Il Pinnacolo sits in the heart of the trulli district and offers straightforward Pugliese cooking without too many concessions to the tourist trade. The menu works through the regional staples: orecchiette, tiella di riso patate e cozze (rice, potato, and mussel bake), grilled meats. The ingredients are local and the portions are honest.
The setting — inside a trullo, with the rough stone walls and vaulted ceiling overhead — provides atmosphere that no decorator could fake. Book ahead if you are visiting in summer.
