A North End dining room whose Sunday "Gravy" service is where the southern shapes come out — orecchiette, cavatelli, and a slower kind of afternoon.
Menu verified on July 27, 2026
Sunday "Gravy" service only.
The Puglia stamp is not yet active here. Orecchiette with sausage and rabe appears on the Sunday "Gravy" service only, and both the dish and its availability must be verified by Pesto Pasteria before it can earn a stamp. Prezza is not an Abruzzo stop.

The Puglia stamp may only be activated once the dish and its Sunday availability are verified by an administrator.

Only the designated Passport Dish earns the regional stamp. Additional dishes deepen the tasting experience.
Why this dish represents Puglia
Orecchiette and broccoli rabe are strongly associated with Puglia. The addition of sausage makes this a restaurant interpretation.
Puglia's pasta is made from semolina and water — orecchiette, cavatelli, strascinati — and dressed with cime di rapa, olive oil, anchovy and toasted breadcrumbs.
