The story

Osteria Casale Ferrovia: Apulian Modern Cuisine in Carovigno

A Restored Farmhouse in the Olive Groves

Just outside Carovigno, along the SP 34, Osteria Casale Ferrovia occupies a former railway station transformed into a tranquil dining room. Surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, the setting is peaceful and unpretentious – a place where the rumble of a passing train adds character rather than disturbance. Giuseppe Galeone welcomes guests with the kind of warmth that makes you feel immediately at ease, as if invited into a private home.

Chef Maria Lanzilotti’s Seasonal Menu

The kitchen is led by Chef Maria Lanzilotti, who draws on the rich traditions of Apulian cuisine while giving them a modern, Mediterranean inflection. Her menu changes with the seasons, relying on ingredients sourced from small local producers she trusts. The result is food that tastes of the place – vegetables, seafood, and grains treated with respect and creativity. The Michelin guide recognised this approach with a Recommended status in 2026, praising the restaurant’s ability to balance tradition with contemporary technique.

A Carefully Curated Wine List

Giuseppe Galeone oversees the wine selection with the same care. The list highlights the best of Puglia alongside national and international labels, offering something for every palate. Whether you choose a local rosato or a structured red from further afield, each bottle is chosen to complement the chef’s cooking.

Beyond the Restaurant

Osteria Casale Ferrovia also offers delivery and catering, bringing the same quality and freshness to private events and homes. The team’s mission is to create lasting memories through food – one plate at a time.
