Al Vecchio Casello B&B - Trattoria Pizzeria - Prodotti Tipici Pugliesi — Restaurant in Cerignola

The price (€9 per pasta plate), considering where this place is and what it is, was expensive in my view. Maybe it’s the summer months, but earlier this year I ate in a trattoria in Taranto city paying €15 for fixed menu (first and second course, 1/4 litre of wine...
