Cime di Rapa Street Food

The Specialties of the South

For Cime di Rapa, street food is the ultimate way to showcase the rich culinary traditions of a region.

This philosophy has shaped their entire approach, offering a vibrant taste of southern Italy with its captivating colors, aromas, and flavors.

Cime di Rapa’s journey began in a classroom through the “Immigration 2017” project, designed to train young chefs from around the world.

By 2019, the initiative hit the streets, with six top students from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Morocco taking Puglia’s iconic dishes on the road. Traveling in two food trucks, they shared the soul of Puglian cuisine with locals and visitors alike.

Their vision is to create a restaurant concept that merges traditional cooking with fast, fresh, and inventive service. Dishes like orecchiette, pucce, focaccia, and classic packaged treats, like taralli and friselle, bring the essence of Puglia to Mercato Centrale, offering a true sensory journey through the flavors of the South.
