Our tour took us to see the Trabuco fishing that is done in the area. The fisherman cast out the nets and whatever is caught is served. Of course we ate some of the best appetizers imaginable. From razor clams, to sea urchin, shrimp, etc.
On our journey we continued to the
Porta di Bosso Restaurant. Food and Wine Magazine have hailed this chef for his culinary mastery and we were so honored to be able to meet him and enjoy his interpretation of what food means to him. If you click the link above, it will take you to his site to see where we ate and what type of culinary masterpieces he served us. This was an outstanding meal, from the squid ink ravioli stuffed with branzino, the white fish topped with potatoes, the monk fish bruschetta, the red snapper with honey, the blue fish cigadelli pasta... well a treat for certain to savor the bounty of the sea.
To paint the picture of his restaurant... we were 90 meters high off the cliffs overlooking the Adriatic Sea. We watched the scuba divers, the boats and the swimmers enjoying nature as it was intended. The fresh sea air just transported you to another dimension of appreciation for what we experienced. To say we all enjoyed ourselves is an understatement. To end such a wondrous experience, we sipped on limoncello.
Our tour continued on and took us to see the coastline once again around the town of Manfredonia. Then we ventured back to Orsara.
This trip is memorable in many ways, the new friends we have made that chose to travel with us from Cleveland to the family connection between our mother and her youngest brother. To see them laugh, enjoy in the land and town of their parents is so remarkable. The years seem to fade away and those family bonds are ever present.
