F


orty kilometers from Bari, on Italy’s Adriatic coast, sits the picturesque city of Trani. For brothers Felice, Riccardo and Roberto Sgarra, who grew up in this land of stone and vineyards where time seems to move slower, this was always going to be the place


where their restaurant, Casa Sgarra, would begin its story. “We wanted a place that spoke about us, about our history,” says chef Felice. “Roberto, in the cellar, tells the story of the region through its wines. And I try to let Puglia speak through the dishes.” Cooking has always been at the heart of the


family, but their parents passed down something equally valuable: a culture of hospitality and an understanding of the importance of care. “Casa Sgarra was not created to impress, but


to welcome,” says Felice. “Riccardo in the dining room, with his grace and elegance, gives voice to our hospitality.”


A tale of three brothers Chef Felice and his twin brother Riccardo were born in Andria in 1982, the year Italy won the soccer World Cup. As a child, Felice followed his father in the fields, absorbing the rhythms and values of the land. Today, his cuisine blends those rural memories with refined technique, a spirit of innovation and a desire to amaze through balance. He plays with the scents of the sea and the land, with textures and colors, but always starts with excellent, seasonal ingredients. Restaurant manager Riccardo brings elegance


and hospitality to Casa Sgarra. His international experience with Hyatt Corporation, along with his work as a brand ambassador in the world of wine, have made him a refined narrator of the dining room and the territory.
