Due Camini
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

In the heart of Borgo Egnazia, Due Camini Savelletri distills Puglia’s soul into an intimate, candlelit temple of taste. This Michelin-starred dining room pairs coastal serenity with a refined, contemporary lens on regional tradition, making “Due Camini + Savelletri” a byword for destination-worthy elegance. Under chef Domingo Schingaro, the restaurant’s most distinctive feature is its poetic interpretation of Apulian terroir—vegetables from the resort’s gardens, olive oil like liquid gold, and the Adriatic’s daily catch—rendered with modern finesse.
The Story & Heritage
Opened as the fine-dining heart of the acclaimed Borgo Egnazia resort, Due Camini embodies a philosophy of place: simplicity elevated by precision, seasonality guided by the land and sea. Chef Domingo Schingaro, a native son of southern Italy, channels Puglia’s rustic memory through a contemporary culinary language honed in top Italian kitchens. The restaurant, part of the Melpignano family’s celebrated hospitality group, has earned a Michelin star for its unwavering focus on purity of flavor, craftsmanship, and a sense of hospitality that feels both generous and rare. Over time, the menu has evolved to spotlight hyper-local producers and heirloom ingredients, reframing tradition for a global gourmand.
The Cuisine & Menu
Expect a fine dining experience rooted in Mediterranean clarity and Pugliese authenticity. Seasonal tasting menus and a focused à la carte celebrate garden-to-table abundance and maritime freshness. Signatures might include Crudo di Ricciola with citrus and wild fennel; Hand-rolled Orecchiette with cima di rapa and anchovy colatura; Adriatic Red Prawn, tomato water, and almond; and Lamb with burnt artichoke and caper leaf. Desserts often nod to local flora—think Fig Leaf Panna Cotta or Olive Oil Gelato. Vegetarian paths are thoughtfully composed, with accommodations for pescatarian and gluten-free preferences when requested in advance. Pricing is positioned firmly within fine dining, reflecting meticulous sourcing and technique.
Experience & Atmosphere
A sculpted, stone-warmed interior, flickering with soft candlelight, sets a hushed, romantic mood—arguably the most enchanting room in the resort. Service is polished yet personal, orchestrated at an unhurried cadence that invites contemplation. The sommelier curates a cellar strong in Southern Italian labels, rare Apulian gems, and Old World classics, with considered wine pairings to match the tasting menus. Seek out intimate private dining or request a front-row vantage toward the open pass for culinary theater. Smart elegant attire is recommended. Due Camini reservations are essential, especially weekends and high season; hotel guests receive priority access.
