    What an experience. The gnocchi with lemon infused ricotta was exceptional. Additionally, starting with the burrata is a must!

    Fundamentally just really good food. Had the burrata (with figs and an orange jam and some cured meat. And then two local pasta dishes.

    One of our best pasta-oriented meal during our stay in Puglia. Very friendly staff, family-run kitchen. Great wine at reasonable price.

    Nice cozy restaurant. I was sitting next to the kitchen with glass window and could see them freshly prepare the food. I order a pasta for lunch. Good with more veggies than I am used to. I was there during off season, not crowded which is good. Not needed to make reservation. Recommendation: finish with a nice Italian coffee!

    Yum!!!!! My friend and loads of websites suggested we go here and I’m so glad we did. They made a salad for us - that wasn’t on the menu. And my spaghettone was amazingly delicious. I loved it so much. Their three types of bread are delicious too and you can see it all being made - if you’re lucky enough to sit next to the kitchen window like we were!

    Catered very well to our party of 16. Home style vibe with great hospitality shown from the staff and Nonna in the kitchen. Calm and welcoming ambience to the restaurant. Huge variety in the food available and plenty of wines to choose from. Dishes were somewhat hit and miss but would recommend the prawn pasta (for a strong flavour) and the tiramisu.

    The best meal of our whole tour of Southern Italy! The hospitality was exceptional. Both hostess and chef checked in with us throughout the meal and made wonderful recommendations so we could try all foods native to Ostuni. They also make their own wine and olive oil. I would highly recommend their stuffed artichokes and meatballs.

    By my airbnb host it was recommended to try this restaurant. As it was typical food from Plugia region. When eating outside of the restaurant it narrow alleys created a nice ambiance. However the first course pasta was too hard it was not cooked well. I am not sure whether it should taste like this. The pork dish on the other hand was really good. However the rabbit dish was a bit salty and bitter because of the vegetable.

    Great service and delicious food! Nonna cooking in the kitchen is super nice 😍

    We were sent to the terrace down the street, which was apparently part of the same restaurant. I don’t know if the food was the same but the food we had was really not good, specifically the duck was grey, chewy and without any flavour. The service was good and the patio was nice but the food definitely isn’t worth it.

    Wish I could give more. Every ingredient is basically homemade and produced in the local farm owned by the restaurant holders. We took a mix of starters and two main dishes. Every bite was an explosion of flavour and taste. And the dessert, guys, the dessert...pear, ricotta and honey. I was dreaming. Excellent match of tradition and innovation. The chef is superb and the service is warm and informed (we were served by Mirko). The final price matched perfectly the quality of the meal. 5 stars.

    Amazing food in a great location. Extremely helpful staff with great English. We were recommended a few dishes and is was great. Service was top notch. Don’t think twice!!

    Our lunch was an exceptional dining experience created by chef Mario, served by Salmone. The food is freshly made and typical of the area and combined the flavours delicately so each dish was unique and deliciously memorable. A must visit!!

    We were referred by a local shop keeper to come to this restaurant for lunch. And it turns out, the food was pretty decent and showed the specialties of Ostuni. Service was delightful and the atmosphere was all right. We were offered many freebies which complimented the experience, but the fish appetizer we were given at the beginning was too bony for us. We ordered calf cheek which was very tender and the mashed potato was flavorful.
