La Bettola di Pericle
tradition and flavor in the heart of Specchia
In the heart of Specchia’s old town, amid exposed stone and the aroma of the grill, La Bettola di Pericle was born: a traditional Salento trattoria that brings together a passion for meat and the honest flavors of home cooking. Every dish here tells the story of a family that has passed down the art of butchery and hospitality for generations. From the neighborhood butcher shop to the communal table, our philosophy is simple: quality, authenticity, and love for our land.
The flavours of Salento, rooted in tradition and passion
Alongside grilled meats and roasts, the menu features Salento's great classics: homemade orecchiette, meatballs in tomato sauce, legumes and seasonal vegetables, local cheeses, and wines from the region's wineries.
Every dish pays tribute to the most authentic Salento, inviting you to rediscover the flavours of the land and family, with the wholesome goodness of times gone by and the warm hospitality only the South can offer.
Where food meets your taste
Butcher shop and trattoria: two sides of great food
La Bettola is first and foremost a historic butcher shop, where every cut of meat is carefully selected with respect for tradition. Next door, the trattoria welcomes guests into a rustic, welcoming setting, where the aroma of meat grilling over the coals mingles with the warmth of ancient stone. A place where you can choose your meat directly from the counter and enjoy it freshly cooked to order, for an authentic and honest dining experience.
