Rosalba de Carlo, a noted repository of Salento gustatory wisdom, is the presiding authority in this authentic-as-it gets Pugliese kitchen. 'The Two Courts' keeps it strictly seasonal and local, dishing up classics such as ciceri e tria (crisply fried pasta with chickpeas) and turcineddhi (offal of kid) in a relaxed, traditional restaurant environment.
