Welcome. I’m Maria Semeraro, but everyone calls me Mapuliaria. If you chose Puglia for your holiday, you already love its beauty, light and authenticity. My mission is to turn those inspirations into unforgettable flavors, bringing the excellence of Apulian cuisine into the intimacy of your villa. You’ll recognize me right away: I always wear a turban, a symbol of my creativity and the dedication I put into every gesture. My approach blends the deep roots of my land with a touch of international elegance—crafted for those, like you, who seek a kind of luxury made of truth and passion.
Mapuliaria offers an authentic cuisine deeply rooted in Apulian culinary tradition, reinterpreted with elegance and respect for ingredients. Each dish is shaped by seasonality, the freshness of local products and the desire to tell the story of the land through true, recognizable flavors—never ordinary.
Our cuisine comes from the most authentic Apulian tradition: handmade orecchiette, fava beans & chicory, fresh fish, seasonal vegetables and recipes passed down over time. Every dish tells the story of the region through genuine flavors, artisan techniques and carefully selected seasonal ingredients.
The menu changes with the rhythm of the seasons and the daily market, always offering the best that land and sea can provide. We cook simple dishes with strong character, highlighting fresh local products and turning them into authentic, elegant and memorable experiences.
With Mapuliaria, every menu is a bespoke project—built around your tastes, needs and the experience you want to live. We start by listening: special occasions, dietary preferences, intolerances, the style of the evening and the atmosphere you wish to create become the foundation for an exclusive culinary proposal. We work with fresh, seasonal and carefully selected ingredients, highlighting Apulian excellence through an authentic yet contemporary cuisine that surprises without losing its identity. Each dish is designed to tell a story, balancing flavor, aesthetics and conviviality. Whether it’s a romantic dinner, a private event, a celebration or a lunch with friends, we create personalized tasting journeys that turn your home into a tailor-made restaurant—taking care of every detail from appetizer to dessert. With Mapuliaria, the menu is not just food: it’s an experience to live and remember.
With Mapuliaria, gluten-free becomes a complete, safe and truly satisfying gastronomic experience.

We select certified ingredients and fresh raw materials, enhancing the flavors of Apulian tradition with a contemporary touch through creative, balanced and refined dishes. Each proposal is crafted around your preferences, the occasion and your guests’ needs, offering a personalized culinary journey from appetizer to dessert.
Mapuliaria’s vegan menu is born from the meeting of creativity, seasonality and respect for ingredients. We design tailor-made 100% plant-based experiences that surprise with taste, balance and presentation—without sacrificing depth of flavor. Each proposal highlights fresh local ingredients, reinterpreting Apulian tradition in a contemporary way through light, refined dishes full of personality. From appetizer to dessert, we build complete journeys designed to delight both those who follow a vegan diet and those who simply want to discover a new, elegant and mindful cuisine.
