberobello to build the pizza oven, shaped like a small Trullo or Trulletto, with authentic stones from a Trullo under restoration. On August 1, 2003, Carmela Fragapane and Casciaro Fausto took over the restaurant and continue to run it to this day. You will find a wide menu that will introduce you to typical dishes respecting the tradition of Italian cuisine as well as inventive and intuitive dishes and suggestions made with quality products and cooked "to order," along with a wide selection of quality Italian wines, digestifs, and grappa. If you want to discover a restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, reflecting through its decoration, pizza oven, and specialties the history of Alberobello and its Trulli just a jump from Charleroi airport, you are all welcome. No pizza on Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday.
