At Palmina by Puglia, they take pride in crafting each dish with love, using locally sourced ingredients and time-honored recipes passed down through generations. From homemade pasta and savory braciola to delightful finger foods that evoke the essence of Italy. The menu reflects the essence of Puglian gastronomy.
Antipasta: Start with a classic like bruschetta, prosciutto with burrata, or the caprese salad with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Various salads are available based on what is in season. They also have a minestrone soup.
Pasta: All your classics like spaghetti, rigatoni, and tortellini. There are three vegetarian spaghetti options.
