# La Pizzica

> Traditional Salento (Puglian) restaurant and pizzeria at 764-766 Fulham Road, London SW6 5SJ, Fulham, run by the D'Aversa brothers from Salento since August 2013.

La Pizzica serves the regional cooking of Salento, the southern tip of Puglia (the heel of Italy): taralli and focaccia, antipasti and cured meats, fresh pasta such as orecchiette, seafood from the Salento coast, pizza and homemade desserts, with wines from Puglia. Apulian "cucina povera" is the spirit of the kitchen: simple, seasonal ingredients and no waste. Vegetarian (V) and vegan (VG) dishes are marked on the menus.

The restaurant is named after the pizzica, the traditional folk dance and music of Salento. It is a family business founded by three brothers, Rocco, Gianluca and Ivan D'Aversa. The family also runs La Pizzica Deli (https://www.lapizzicadeli.uk/), an Italian delicatessen, bakery and café at 837 Fulham Road, London SW6 5HQ, open since 2009.
