Arco Basso

Strolling through Arco Basso toward Strada Barone, be sure to let your senses savor the delightful aroma of handmade pasta prepared by local women. Watching this ancient tradition is a unique and authentic experience that adds charm to your day. Here, the tradition of making pasta by hand, especially the iconic orecchiette, is not merely a culinary practice but a cultural expression passed down from generation to generation. In Arco Basso (also known as "Pasta Alley"), directly opposite the Norman castle, you will find local grandmothers making orecchiette by hand.
