Trullo Sovrano
In the modern part of town, the 18th- century Trullo Sovrano is the only two-floor trullo, built by a wealthy priest’s family. It’s a small museum giving something of the atmosphere of trullo life, with sweet, rounded rooms which include a re-created bakery, bedroom and kitchen. The souvenir shop here has a wealth of literature on the town and surrounding area.

Il Trullo d'Oro
Hidden behind the main drag in the new town is this cute trullo restaurant. Start with a dizzying array of stuzzichini (literally 'stimulants') - fried black olives and green peppers, eggplant, wild mushrooms and fried dough-balls - before ploughing through generous plates of pasta and on to thin salsiccie sausages or morsels of veal wrapped in pancetta.

Trattoria Amatulli
Excellent trattoria with a cheerily cluttered interior papered with photos of smiley diners, plus superb down-to-earth dishes like orecchietta al ragù con carne (‘little ears’ pasta in a meat-and-tomato based sauce). Wash it down with the surprisingly drinkable house wine costing the lordly sum of €4 a litre.

La Cantina
Although tourists have discovered this place, it has maintained the high standards established back in 1958. There are just seven tables and one frenetic waiter, who serves dishes like tagliolina (fettuccine-style pasta) with porcini mushrooms and chestnuts, grilled meats and superb seasonal vegetables.

Il Poeta Contadino
The dining room here has a medieval banqueting feel with its sumptuous decor and chandeliers. Although the tasting menu will set you back a cool €1000, you can dine for a lot less on dishes like guinea fowl with goose ham and black truffle (€23) or aubergine ravioli, seafood sauce and courgette julienne (€15).

Kave Club
A modern café/bar right on the main piazza. The in-crowd comes here to watch the scene with a generous glass of wine and large plates of aperitivi. Service is terrible but that doesn't seem to deter anyone. There's a good selection of salads, cheese and meat plates.

Chiesa Sant'Antonio
One last bit of trulli madness is the Chiesa Sant'Antonio a trullo-shaped church at the top of Rione Monti. It was built with donations from American émigrés and is topped by a trullo dome measuring 19.8m.

New Town
After battling the crowds in the trulli zone you may need a break in the relative sanity of the new town. The best time to come is the early evening when everyone is out for the lively passeggiata.

Museo del Territorio
The farming history of the town is nicely explained in the Museo del Territorio, a grand two-storey trullo built in 1780.

Fruit and Vegetable Market
A very good fruit and vegetable market along the main drag of Largo Martellotta every Thursday.
