The Castle’s Kitchen

The culinary culture of Salento blends with that of the peoples who have passed through the region, giving rise to unique flavours to be savoured ‘among the clouds’.

Our cuisine is born from special ingredients: stories, journeys, invasions, cultural fusions, marriages and separations. The castle, originally built as a fortress, has always embraced diversity; within these walls, distant peoples have met, noble families have been reunited, and generations of Salentini have shared their daily lives as if in a large, precious communal residence.

Today, the castle is the Castello Volante: an exhibition space, an event venue, a bar and a restaurant. A cultural hub woven from stories that we have chosen to recount through our cuisine as well; by serving you ‘ciceri e tria’, we commemorate the Turkish invasion; our ‘frise’ recount the adventures of Aeneas; our ‘orecchiette’ evoke the Norman-Swabian rule; and our octopus tells the story of the Messapians.

We have chosen to pay particular attention to our selection of wines – which are, in their own right, worthy storytellers – and we’ll be delighted to recommend them to you.

Organise your private event

Corigliano d’Otranto Castle, in the heart of Grecìa Salentina, is one of the most beautiful castles in Puglia. A magical place where history meets contemporary culture, it is the perfect setting for celebrating life’s special occasions – such as weddings, civil partnerships and birthday parties – as well as for organising corporate meetings, conferences, book launches or musical events.

The team at Nuvole and Castello Volante will guide you through every stage of the organisation, from creating a bespoke menu and arranging the venue décor to providing technical support for sound and lighting, right through to communications.
